Exhaust sounds great, nice rumble on idle and not too loud up top. Will see what it sounds like when front and dumps are swapped out. Uploaded a video clip of exhaust sound on YouTube

Can't seem to attach it here.

That does sound great mate.

After 3 years I finally re-installed the tailgate linings on the 25g and the RS4. I had tried to fit an electric tailgate closer to the 25G but could not get it to work.

Tomoz I start on the electrics or the RS4. Air con condensor fan needs rewiring, dash panel to be replaced and A/M gauge cluster lights need fixing.

They say a dying candle burns brightestLOL

found the issue to all my problems yesterday

DSC_0138.jpg

water damage in the oem to f-con harness.

spent a solid few hours giving it a clean with contact cleaner and earbuds.

Gave the ecu a reset and in for the first time in months i have clear dash with no engine light :yes:

And also scored a HKS F-con Navigator pro , which i installed at the same time

What does it do? Give you info or can you make changes to your tune?

25g? Damn I've always wanted the auto tailgate.

Did the timing belt (turns out it is from a Volkswagon Passat), water pump, cam and oil pump seals, idler and tensioner bearings for the second time (the engine has about 180,000klm on it now). It does use a bit of oil by now, the head in particular was not reco-ed when the rb30 was built so it has 300,000klm+ on it.

Then loaded the kids into the back took it for a leisurely drive up to queensland for a week away. It's thirsty and noisey with that exhaust, but it didn't miss a beat all trip

Did you get to Mt Tamborine??

25g? Damn I've always wanted the auto tailgate.

Where the harness comes into the tailgate on the RHS there is a feed wire missing going into the loom. I dont know where this feed wire comes from.

Would love to get a wiring diagram.

I've been trying to find it again... I found a workshop manual on yahooauctions. I think there is one in someone's Dropbox?

Shouldn't be too hard to decode if you start with the headings and work your way down.

actually I took poetic license because I only made it to murwullimbah/tweed heads (figured that was close enough :P)

but i'll call you for a beer next time I'm in town :)

I think it has the ability to select sub maps, which is relative to the main maps.

​it displays a lot of outputs which are correct as its straight from the f-con and the screen can have a choice of showing 2-5-7-10 parameters on the screen

Took the dash instrument cluster out of the Dayz and fitted it to the RS4. Seems to have fixed the problem. Time will tell.

Next prob is getting the aux gauge lights working. I am no auto sparkie and I think I toasted a fuse somewhere.

Just getting back to the instrument cluster, it was quite easy to remove and replace. Used a large mirror to see where all the screws were.

Was glad of the DIY's today. Could not remember how to get to the back of the radio. What a mess I put in there 5 or 6 years ago. Anyway all looks good now. All gauge lights will be working tomorrow. Then on to the aircon condenser fan.

Put on some clear side indicators. They were to suit a pathfinder. Not quite as low profile as the originals bit still look way better than faded orange.. painted the rear impuls black last week then the mrs wanted to go for a drive to kuitpo now its way too cold to paint the front two and she was the one who gouged them up to make me want to paint them :s Also put in some new rear speakers today as the old ones had passed on. 6.5" fit nicely with a small bit of trimming to the plastic bit around the magnet. Just need a radio with frequencies that stops preaching the son of rajab to me haha

Threw my new LED reversing lights in today; BIG difference.

These are the ones I bought.

Also gave the headlights a good clean & seal with some Juice sealer. Wish I could still get this stuff.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
