DAMN FORD!!! they ruined my dreams!!!


Recommended Posts

:P

no i didnt get owned by a ford.

about 2 weeks ago (before i found out i was gonna get a free respray) i had a dream... in this dream i was me and and the grass was green.

in this dream i had a car... symbolically the car looked nothing like a skyline but it "was" :D

in this dream i decided my car needed a respray and as such dipped into my pot of dream gold and and got my car resprayed...

in this dream i had a dream about the colour i wanted... this colour was like non i had seen before and very different... an orange colour... very bright... fluro even... not like ur everyday orange... almost like agent orange but not... not really metalic... and what looked like a white pearl through it... i had never seen this colour before on a car....

UNTIL I SEEN THESE!!!!!!

mofos...

lol chinny

yeah im going to do my bro in laws bosses website and geta respray out of it... i want this colour but i dont know if i will be able to get a respray in this colour... i might leave the engine bay black and have a few bits on the kit black too... make it look like its meant to be like that hahaha

you know what the biggest bitch about buying a car that you dont know the paint code of. The fact that when you wanna change the front bar, put some skirts on, or if just have an accident, the paint always comes out a shade different.

i bought my car (see avatar), and the colour matching for the spoiler when i had to get a new one cause it broke, was not spot on. the mixture the guy made up for the paint is unknown. It sometimes looks a bit yellowy/greeny when the sun is setting.

yeah but thats cause he doesnt have a paint code... i have a paintcode ;) and yellow is a C$%^ of a colour anyway... we always had trouble mixing yellows to be the same even with a paintcode (i used to be a panelbeater/paint prep)

website for a respray..... SCORE!!!!!!!! shit, wanna pass on any other websites?? i could do with some extra money for the Skyline Saver (yes that's the name i called my IGN account, got a problem! ;):)) - or if ya need any design help ni, i'd be happy to lend a hand. Not very good at the coding/behind the scenes stuff.

ah dude... SCORE!!!

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @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.
