Hello guys. I am new to this website today. I have searched everywhere on the internet. I am good with car wiring, and I have 1 last issue I need to resolve on my ECR33 1994. I have used NDS I and the cable to find and repair an issue successfully. Everything in the car works (except for HICAS; it is being deleted today using GKtech parts). I have noticed when I unplug the HICAS ECU that steering gets hard, so I left it plugged in. Anyway, that's not my issue. My speed reading in NDS I does NOT work (reads 0 kph) however it works on my cluster. I have read that there is a signal from the cluster to ECU. I want to short test this wire to make sure it is not broken but I don't have the means of identification (diagram). Can someone help me identifying the wire from cluster to ECU? Maybe previous owner cut this wire to remove speed cut or something. Thanks

It was extremely common to cut the wire from the dash to pin 53 at the ECU to remove the speed limit, and it doesn't affect how the car runs.

The R33 pin outs should be available by searching on these forums if you want to check

Duncan, I am looking at ECU Pinout and its says 53 is VSS not 52. but I havent found a good copy of cluster diagram so I can start tracing

In my experience it affects idle, it definitely uses the VSS signal to raise the idle target and adjust the open loop AAC duty cycle or something like that. If you push the clutch in while moving it will idle closer to 1200 rpm before very slowly dropping down to 950 rpm. More often than not you need to get it into neutral and make sure the neutral switch actually triggers by wiggling the shifter in neutral before it'll finally decide to drop the idle down.

    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
    • Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
    • appreciated it thanks   There are threads on the adaptor. I rear re anodising but didn’t know it will reduce strength   re mating services needing to be flat/ not painted, why would that be? I am devastated as car been off for a year, fixed power steering then installed bm57 master cylinder and just before driving it this came up. So annoyed   worried and afraid to drive it, no fun caliper coming off    
    • Just report the OP (via the 3 dots menu at the top right of post) and request deletion.
