spent saturday down hobart helping frenchie out with his bus at the round 3 drift day was a good day besides small miss hap that ended the day but the day gave me a boost to do a bit of work on mine today as im still waiting for wiring to get down before it can go back to have the tune finished :down: so just done some fiddly things started fixing a dicky power window and after taking the door trim off found the car had the intrusion bar cut out and a large rhs frame welded in to the door like a heavy duty crash bar or something super strange and have no idea why its been done as the doors have had no repairs or new skin welded to it

damo come done last of the wiring on saturday air temp sensor in earth for the ecu fixed power steering fixed heap of wires cleaned up and neatened and is going back in to have the tune finalised this week and some actually good power figures will be up soon the kfs and going in tomorrow to have tyres changed over and try to get them back on and ply with camber and what not to make them fit ready for tune

well not the best news.. after having the wiring issues fixed on the ecu what we thought was a bad earth that was making the sensors (tps,water temp) gitter and making the motor run super rich i then took the laurel back to the tuner (boost automotive) car had to stay there for a day or 2 as he had to tune the cold start and finalise everything else got a text the next morning and was told the car is still not right and is still all over the place as you can imagine i wasn't after stuffing around with the car for so long and and this ecu so that night wiring mate (DJRIFT) went back through the wiring trying to find a bad earth or bad anything started to think as the ems runs off the ome ecu some of the sensors may of been doubled up and that was making things gitter and go all over the place fixed a few wires sent it back there the next morning still no go better but still no go so this weekend we went back over everything with a borrowed laptop to see if we could get it to work we really went through everything tested every wire and every ground nothing we could do seemed to fix the gitter :( we pull the ems out to check the ecu its self we found what may be sign of water damage and to the computer its self so in the end we have out it down to that the ems ecu has shit its self pretty much from water damage or just from age or bad luck and have now been set back more with having to buy a new computer and im not going to put a cheap half ass computer in it im looking at a haltech platinum pro unsure just sad on the hole car at the moment waaaaa :down:

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
