Quite possibly a little end bearing which is not as serious. I didn't get a chance to hear it to confirm but I will if I'm up there tomorrow

Thanks.

I've had my doubts on the quality of the rebuild that engine got for a while now...

On a more positive note, I did rub my nuts on the left rear quarter of your car for good luck today. Damn clean car mate, well done!

and I'm not joking, I actually rubbed them on your car.....well, through the shorts.....but damn that fabric is thin so I reckon it's the same

LOL. I'll make sure not to wash that qtr ever again ;).

Thanks though :D it's good to see SOMEONE around here can appreciate a 31 :thumbsup:

I'm suprised it's held together this long, built in a st lucia garage by a bunch of drunks, i wasn't even a qualified mechanic then

pfft, sif nobody appreciates it. that 31 is the reigning sau show and shine champion

31's are all good IMO :D I think I saw yours the other day when I went to drop something off to Whitey... Is yours the white one?

dan, thats like a chick whos had a face lift and butt implants... do not like

if only she had a boob job, it would look great...

lol... Yeah def not something that i would drive but interesting none the less

I am just counting down till 1pm. Have a meeting, which is the only real bit of work I get to do today.

Until then, surfing the net, and playing on my iphone.

I'll take your shroom ;-)

If you do want it, I can probably grab it off Dave and bring it for you on Thursday. Save you a trip.

Still have shroom if you need it. ;)

    • 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.
