More misinformation man...

I can change my RacePace tune myself and have done so...while driving out on the road. You can mess with the fuel cells if you really want to. You say a laptop is better...great...I have that with the PFC, I can data log and tune with it why are you saying you can't? Besides that, no, I haven't actually had a strange miss...my tune is awesome cause I paid a professional to set it up for me.

My car feels like a factory tune, perfectly so. It's what I paid Chris to do for me.

You're going OCD on ECUs and blaming the PFC for having shortcomings it doesn't actually have.

I'm saying I use the features things better than the PFC have. Your tune "feels" right but there's no way you can perfectly setup a car in a few hours, ever. You can get 90% which is good enough for 99.9% of situations, but not 100%. I change fuel cells all the time (well not all the time, but certainly have in the past after changes are made, on a different mixture of 98/e85 which wasn't done on the dyno, etc.)

How are you gonna know if an injector is slightly failing? Fuel pump is starting to let go? Fuel filter is clogged? You may not care but I sure do and I have that ability. You won't know till you melt a piston. Maybe your components will never fail. Run 2 pumps and ONE dies? Oil temp too high, water temp too high when you're out on track and not *really* looking at Gauges because looking elsewhere? Oil pressure starting to get a bit thin at high RPM? etc.

Logging is great, but automatic logging to the device AFTER the thing you wanted to log has already happened (i.e, don't have to turn on logging first and then go test something) is a godsend.

The powerFC enables you to change fuel maps and timing to allow for mods. For a setup like yours Birds, it's enough, and it does what it does, well. But once you use more than that or think "that'd be useful..." you would never go back to one.

All three men are perceived to be of African appearance.Their car appeared to be lowered and sounded as though it had a turbo engine.

Where you putting it in storage? Anywhere I can slot in a car? Will pay monies

you know russman? he got storage in ringwood. dont cost much. 

 

 

 

lowered and turbo engine? racist.

oh, falcon G6E turbo........ unpatriotic

Birds, Moh and Borci all got GTR's.... odie, greg, johnno, pat all got skylines. only one evo around, and its pretty much for sale. 

Balance has been brought to VWL. now just need balance to return to oil prices.

 

Birds, use 88E profits to make your GTR look better (offsets arent the strongest, but dat dish. also a bargain for classic 5 spoke wheels. mental money for OZ or Koenings):

were like the A team, But really gay and soft.


we should do a vwl bbq, seriously.
my mate rogercordia will come too

 

I'm not certain that kinkstah is the same guy who's car is never on the road, and when it is, something dies or is about to die... What I am certain of is that there is a thread somewhere on this forum, dedicated specifically for people to discuss their cars more than they drive them.

Go there

Birds brah, https://csgosquad.com/ranks 

We need 3 more for VWL cs:go team, who is 'the l337 pwn3rs' here? 

Yeah I've seen that rank distribution. It's garbage tho, proved that last night top fragging deathmatch even if you weren't trying. Will create a smurf account either for you to level up or for you to play in my rank and help boost lol

Respawn LAN end of October. Form a 5 man team. I can shoot things but I'm useless compared to the veterans.
Need to reclaim my title on Wreckfest and asetta corsa.


My friend has started a website for oz teams looking for members: www.rekruitable.com

Already have rarish wheels sorted, a mate is holding onto them for me...no point buying until car is done.

88E profits have gone into house savings. Bout time I grew up and bought one lol

    • @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.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
