Hi guys.

Been lurking around the forums for a while but haven't contributed much due to not having a skyline any more but I am getting the urge again!

I currently have a late 2005 BA MKii boss 260 XR8 ute 6 speed manual for sale. It is my daily and I am in real estate so I use it alot each day, hence the mileage and price

I am looking for a sale or a trade into for a skyline/supra (cash my way if needed). let me know what you have gents!

State : NSW

Make of vehicle : ford

Model of vehicle : BA MKii XR8

Year of manufacture : 2005/06

Colour of vehicle : silver

Engine : 5.4

Transmission : manual

Body style (sedan, wagon etc.) :Ute

Selling Price $ : 16000

Odometer Reading : 173000

*******************************************************************

Completely stock car. I purchased this from Ford a little under 2 years ago and it has been my daily drive for work since. Its had full service history by ford until I purchased and I have been doing servicing myself. ( qualified mechanic)

I decided to have the latest major service done with pink slip at the same time at the local garage.

Few minor marks/stonechips on the bodywork and a slight dent/mark on the passenger wing, which I suspect was from a cb aerial of some description. It was there when I purchased the car.

Comes with rego and RWC until June 2012 . Car drives straight and true but with typical ford knocks on the drivetrain.

Had a new ECU approx a year ago by ford due to the old one flexing when hot causing the car to shut down.

It has recently started to rattle due to timing chain guides wearing as they are made from plastic. This is a very common problem with BA engines and they all do it prior to '06. I will be replacing these with metal items as soon as they get here from the states.

    • 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.
