Yeah, but people keep throwing up 200hp figures for the Paul Newman which is bs... if that has 200hp my fj20 must have 300hp lol

Careful Adam,

You might be accused of being blasfamous, after all, my Paul Newman has a lot more than 200. LOL

Adam,

I think they quick, just depends on the comparison.

My mates in Adelaide tell me there is a Paul Newman down there, that after caning it's ass off, it does 15's at the 1/4.

Hold that thought for a moment, 15.??? second 1/4 time and have some consideration for our own aussie muscle. The 5.7 litre Monaro only manages 17's for the 1/4, off the shelf.

Compared to that! the Paul Newman is pretty quick eh!!!

Sams IS the Adelaide Paul Newman, its standard apart from a turbo that is apparently a "triple hybrid", filter and exhaust. Its bloody clean though, and it sounds sweet, but its slow. Sam reckoned that my car was noticably faster when he went in it... which is when it had a huge boost leak. And now that mine doesnt have a leak, its much quicker

How many are there in Australia now? When Ivan was advertising his he said there was only three... his, Pauls (now Sams) and another one that was in either Sydney or Melbourne

I still doubt that the Newmans had 200hp standard, or even much more than 145.

Shit, my Charade GTti must have been a monster... stock except for the exhaust it ran a 16.7 (granny launched... just drove it normally (ie sloooowly) off the line) but at 85mph lol

BTW Sam lives in the house behind mine :D

i think you'll find that the ones ghostrider and i are talking of are not STANDARD and you are on the mark with your stock power figures give or take! :D

you might be able to answer a question though! were the paul neumans released in 2 or 4 door version as my mates is a 4 door and he seem to think they were only ever released in the 4 door version??

hey all...i just bought a r30 hatch for $200....im gunna stick the motor/box(5speed) into my 1.2litre 2wd hilux.......can the ecu be modded or do i have to buy an aftermarket computer? i want to put headers and a cam in it.....btw the motor and box are A1

oh....bummer...how far can u go with these motors before needing to change the ecu? im guessing head work and pipes is about it?

if anyone read the ZOOM engine review then according to them the ECU can be played with?? but i think the problen is finding someone that has bothered with these engines here in OZ.

the trouble with the vane airflow meters, well in my mates case was that they flip wide open under boost and go to 9:1 A/F ratio.

thats why you see so many pulsar Et's blowing chaff

i think from memory you can basically adjust idle, mid and high mixtures

took my car to work with me on saturday, i know the trouble i could have been in, 40k round trip, all and all she went like a dream, one miner problem, no indicators!! it was something i had to do and was not disapointed!!

Fun arent they :)

I drive mine the looooong way to uni, go up through and across the hills instead of just cutting across town.. only takes 5 minutes longer, and its a hell of a lot more fun :evil

the thing is with mine its unregistered and i'm running an rb20det so its fun and illegal!! :sadam:

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
