Cairns To Canberra and.......

:Oops: Yep, Cairns to Canberra in three days (3000 Klms) and only two speeding tickets. must not be trying hard enough. One was an almost fair cop, you know the usual, hiding in the undergrowth at the bottom of a long downhill run on a dual lane divided motorway. Both in the wonderful state of depression, sorry, NSW. Just on a side note, aren't the police cars pretty when they turn on all the lights. Ah well just a bit more for the Bob Carr re-election fund I suppose.

Cheers

Thanks ed R34,

That was a tongue in cheek thing. It's good to know that there are some more R34's out there although on the trip between Cairns and Canberra, I only saw one R33 just south of Mackay and one R32 just near Maitland. Must all hang around the cities.

It was a great trip only spoiled by the boys in blue. I have often heard it said on this forum, that once you have driven a skyline most other cars in the same price category are found wanting. I would now have to agree. Turbo cars sure put the fun back into driving. After a lengthy recent diet of NA 4 cyls, the Skyline is a bloody great drive.

:cheers:

    • Thanks, I checked from the back of the cluster and no reading there. I undid the connector and plugged in the wires directly to start from where I'm getting a reading: https://imgur.com/a/W8JI6Yr Weirdly enough when I tried to get a reading from the crimps that connect to the fuel pump assembly, I got nothing. Not sure what's my next step as I have admittedly limited knowledge with electricity. 
    • Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.
    • Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.
    • That's some good input mate. Nice.
