rezz, do you know any1 with USS or HAA auction access? i'd love to get an rx7 asap and auction seems the way to go, but most of the export websites charge a similar amount as if i was buying from oz.

I used to do business with David Zozuk at www.kobecars.com but it seems like that site is down/no longer used. Other than him I don't know anybody off hand. Why don't you buy a car through Yahoo Auctions?

hmm ive been told to stay away from yahoo auctions when it comes to whole cars.... in fact by david zozuk himself! he had a bad experience once

but then again he's reluctant to bid for me as im living in another city and he says its a head fluck to reg a car in another city, so im thinkin i might need to find someone in okayama ken... aussie bar here i might go check out.. says he can hook me up

anyways, back to my sho chu.. talk soon

will come down to osaka soon and hook up

Did you see my thread about the Silvia? That was through Yahoo... best car buying experience I've ever had.

I guess the trick is to establish contact with the owner asap (throguh mail or Yahoo messenger) and ask all the nitty gritty questions abotu the car. Being Japanese, they're usually forthright with all the info, and you can quickly weed out someone whos trying to rip you off... There are some genuine bargains in there.

i'm not goin to ebisu....

but i'm planning on goin to japan in november

the dates for round 7 havent been released yet (i couldnt find it on d1gp website)

does anyone know approx when in nov it will be? would be great to meet up with some fellow forum people if anyones goin?

    • @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.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
