Luke i'll use the gts4 seat if I can't find some recaro's or bride seats. It was interesting that the engineer said if

I brought seat rails or built them either way he would have to inspect them.

She's really coming along nicely. I badly want to see this smoke so many others that have no idea what's in it, at the drag strip.

Keep up the excellent work man,

Pathos.

Absolutely super impressed!! You clearly have amazing talent, Coming from a background growing up with old holden's and coming into the Jap scene, I am loving this build, will e fantastic to watch on a circut

Had a bit of a side project for a mate, before he fitted his new motor he wanted paint the engine bay and asked me to fix some rust

and fill all the holes in the engine bay.

Now back to mine, fitted the fuel tank, changed the r33 hand brake cables to the r32 ones and fitted the rest of the hand brake.

Also fitted the ATTESA pump and started working out which line I would be able to reuse. I might bolt everything together

and take it to Show us ya wheels at Numurkah in December.

Got a bit more done, fitted the motor and gearbox, tacked up the gearbox cross member using the skyline one. Fitted 10mm

spacers between the front subframe and the adapter plates to drop the motor down a bit for more bonnet clearance and fitted

the radiator and intercooler.

Thats it!!!

Barstardise the shizzle out of that Holden!!

I would love to see this thing on the street when it is finished.

Will scare the crap out of alot of people, and confuse many more.

You work quick mate. Are you going to fully seam weld those chassis rails or just leave them stitched? Interested to know why?

Generally it's to stop potential cracks spreading along the length of a seam.

I can't get enough of this build; it's my two favourite cars made into one piece of awesomeness.

Interesting and makes sense, cheers! And I agree, this car is going to be mental!

Made up a dodgy clutch line to check if the under the dash master cylinder setup I made works, after bleeding it the pedal feels alot lighter

then the skyline pedal. Gave it a quick coat of etch primer to tidy it up. Not much more will be done to this one as I need to

finish painting my other torana sedan.

    • 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.
