Hey,

I just started up the R33 tonight to keep the battery charged as I'm not driving it very often lately and i noticed something different..

The car has installed a pivot shift light - pen style one mounted on the steering column.. previously it would turn on around 6500rpm odd - which is perfect..

However, tonight the light turned on whenever over 3000rpm. I could confirm this by looking at the RSM. This is really strange and only just started happening tonight :D

On the weekend I had to jump start the car as I hadn't started it for 2 weeks and the battery had gone flat.. too flat for even the alarm to work.. I would have thought, if anything, this would have something to do with it.. however it was fine immediately after jump starting the car.

How do you adjust these and how could it adjust itself somehow??

Any info be most appreciated, thanks!

hmms. stupid question.. where/how do you adjust it.. there appears to be nothing on the actual light to change.. just a cable running under the speedo area.. must there be another box hiding under there?

Any ideas why it was fine after getting the car started again.. and now its not.. very strange ..

Okay, just so I dont look so completely useless..

I printed out the RSM manual from the apexi usa site and had a good look through. Found the settings and so on and figured it all out.. Is quite easy really isnt it - just paniced because I thought something could be wrong with my baby :D

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
