You looked nothing like your picture and forgot the matchsticks. How good is cobra. Until they destroy the moon disc mercury. I'd assume you fixed the car. "they are the disease your the cure" classic 80s cinema with montages!



Huh ? What what what ? lol I don't understand or never heard this songs lyrics before [emoji28][emoji28][emoji28]

The picture in the circle is from the 1980s film cobra. It's Sylvester Stallone he's a Italian tough guy cop. Who always wears his ray Ban aviators. There is a cult murdering people in the city. He always has a matchstick circling in the mouth because it's tough or something? The star of the show is a Ford mercury with moon disc hubcaps and a B&M mega shifter. It gets destroyed on a chase through San Francisco. "They are the disease, he is the cure." it's funny watching the chase scenes you would swear the Ford mercury coup has about 12 gears. If you get bored watch it. Should I say if you ever have 2 hours to spare watch it. The mercury is a beast!

Lol nah we don't want yellow stickers [emoji23]

That's who is in Manne profile picture!

I found a fully rusted out one about 16yrs ago in Darkan near Williams as a barn find. It was going for $8000.00 firm but having not long built the house and shifting jobs couldn't afford it and the old farmer refused to sell it to me for $5000.00 was a shame it's one of my ultimate cars I wished to own. Bummer :'(

It would have seriously tested my sheet metal skills at the time. Would be confident to take it on now with 30yrs experience. Would have could have should have.

Nah watching mkr waiting for the Indian ladies to fail cant believe they got to the final only cooking Indian foods????

Absolutely love Indian food but made myself a chicken ceaser salad for dinner. Deliciousness
Well ur there, so someone is there [emoji23]

Wow your a animal. I'm a member down at bayswater waves. Have been lazy for about 3 months and skipped the gym and pool then back injury again. I was feeling a bit sorry for myself in the hydrotherapy pool, there was a girl in there about 8yrs old with a smile on her face trying her hardest struggling in the pool. I was thinking good on her for being overweight and excersizeing in the pool. Then they put her in the wheelchair. Puts things back into perspective. Have been at the pool 5 days a week to get back on track. I felt so selfish, angry because I was back in the hydrotherapy pool struggling with my back and there was a beautiful child with a big smile on her face who would never be able to walk again. Never feel sorry for yourself. Make the best of what you have.

Ahahah, What? I don't look like Stallone? :( .

Nah, that movie is just the bomb, it's such a cheesy over the top movie, but I can't help but watch it. So many good one-liners too.

    • 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.
