pva glue.

It still could be instrumental. Get it checked out and stop being a tight ass LOL. No honestly the readings are taken off the coil. Could be faulty wiring or connections or the tacho itself. get it check out by a mechanic or auto electrician.

good luck friend. :P

:( I had a similar problem and got auto repair after repair to hunt down the wiring, checked all the engine managment and sensor and was fine. Adventually I got of my ASS and replaced the Tacho all fixed, mind you the Tacho wasn't cheap!
Where is Tacometer sensor is located?

I think mine is bit out of scale...:D

cheers

There isn't a 'Tacometer[sic] sensor' as such, the ECU gets the angle of rotation of the camshaft from the CAS (Cam Angle Sensor), from this it can calculate the speed of rotation of the crankshaft, and using this generates a negative pulse for every rotation of the crank.

This pulse is the signal on pin 7 of the ecu, and that is what the rev counter uses.

Sounds to me like a problem with the rev counter instrument itself or the wiring between the ecu and instrument cluster, as there is very little that could go wrong with the ECU.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
