thanks scotty for the manual

but thats still only the service manual

looking for the engine technical manual

it shows you how to pull everyything apart

no probs, ill keep my eye out for it, i do search for that stuff from time to time.

anyway to make those pulsars 4wd? like using gti-r running gear? would be really awesome then

N14's yes. There's two options; graft GTi-R floorpan firewall back onto an N14 shell, extend rear floorpan slightly or use the existing floorpan but modify it to suit 4WD tunnel, diff cradle, etc. The first option is more common, there's somewhere between 3-4 running examples in Australia, and some unfinished projects. Can be engineered.

N15's - not impossible, but harder. There were 4WD N15's overseas, but they were 1.5L diesels and the drivetrain is small and weak. It'd be difficult to engineer a floorpan conversion in Australia on an N15. There's 1 4WD N15 currently being made in Australia using a GTi-R floorpan with extensive modifications to lengthen it width and lengthwise (the N15 is larger than the RNN14 & N14.)

Didn't nissan sell a bluebird (pulsar sedan) with the GTiR running gear from factory?
only the n16 4 door was sold as a bluebird I think

The U13 did come in AWD SR20DET, I don't think the drivetrain is the same as the GTi-R though. Much like GTS-4 vs GT-R running gear in Skylines.

The Bluebird is not a Pulsar in that series. The only time the Bluebird has been the same as the Pulsar was in the N16 as CrispyFries pointed out. Our N16 sedan is a Bluebird Sylphy in Japan.

you know for $90k you could almost buy 2 R34 GTR's?

smell that? That's the harsh stench of reality. seriously though, I dunno why some of you guys pour so much money into a depreciating asset that isn't even a limited edition or the top of the line in its range.

...

For the love of it Shan. It's a hobby, and it was my first car. I didn't even sniff at the last round of mods early this year - manual conversion, hydraulic clutch conversion, straight cut gearset, Nismo 1.5way LSD cost me ~$8800. Yes I could buy two stock N15's for the cost of the conversion alone but meh, it doesn't phase me.

THIS.

Everytime I think of dropping more than 20% of the value of my car on a mod, I generally just look at selling the car and upgrading. I mean realistically speaking, do you think Juliette is ever gonna see $90,000 from the sale of the car, even if it has that much in mods and maintenance? Makes it even cheaper when you realise half the people who mod cars are in debt and sometimes get strapped for cash, which means you can wrangle an even better deal.

Of course you don't buy if the car looks or feels molested, no matter what the seller says. Use your brain and not your dick when you buy a car. If I am buying a risky car I make sure the saving I make covers the cost of a possible fix... never had to be in that situation, but that's the mentality I approach it with.

I know what you are saying, over time the price adds up. I bought a $15K 4wd 6 years ago and since then I have spent another $97Kdd on it and now I am left with a vehicle that owes me $112K and if I wanted to sell it tomorrow I would be lucky to get $40K and it has a 2 week old $25K engine in it. Such is life.

See that's okay with me, because I'm not under the illusion I'd make much more than 20% of the money I've spent on it back. Realistically the car would sell for between $12-15K, more if I parted it. You don't mod cars for resale value - which is fine, because I don't intend to sell it and I'm not strapped for money, it owes me nothing. I currently have three cars.

which brings me back to my previous statement... unless your car is top of the food chain, don't waste money on a lower spec car.

yep right on the money

Gtr is f**kig slow out of the box.

its slow after you have been in faster/more powerful cars, but stock/stock it does its job

N14's yes. There's two options; graft GTi-R floorpan firewall back onto an N14 shell, extend rear floorpan slightly or use the existing floorpan but modify it to suit 4WD tunnel, diff cradle, etc. The first option is more common, there's somewhere between 3-4 running examples in Australia, and some unfinished projects.

ah yeah, still a lot of work either way, even for the n14 :S

edit: my friends looking for a GTIR, their getting pretty cheap

rather be in some box tbh. and slow is good

lol

found out today one teacher slammed another haha

he took her out to dinner, f**ked her in a hotel and avoided her, did it again the week after. LMFAO

did you manage to get up that? or were you winched out?

No never managed to get up that one. People only used to drive down it never up. I kept on bottoming out, hence needing bigger tyres. That place where that video was shot was all destroyed in the fires so it no longer exists.

      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?

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      @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?

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
