LOL, you hook up a shift light to the ECU while forgetting to turn the ignition off and forget to unplug the ECU from the harness !!

Not a good thing... You hear crackle crackle pop...... then the smell of smoke.

And like my electronics teacher told me years ago, transistors are made out of smoke, cause once you let the smoke out they don't work anymore :P

The series 2 boot latch doova's are made from a machined alloy of some sort, instead of having the clear plastic epoxy over them.

sweet.. the only thing i'm confused about is when i bought the car the dude gave me the comliance sheet showing everything that was done when it origianlly came and it said that it was built early-mid 1994

i was a bit cranky as the point of sale was that it was a 1995 car but he said its a 95 model just built in 94

didn't the s1 come with an airbag too?

i have one i just didnt think that it was only available in the 1.5 and then the dual in s2

How can anyone forget the sexy sexy series 1 velour interior in the series 1.5? :) I often thought that if I bought a series 2 R33, I would track down a series 1 interior to put in!

Jay, you should have used frying your ECU as an excuse to get a Powerfc :)

I think the later series 1's has the silver badge with the open grille rather than red s with slat grille. Mine has the former, there was a time I thought it was an aftermarket grille but now I think it was just the later series 1's.

Series 2 has the badge on the bonnet instead of grille.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
