Sloppy and clunking at the home position? Or the OP problem?

Thanks guys I'll have a play this weekend I think.

Interesting. The can seems a little more tricky than expected then. Closed loop cam control should be easy with the 1280. Throttle is of concern but with some failsafe logic and hardware like Scott mentioned very possible. Want to pm me a phone number Scott, I'll give you a call when you are free.

Can is can so hopefully that side of things is OK. Auto will be the big thing.

I don't want to butcher a working ecu if I don't have to. If any ecu can go full stand alone, it is the 1280. There is a lot to output I think. I'll keep an eye out on ebay but was hoping for a easy find.

Hi guys! I've got an itch to develop a plugin for my M35 2.5DET. It will use an Adaptronic 1280 ECU and a patch harness. The ecu selection will be because I'm pretty familiar with Adaptronic's now days, and also because the 1280 has an unlimited scope for programming auxillary outputs. This can be used to drive the auto ecu, dash stuff and anything else required. The 1280 is fairly special in it's function block approach to aux programming. Hardware wise, I will need a ECU (can be damaged I only need the plug/internal pins). Instead of plugging the stock ECU in, it will have the plug and then wiring off to 1280 instead. I will develop a loom and tune while retaining all the standard functions of the stock ECU. While I am there I will create a detailed pinout of the ECU as well as a value table for each pin (voltages, signal etc) Does anyone have a broken ECU laying around, or knowledge of where the plugs are available from? Can someone clarify if I can use any 3.5/2.5L ECU, they should have the pins just no internals if the pin is un-utilised for that model. Cheers, Jase

Brisbane Scott, which is a shame! Is the bush an available part, or will I have to make something up?

Thread dig, but very relevant. I have a similar problem, and possibly the same cause. When the wiper changes direction at the bottom of it's travel there is a clunk. Shifting the wiper myself lets me move it about 100mm at the tip. I expect there is a linkage or the above mentioned bush flogged out somewhere giving the joint play. Any guides or information on removing the assembly from under the plastic cover?

Oh, thanks for the info by the way, much appreciated

6,000km 3 month services? WTF?

Hi guys, Is there any information available for these cars regarding the servicing? Vehicle in question is a AR-X Four 2003 VQ25 I am looking for the chart of KM's/Time vs components to service. Typically it looks like the picture below, but with pages and pages of serviceable items. Items to service would include brake flush, coolant, oil, air filter, timing belt, brake pads, bushings, shocks etc.

Sold!!!!!!!!!

No one interested in a swap even? Moving houses soon and need a wagon or ute!

It has papers and engineering for NSW if that is any help? Perhaps there is an interstate agreement? Happy to travel half way and visit friends in Sydney

Interested in swapping for a Stagea or another wagon like Legnums.

9K 8.5K as is, or for interstate buyers who won't need RWC.
