It's back!!

The red barge, as pictured, is finally on the road with a freshened engine carrying Arias 80 thou forgies, GTR conrods and fuel pump (noisy bugger that has delivered 316rwkw), balance, O rings, lightened fly, desurged head oil gallery, adjustable caster rods, ACL race bearings, Hybrid 800hp fmic with piping welded by moi and SAU stickers side and rear (didn't think too many would see the front :D).

The forgies are quiet and the perfomance gods took notice and said it was good.

Soon to follow run in are some more adjustable suspension bits (camber mostly) and pineapples, Hicas removal bracket when the thread tap arrives, Power FC and some whup-ass tyres.

I want to thank Gary, aka Sydneykid, for advice on the right things to do, some of which are outstanding at this stage but a budget is a budget, Daniel from Autobarn Epping for recommendations on the machining work (Duggans Balancing Reservior) and other help, oh, and p*ssing off to QLD when I needed new GTR rod bolts....and I swear the idiots at Northern Nissan Bundoora are the most useless bast*rds god ever shovelled guts into after ordering the wrong bolts that should be in a lawnmower AND telling me I was wrong, then getting 10 bolts and expecting me to PAY extra after offering me a price. At least they sent the cutest parts runner in Melbourne to deliver :D the other 2 bolts.

I also want to thank all the good people of SAU for the inspiration to do something a little special when the sad moment came to retire another set of pistons.

So if you see me comin' wave....and lock up the wimmin folk.

i took it down the drags to deflower my drag-virginity .... first drag ...car fine .... second drag "um lauren there was a bit of black smoke coming outta your car" ..... mechanic was there ... said car was ok as soon as it starts blowing white smoke then we worry. Went to stage up for third drag ... car was coughin n spluttering n idling weird ..... i apparently pissed black smoke all down the 1/4. First we thought turbo .... but it made a bit of boost on way home so we did a compression test :confused: Number 4 piston died.

Car was still driveable so i was limping it too n from work til i could pay for the rebuild ..... but one day i came across this Silvia .... and i couldnt help myself ..... i just had to go the chop ..... but 4 secs in ..... i look in rear vision mirror and all i see is black smoke ... luckily iwasnt far from home ... i got it home .... restarted it the next morning and the revs just died.

They just pulled my car apart last night ..... luckily no damage to the block ... but yeah 5 broken pistons :(

Good news Geoff :/ My forgies arent far away either ..... managed to break 5 outta 6 pistons .... not a bad effort from a chick :(
Lauren, you are DANGEROUS, but you can be my wingman(girl) anyday!!! Although, I now have 6 to my record :(. Is 5 automatically an ace? Simonster?

I'm confused as to why it was blowing black smoke. Usually you get black from overfuelling and white/bluish from oil...from vast experince at blowing up everything from lawnmowers to 823hp v10 twin supercharged leopard tank engines (each pot is equivalent to a 186ci holden motor)

So what slugs did you go for and whos doing the rebuild.

Well yeah it was bluey black ...... same as your forgies i think .... Aries? SST are doing the rebuild .... Ant is working on my car which is one of the best in the West :(

hehe nah im not dangerous .... im a tame little driver :/

Yeh sure...Lethal Lauren.

Maybe the black smoke is from the clutch???? You know how girlies are rumoured to ride them a bit :run: .

I would seriously recommend a similar build to mine as the engine is as smooth as now and has heaps of power even on std boost. Series 1.5 'puter tho.

I can't wait to PFC after the run in. It now just lights up when rolling in 2nd at 40 and spins all the way to redline. The gtr rods will be a bonus for higher rpm so I will make maybe 280-290kmh and around 280 rwkw which is almost too much for track without slicks.

So long as uyou beat the silvia thats all that matters :D

Nice work on the 5 pistons though!! Pretty fair effort!! What times did u end up pulling down the 1/4???

Will do on the hp when done, but I don't drag. To setup for a decent time is not real compatible with circuit and vv.

No clutch....did you take the handbrake off? Just covering all the bases here. I got my girlie an auto gts and V8 soarer so she wouldn't have a clutch to burn out :D

Nothing wrong with her driving tho.

14.8 but it was my first ever drag .... then the car became unhealthy .... wondered on the 3rd run why it was pulling an N/A time when i launched it harder and actually tried. :D

Should be good for mid 13s tho .... rebuild nearly complete so will run it in then take it down n try, try again.

      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.
