i think i saw your car today sly33 ... did you park ur car in a car park in rundle street today?? i think i saw u come out ... i think thats one of the cleanest ones i've seen ... top paint job  ;)  .. then i saw this kinda lemon lime sorta colour r33 with a weird kinda kit... i couldn't tell what it was ... reminded me of those old fords ... but it had a nice lemon lime kinda paint jobs  :) .. this was all after the cruise today were i spotted everyone LOL  :)

hi hip! yeah i parked in the u park just down from bourngiornos. Ive since thrown in the new bilsteins and even lower kings. It looks tuffer now!

i saw that 33 in the new ford "citric acid" fluro yellow color. It has Vic plates on it, and the owner chose to give me the stinkeye one saturday night while cruising, maybe coz he didnt have the best skyline :) He was cruising with another 33, a burgandy one with a carbon bonnet with Vic plates too, which also gave me the stinkeye! haha

my cars currently getting tuned with the new dump and z32 AFM, if you want a closer look hip we can meet sometime next week.

LOL ...  

sly  .. would love to see it next time on a cruise or something  :P ... best lookin 33 i've seen ... well arguably the best .. debateable between u and whatisname and steve  LOL  :D

Hip,

Funny you should mention Steve, Al (SLY33) & me, 'cause I've just recently had a closer look at Steve's beast, & I drove past Al's shiny new orange machine at Mile End Autobarn CP only the other day :)

I'd give 1st place to Al hands down. Very impressive looking car with a stand out paint job, wheels, & list of performance mods (growing each day it seems :D )!

2nd to Steve. Well over 300rwkw, nice bodykit & interior, plus the engine bay looks awesome!

I'll take 3rd for now :D

Thanks for the kind words Hiep and Mat, I was actually hoping to get a closer look at your engine bay there Mat, to get some tidy up tips for mine:D I still have a long way to go I think to win any awards. Grepins engine bay is looking very nice these days too (tidier than mine, but he needs to give it a dust), but I think it will take along time before anyone takes the award from Mat if the photos are anything to go by.

I dont plan on running the car, not really interested, maybe one day to see what it does, but for now I am still not happy with it, just a couple of things that need sorting, like FMIC to plenum pipe, then some decent rubber with grip, stronger wastegate spring, etc etc... it never ends:)

MattR, what is happening with you? When are you getting a new 'line?

Steve, likewise mate, thanks for the kind words ;) Yes Greg's engine bay is looking very impressive after his latest round of mods. Not to mention the performance!

You'll have to drop round sometime mate, we can continue our brief chat from the other night. Sorry I didn't get a chance to drop in again :) Didn't think you'd like me coming over again @ 1am!

You've got to run the car at AIR Steve. It doesn't have to be the 4 6 & Rotary Nat's, just head down on a regular street meet. Wednesday night meets are more Import orientated (less grip though). You'll have a ball & end up hooked like Greg :D Just take the plates off if you're concerned.

Has anybody seen the white R32 with a personalised plate "NUTS"

I would like the dudes phone number if anyone has it.

I liike FLYLICE

dont have his number, but he possibly works at roccas (super cheap) darlington.....

Thanks Matt, but no one can beat your engine bay! Thats show quality detail!

I had a guy come up to me while cruising rundle tonight "Hey buddy, i seen you cruising around here and there, but tell me, what is FLYLICE? what does it mean?!"

haha. on telling him "ahhh.... AHHH!"

BTW does anyone here not know what my plates mean? :)

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
