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 :)

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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
