hmmmm just read that thread... seems it would suit something like my car if there were enough room in the engine bay and not a road car... but seeing as u said u wanted to use it for track work it would be a good idea... however it looks like it may be quite costly and there for not really applicablet to u.

My tacho is giving me the correct rmp. I didn't have to change anything.. just wired the SR ecu to the same tacho out wire that the RB ran.. IT worked sweet!

I'll be doing a little stereo system install in mine soon i think...

the tach looks like its reading ok but actually you will see its reading low.

congrats cc its time to move on to a different project for me I'm glad the car is going to someone who will appreciate the hard work gone into it. its a great car but the missus was complaining about whip lash etc.

hmm the laurel arrives in a week or so :)

I have an SR cef too

How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking?

my god that would be a beast, engine sits so far back in the engine bay you could almost consider it a mid engined car!

im guessin' its not too shabby in the handling dept?

Thanks Steve I do appreciate it.

On Sunday when we rolled into Sydney I made my mate take it to the car wash.. Washed the bugger down (tried to miss the brakes with the water haha).

Monday spent ALL day.. from about 8am-12am working on it. Ripped the door trims off and prepsol'ed off all the damn glue on the doors. Started to stick my own sound deadener on. I think it was serenity max and a tiny bit of stinger roadkill.

Woke up Tue 6:30 went to work.

Got home as soon as possible 6pm-12am working on it for the stereo - woke up Wed 6:30am now im at work again.. I can..t....kee..p...do..inn.g....th..iiii...s..

mind you I've found 'Recharge by Sprite' a great drink - 66mg of caffeine + guarana :)

I will post pics up and try to write a little how-to to do the install - at the moment I'm not on the pc AT ALL cos working on the car. Will upload pics tonite.

Ahh bugger.. I haven't really looked that hard at it.. How low was it reading?

When the correct tacho shows 2k the dash tacho shows 1k.

When the correct tacho shows 3k the dash tacho shows 1.8k

When the correct tacho shows 4k the dash tacho shows 2.5k (bit more)

Those are approx. and from memory - it's basically a thousand lower at 2000rpm then as the revs increase it becomes more off and off. I think redline according to the dash tacho is about 4-5k ... again im guessing but yea somethin like that.

    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.

    • PROBLEM WAS BROKEN COOLANT SENSOR!!! Replaced with a new one and its running mint.
    • I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
