pics or it never happened.

For the millionth time :D

Just waiting on the new tie rod bits to arrive so I can sort out that nasty positive camber on the rear/left wheel.

Then I can put on my coilovers and dump the bitch :)

will look good when its slammed

Yep :) I'll have coilovers and suspension bits and pieces by this Thursday so hopefully I get it slammed for the weekend :D

And then one day I'll put the bodykit on... or sell it lol

john deere approved? :)

True. Circuit is incomplete.

legend thanks.

where do you kunce get all this cash from to be just buying coilovers and suspension bits and wheels and shit? mostly directed at jezza

i reckon! doesnt get easier with a full time job either! Im worse off than when I was a casual employee whilst studying! haha

Dead computer, insurance, rego & car ontop. Zzzz

Zergling rush! :)

i had way more spare dosh when I was at uni to mod my car. now it's all spent on women, toys/gadgets, drugs, mortgage, a dog, parking fines and holidays. in uni i worked part time and spent almost all of it on rent and modding the car.

i think its more after you get a fulltime job you realise there's more to life cos you got more money to spend.

Full time work. $650 after tax per week for 3 years straight = over $100k clear (obviously I only saved like 10% of that lol).

I also cut a lot of costs. Like what I'm wearing now = $4 shirt, $14 shoes :) None of that brand name shit.

i feel your fulltime student pain mang. i work like a bitch and save heaps (no smokes or drugs, don't booze much etc)

hopefully i don't realise what other cool shit there is to buy when i hit the workforce. either that or i crack into a decent law firm and clean up :)

    • 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.
