looks like somebody was up to no good with your car.

it looks like chips from the ECU? perhaps your car has been re-chipped (like powerchip).

apart from what looks like a 'bonus' it actually could be a sign of caution as you don't know what air/fuel mixture was tuned in the re-chipped computer, and knowing that is in the car, you would guess that there is a chance that your (ab)used car's engine had been properly (ab)used by the previous owner on some hills or racetracks in Japan...

Thanks rs73. The engine runs fine, have got it serviced at a couple of places that deal with the cars in Perth and they've both said it's all in good order. One of my guesses would be something like power chip but there are electronics for other stuff as well. Would be interesting to know though, because I would consider getting the ECU reflashed but obviously if it has already done there isn't much point. Could also be that the chips that correspond to these in the car are the non-stock ones or the stock ones could have been put back in. I got a powerchip for my last car and it was all good, I always use 98RON anyway.

well I had powerchip too in my old Mitsubishi Galant hatchback (SOHC) - which I think was a total waste of my money as I didn't get any noticeable performance increase out of it.

what did you expect from a SOHC Galant... enough power to pull the skin off a rice pudding?

:banana:

I wondered where I left those :dry:

555 timer and a inverter IC- has to do with the IR repeater thats in there. had a glitch with it and put a new set in there.

Yeah I wondered if it had something to do with you did Chris, thanks, mystery solved :D

rs73: Last car that I had that the powerchip went in, it was a noticeable improvement, got it from a friend and from memory he was good enough to let me try it and make him an offer, so I decided it was worthwhile but wouldn't have been if I had to pay full price for it new (maybe $250 vs $550?)

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
