suspension arms bent. maybe my swaybar too, but fingers crossed and i have stock one. fairly easy fix. only a small teeny scratch on the fb thank christ. the bloody front end was painted only last week.

no number plate. it was coming onto the eastern outbound from tram rd. slow car in front, 4wd behind. nudge shiiiiiit bang. the cocksucker stopped about 50m down the onramp and waited to see that i wasnt dead, then took off. i was driving like a f**king granny the whole day goddamnit

these are the people cops should be getting, but im sure the cops would see the car with no numberplates but let it go and continue getting those cars with noisy exhausts instead.

It was completely rebuilt. Billet straight cut 1st-4th gears, billet crown wheel and pinion shaft, new diff bearings, Nismo mechanical 1.5way LSD, hydraulic clutch conversion. Had it in the car for all of a trip from Bayswater to Healesville when the circlip popped off the end of the shaft, lodged itself elsewhere in the gearbox and the car was stuck in 5th gear which made for a very interesting and difficult tow home since the car wouldn't roll ;)

Gearbox was out of the car on Tuesday, landed in Sydney on Wednesday, got fixed and sent on Thursday arrived back in Melbourne this afternoon and I got the car back this evening.

I haven't even driven it yet :) The Pulsar was auto beforehand, I'd been collecting parts for this conversion since November DECA last year when I pulled the car off the road.

Don't presume the worst all the time Shan :)

Respray to me = The paint faded over the last 18 years. Full respray to freshen it up.

Head/turbo condition = Yeah, maybe he has blown the turbo.. But it has a new one now so it's all good? I fail to see a problem.

Trust me I've seen enough dropkicks come through the doors at the panelbeaters to know why someone resprays their cars or changes head and turbo.

NO ONE resprays their car for the hell of it in the same colour it was before. They only ever respray the car in the same colour to cover up something or to fix damage.

If you're lucky, it's cos of faded paint. Worst case scenario its cos it had a frontal, or was a VIV car, or a rebirth. You're just as big a dropkick if you're naive enough to believe the in the kindness of the human spirit when it comes to used car sales. If you believe the worst it makes the seller work harder to sell the car to you, or at least be more willing to drop the price. Don't delude yourself and buy a car with glazed over eyes.

Cops are enforcing the road rules on VicRoads behalf...so yeah they have the power to f**k you up, but they usually only bother with trucks etc.

Saw today two vicroads cars and an unmarked cop car pulled over on the grass section between the eastern freeway. 3 guys talking to each other.

Sounds like they were getting ready to ram more people lol

What are they goin for?

Color pref would be black, gunmetal, white, silver...

white is classic on a 32, like bayside blue on a 34 and midnight purple on a 33.

20k or so for a mint 94 model.

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @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.
