My Sat Night...... *#%$^!!!


Recommended Posts

Well just to update on my scratch.....

the kids paying me $300 tomorrow night. Although he claims he "didnt scratch my car he only let down the tires", but he wants "this whole thing to go away".

What a load of cr*p! little sh*t. the cop says thats as good as im gonna get without hard evidence. Spose hes right. So im gonna have to fork out the other $400 odd to cover the repair (about $700) grrr! Hopefully get it fixed this week or next.

Also the dad of this kid reckons i keep "driving past their house doing burnouts and making phone calls to them"

........errr get your hand off it mate what good is doing burnouts? Wouldnt waste my time... im not driving a commo! Dickhead.

Also got my wheel fixed .... the locking nut was rounded off but bob jane got it off and replaced them all.

What Twats! I guess this shows us all how pathetic some people can be!

I guess the money is a start from the kid but youre right you shouldn't have to fork out an extra $400 because that little turd decided to be a smart ass one night...are you going to meet him when he gives you the money? Maybe get a signature and address of him when he gives you the money and say you need it as a receipt for the police as I will be claiming more? This might scare him a bit more and also you will have his address.... just incase of that little buggerr if decides to by himself a nice car like yours!! I don't think revenge is the best idea in all circumstances but MAN it can make you feel good! :uh-huh:

MrSnrub,

Have you acutally reported it to the police yet? Make a complaint of vandalism, then after he has been through the process, being interviewed, his mates being interviewed, etc, they may be able to lay charges, then taking your own legal action to recover the monies may not even be necessary.

Another possiblility, go and see one of those 'fee free unless we win' lawyers and go the personal legal action line. You may not need to go to court as quite often the threatening legal letter is quite enough to get results. I think Freidman Laurie Singh do that sort of a deal. Maybe with an appeal to the conciuosness of right and wrong to the guys that witnessed, and heard this dick spruking on about his acomplishments you may have a good case.

Also if the guy is ready to cough up $300 for letting tyres down I reckon he is either as guilty as hell, or one of the most f@cking stupid individuals on the planet.

    • 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.
