I'd be solidly up shit creek without my phone. All my work contacts, staff phone numbers, friends, family etc are in the phone. I couldn't even tell you the phone number of the pub off of the top of my head, I'd have to look it up. I have about three numbers memorised and they are all family. My last girl friend cracked the shits with me because I couldn't remember her phone number.

Anyone got a spare telstra compatible phone they could lend me?

I had 2 of them till some shitcarnt came in to the house one night and flogged them

Morning Mangs,

Sucks about your phone Martin. I'm useless without my phone. Glorious weather today lol glad I've got the car. I think I'm paranoid about the car at the moment but I keep hearing weird noises and the turbos sound a lot louder than normal. More pronounced whistle coming from them. Definitely need to get it booked in with Dan ASAP.

I swear to god the universe has it in for me right now. Only day off work this week and I'm going to work...

After work I get to move house (finally) and of course it's raining.

However, ribs and meeting tonight make me happy! See you mangs there!

Holla

German Club soon.

Morning Mangs,

Thanks Noel!

@Col: Big end for sure.

Do turbos whistle louder when they're on the way out?

Holla

Olla

Do you think paranoid people are following you also??

P.S. knock, knock.....

who's there?

BIG END!

Ribs, beer and Ike Creams. nice.

Got your phone martin. cya after the exec meeting.

I read that as I got your phone Martian.

/\ This man, he speaketh the truth.

Do turbos whistle louder when they're on the way out?

We can play the sound game again. What sort of noise does it make? Can you describe it in letters and words that make no sense?

Sqeak, whistle, scrape, whine, etc?

Does it sound like one of Kenworth's finest at idle? If so, your trunk monkey fitted a HX35 with adjustable nozzle, while you were sleeping...in Seattle.

P.S. See what I did there :ph34r:

    • 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.
