If I'm doing a static burnout, the accelerometer shouldn't recognise any g forces apart from some slight vibration...

If I'm rolling along at 60 on a rough road, it'll also not detect any g forces apart from slight vibrations...

Unless I'm missing something, Accelerometers can't detect speed, so how would it know if its doing a burnout?

Sorry, thought we were talking about going off road. Yes, detecting a burnout is a current issue I'm having. To an extent, accelerometers can detect speed. Acceleration (Gs or m/s^2) over time (seconds) will give you speed (m/s off the top of my head). When I do testing I'll have to see what the reading differences are like between say a burnout, and simply revving the motor. But since the accelerometer can detect acceleration and deceleration you can see if the car is static.

So, knowing that, we can possibly recognize if someone is doing a burnout. We take into consideration whether the car is static (making sure that acceleration and deceleration are equivalent - hence the car is stationary.) and if the car is static and there's a large amount of vibrations, it is possible that you're doing a burnout. Again, need to compare revving the engine to a burnout and see how clear the difference is between them.

yeah Accelerometers are accurate over very short periods of time, but not for car movement, even with a good quality high resolution 3-axis one. Too many variables... bumps, hills, etc...Even the most amazingly complex math in the world can't overcome that without additional assistance from a quality GPS signal or an ECU speed input...

ECU is just not feasible, end of story. I can't do anything about that, I'd love to use it, trust me, but I can't. GPS will be there.

Do you perhaps have ideas for other sensors?

Again, it would be awesome to tap into the ECU, but there's no way I can create comms systems for every bloody model out there.

Mandatory penalties are bullshit.

Murderers still get their day in court and judges are able to apply discretion, yet a victimless crime gets a set punishment regardless of degree.

People busted speeding should receive a penalty appropriate to the "crime"".

If I could delete your post I would. This isn't a discussion concerning whether we believe in the types of punishments currently in place, so I'd ask you to refrain from trying to create such an argument.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
