I WAS GONNA SAY! I thought you sold it lol
bahahahahha trolololol
misssed a spot =P
struggling to get b18c running....
power going to starter motor but no crank whatsoever.
does anyone know if you need to swap out the ignition lock cylinder with the key for the p72 ecu? wondering if it affects the immobiliser.
what year model is the ECU?
I suspect it's 1997 but I can't be sure. OBD2A.
OBD2a should have immobiliser, is it Australian spec ECU?
Yes AU spec ECU. Will the stock EK1 ignition switch affect the ECU in any way?
My starter motor could just be dead.
OBD2a Aus spec ECU would have immobiliser. Follow ECU-MAN's DIY article to disable the immobiliser
Thanks man. I'll make 100% sure the starter motor is working first but it does look like I'll have to open up the ECU and bypass the immobilizer.Quote:

The picture makes it look much brighter than it actually is.. Still some bright spots, but not as noticeable as it was before & looks 10 times better imo. Very happy with it now.
looks much better ziggy, I like the green, looks like you have hotspots at 100km/h and 2k rpm, you can use paper and/or aluminium foil to redirect the light, ill see if I have pics to help when I get off work this morning.
Not the best, but better than it was

(not finished)
^ paint looks matte... would look pretty sick if you did the whole car..
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...36397186_n.jpg
washed my friends one
If it does look Matt,run some clear over it. Could be the cool weather hurting the paint loL
It's not the first time I've seen the super sonic blue paint look like this....
Any ways my ek is being repaired and painted after being side swiped
Yeah, the paint is matt cause clear coat hadn't been sprayed on yet. Was a cheap short term home job fix to get rid of the old peeling sun damaged roof paint.
white eks are hot.
Heres mine.. still a fair bit of work. Bought a set of wheels for it not too long ago. only fit the rears since it was starting to get a little dark.

Repraying it soon.. Contemplating between Jet black or STI black (Black with gold pearl)
Any suggestions?
So my ek was side swiped
I took it in to get the damage fixed, then thought **** it.
So it's now getting a full respray
super sonic blue.
mmmmm yum
Not something I did to my car today but something that has happened since may when I bought it...

ah ye, you going to get stickers made up?
Yeah, will have stickers done.
I think it look a bits bare without them.
I've got white wheels on my EVO with pink rim tape, so was also looking at that as an option.
ah ye, ye don't really look good without stickers, managed to get 10 on ebay for 20 bucks but that was about 4 months ago, went for a semi matte black
Fail tint attempt. Bubbles and shit

Went for a run and one of the driveshafts popped out, disengaging them both. Was so worried I'd been given a shit gearbox.
Engine is running like a dog and wont rev above 3500 rpm. Just needs a few more sensors plugged in and should be ok.
Ahh, I got told the same thing on my EK about 18 months ago and they'd need replacing soon... but explains the creaks at the back then...Quote:

I think when I do my shock upgrade I'll get all the bushes replaced to tighten everything up once and for all.
Sounds like it's in limp mode.Quote:

Yeah it's rev limited so definitely limp mode. I'll have to start working through all the CEL's if It's still on after I've connected everything and reset the ECU.Quote:

Your EK hose should connect up to an obd2 B18C pump too or any obd2 b-series pump
