So i decide to post up my car here as well, the main build thread will still be on NS however I will update this thread from time to time since sometime in the future ill be attending SAU track days.

Basics:

1995

Manual

A fair few kms.

Burgundy paint, some parts faded.

Engine:

Random ass stainless steel manifold.

3" turbo back, including cat and a huge genie turbo muffler.

pod filter(needs a box)

new water pump (installed by ADM)

new midnightmods braided turbo water line. (installed by ADM)

Wheels/Tyres:

R33 stockies up front, with 205/55/16

ford stockies(black) with goodyear eagle f1s, 215/45/17.

Brakes/Suspension:

QFM HPX pads front/rears.

castrol super dot 4 (couldn't afford motul tongue.gif)

Bodywork:

Luxury front lip

ADM spoiler

Sunroof

Debadged.

Interior:

old clarion headunit

two 6x9" clarion speakers in the rear(hectic bass bro)

two unknown speakers in the front.

Things I've done:

changed the oil and filter.(jan)

changed the diff oil, require the exhaust to be dropped..(jan)

painted front lip gloss black..(jan)

satin black wipers(jan)

removed the door beep with keys still in the car. .(jan)

installed new pads, changed brake fluid(feb)

changed clutch fluid(feb)

changed gearbox oil(feb)

painted chrome exhaust tips black(feb)

rewired indicators(feb)

removed fog lights(feb)

Things I'm doing:

nothing

Plans:

Heat wrap, (will get stock manifold instead with new OEM gaskets later on).

Ducting.

Wheel alignment.

Muffler.

Spray roof.

investigate noise.

suspension.

light weight rims.

strip interior.

Parts for time-attack( a long way off)

I bought the car with the intent to take it to the track yet track days aint cheap, might be a while before i go down but im sure it ll be worth the wait. However it is a daily, it will still need to be somewhat practical.

The whole idea is to put up a huge first post, then add others as you do things

linking to ns.com is useless

If you'd like to have a thread here like everyone else, please use the same format. Otherwise the thread will be closed. SAU does things one way and ns.com does things their way. Over here all the info needs to be on this forum so if it's too time consuming to update sau and ns I'd suggest you choose one and do a good job at that one

    • @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 👇🏾
