Ok so im after a new car and it has to be another turbo. (or something nice) If you have one for sale or know of one that is let me know about it as my beautiful car (that cost me a carton of beer) is about to die and now that its coming up to winter i dont like the idea of riding the bike every day :)

As you would be aware I've got the blue GTS4 auto. Negotiable on price, car available for a test drive (accompanied of course!). Yes it's an auto, but it's a very nice car especially as a daily driver, Auto has 3 different shift modes. The grip of a 4wd and no touble putting the power to the ground. 3 inch Apexi exhaust, good tyres, balance of 6 months rego. Car is in Launceston.

whats your price range?

It really depends on what im wanting i guess. But if i see something i like then i dont care about the $$$ factor. But at the end of the day i would like a nice clean car that will get me around as a daily driver and something i can have a little fun in for a reasonable dollar. If that means i have to get a car that is comes under the 15 year rule and compliance it myself then so be it :P

Ahhh bike in summer, turbo in winter, a man after my own heart.... (Suzuki RF600 summer, Nissan Skyline HR30 winter)

good luck finding tasty winter transport.

Yep its got to be done, love the bike but its just not that practicle with work everyday. When ya got a suit on ya can't really ride a bike :headspin:

    • 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.
