I had a success story regarding my car the other night. It was at the Maccas window. A young girl served me, and this 14year old guy sticks his head around her and says "You've got the best car too...". He said it so fast and nervous I had to laugh. Then as I'm pulling out of the drivethru I hear "F^&kin' smoke it". I really wanted to oblige him, but the drivethru can get a little narrow for full burnouts :Bang:

Um, it's not that complicated.

The original Mitsubishi Magna was fitted with a 2.6 litre four cylinder, called an Astron II if memory serves. It was a dog of an engine: no grunt, no economy & no reliability. The only redeeming feature is that it is fitted with a pair of Lanchester balancer shafts (named for the famous engineer).

The idea is that these shafts cancel out the second order harmonic vibration inherent in all four cylinder motors (also inherent in flat plane crank V8s as well eg the Ford DFV, but I digress).

The point of the comparison was to suggest that an RB26DETT was pretty much the same as an Astron II.

For further information on 1980's vintage Magnas please contact your local Mitsubishi dealer.

my car is a cefiro

funny things said

filling up my car i go to the counter and say $40 on number 6 thanx, and the guy goes tnats a nice mazarati! is that the quattrovalve?

At a party a guy asked me what my car was i told him its a cefiro, he said what? i ellaborated, he says Ohhh! if you are after more power for it you should put a lazer tx3 engine in it. My mate has one and it does 11 quarters...

Guy at carlovers...

stooge: Thats a nice car mate

me: thanks

stooge: is that a turbo

me: yep sure is

stooge: you know they pollute the environment

me: no they dont (grinning)

stooge: yes they do! all carburated cars do! you need a catalytic converter

me: i already have one

stooge: No you dont! i cant see it (he was looking at the front grille)

i just shook my head

at the traffic lights a guy in a starlet with bodykit signalls for me to wind down the window so i do. he says hey mate do you want to race? i sain nah sorry dude. Light goes green he does a FWD burnout and takes off down blaxland road and proceedes to do about 110 through the fixed speed camera with 3 warning signs before it.

but he sure showed me how fast his starlet was.

Classic!

took my car to midas to get the discs machined and the guy goes thats a import isnt it. i said yes. he says yeah he said it will cost you an extra $19 per disc because the wheels are really hard to get off on those imports?

WTF?

i also get

nice magna

nice 4 door silvia

cefiro isnt that a holden people mover?

my mates mitsubishi skyline is faster than your car

I love it all tho it gives me a good laugh

I don't have a Skyline, I have an S13 Silvia.

One time as I was getting out of my car at a mates house a guy walking down the street says "Nice Skyliner mate!".

I've had countless young kids call my car a Skyline. WTF? It looks nothing like a Skyline!

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
