Holy crap there's a blast from the past.

I think I sold you a Datto 1600 rally car (the dark blue one) back in 1999 or something. I saw your name all over the pointy end of the AMSAG results tables in that car, so you seemed to have a lot more success in it than I ever did. Obviously moved onto bigger and better things since then?

Had a ball in the Datto 1600, was a bit dissapointed with the next owner - he killed the poor old girl - several times. I fought for years for the yellow one - but the ex sold it for scrap metal. So someone, ended up with a fully ported re-co'd head, 4 cam shafts and a brand new reco 45mm webbers and manifold.

The old girl was a bit different, to previous sports sedans and speedway, but was wrapped - beat little brother at his own game - you know he told me at the time I was to old and thanks to your Datto - I showed him!!

So what are you up to these days?

Cheers

So Stu, you going to inform us of the new car or cars?

sounds like its going to be good year for you in 2012!!

Hi Chris

Ummmmmm - NO.

Will do as soon as things get a bit closer to finalising -- !! hoping for a great 2012.

The good old AU joined the 60 second club today at Wakefield - cool track, 3 race old tyres - not bad for an old taxi - 1.00.95

Yeay me and Henry / etta

Cheers

Scrap metal? I could almost cry. That was my first 1600 and I drove half way around Australia in it.

I'm still dabbling with rally cars - have an ex-ARC Honda Civic at present, and am looking very closely at an EVO rally car (although after going for a run in it yesterday, I have to admit that I'm scared of it)

Here is a hint and take note - no wonder the US dollar is crap at the moment - they can't even put a steering wheel on the right side of the car. LOL

Got that right about cheap cars that are LHD i was looking at this and thinking if i sold the R100 maybe...

Yeh that's exactly what I was thinking. It wasn't the wild ride through twisty tarmac forest roads that scared me (I was actually crouched down in the nav seat giggling like a maniac). It was the thought of myself driving the car anywhere near as hard as that that really made me worry. It seemed to wind out to the limiter in fifth even on the shortest straights, then braking for the next corner was mind blowing. This was on worn out gravel tyres, too.

I'm getting excited just thinking about it.

Your new toy looks and sounds like it'll be a hoot as well.

You will love the evo, just not the repair bills when things go wrong!

so cool. they are a lot of race car for that money. I'm a bit surprised that it seems to have an H pattern box in it. I would have thought it would have a seqential. also the 'look through corners' sticker on the wheel tells me it may have been a drive day car or with a pretty amateur driver. that is track day lesson 1, day 1. still it's a shitload of car for a pocket full of cash. I say do it! it's worth it for the sound alone...

Well if someone wanted to pay $32,500 for my R100 Historic Sports Sedan I’m sure I would upgrade to this Viper very quickly think i would part with our GTR as well then.

I also had to look twice at that sticker on the steering wheel. Its funny there’s one very quick car doing 1.38 at the creek in the CAMS Supersprints that has a small map of the race track on his steering wheel LOL.

    • 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.
