No it's not, I was getting chased by highway patrol through Campbellfield industrials just before

Just made set of lights so he couldn't go through, there were cops everywhere

Just minding your own business in an industrial area hey Nick?

:ninja:

Tax return?

Might have to do the same thing Birds, I don't think the sensor fuel lines are big enough though, does it have to plumb into the main fuel feed or is a secondary return line enough?

Not that I don't believe you were getting chased, but why would a cop car let a set of lights stop them from getting you? Last guy who got me went through 4 reds to pull me over for a "random" inspection*.

*later told me he'd spent the whole afternoon pulling over anything with four round tail lights, including Pat's 32.

Haha he was one of the better cops. Just told me to drop into vicroads to get the wheels inspected. Told me to throw on some stockies. No fine or Rwc required.

The one who EPA'd me is another story...

Should be fine for flow, they don't look any smaller than fuel filter lines. If all you're using it for is to get a content reading, you could mount it anywhere in the fuel system. Most stick it in the return line, straight after rail; guess the less flow restriction you have going to the fuel rail, the better. Haltech have their own sensor which is more "inline" and having the same signal voltage, should also be compatible with the Zeitronix ECA:

and if it doesnt go ahead im just gonna put it up.

im over japan now.

i actually do want a ford.

I've found most 'JDM' owners go ford after getting over the jap cars

I was considering an evo, just the 4 cycl thing put me off :P also wouldn't really be any better cop wise

Get a tuned ford and you can have super fun times without the cop trouble, they handle better than you'd think - big cars for parking though

i'm done too... it's EVO time as soon as the boat sells

man i'm gonna miss going sailing though :/

i'll probably put it up in a week when i know how my job interview goes :D

another interview? within nab?

good luck bud. and nah just want to keep away from turbo and all of that shiz in general

man no more modding for me. time to grow up and start investing instead of bunching the money up and throwing it at a bin.

probably just the later model ford. or just anything normal realy and not so modified. even the beamers have come a heap down in price.

    • You will need to extend the turbo inlet pipe somehow, which could/might be done with silicone/rubber pipe, but might need steelwork, depending on your intake. And you will need to change the pipework on the outlet in teh same way, but this is more likely to need steelwork.
    • I see... Any idea how much fab work is required? I note the Hygear megathread but its like 900 pages
    • I should try the experiment you're talking about, the throttle switch is still there carried over from the R32 and it's still all wired up but after I did the whole intake manifold refurb and had to recalibrate the TPS I managed to somehow get the idle switch reporting activation at 0.22V, then when I adjusted it to 0.45V for idle it decided the engine was permanently no longer idling which caused some very weird behavior, closed loop idle was disabled so it would basically be at the whims of the cold start valve and whatever the base timing table was at. Then just unplugging/replugging the TPS with the ECU live caused it to relearn the idle TPS position and decide 0.45V was idle. Presumably there's nothing in the TPS that allows for the throttle switch to "recalibrate" like that, not easily at least.
    • Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...  
    • Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.
