Hey guys.

I have a problem with my speedo. the kms traveled stoped cliking both the top and the bottom but the speed is still showing and so does everything els, could it be the actual hole speedo shit it self?

Some times it would work for like 15 seconds and thats it. i checked all wires behind it and all is fine there.

im guessing its were its getting its signal from, witch i have no idea were thats from :Oops:

Please help :(

:D

probably because your odometer has been wound back at some point - usually a common sign. I wouldn't worry, most have anyhow.

What you'll probably have to do is take the cluster out, open it up, and replace or fix the odometer part which controls both the odometer and trip. Often it can just be a stripped gear.

Just gotta say that this is a very common problem, and I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't related to "hanky panky" with the odo reading between Jap and Aus.

Mine played up on the way home from buying it at a yard in Sydney. When I fronted them they said that they would get it fixed no worries. I then said that, as I could not trust the odometer reading, they should do the 100K service stuff (timing belt etc) as well.

No worries. Got it done at 67K according to the odo.

Anyone who has bought from a yard and has this happen should do the same. I think you will find that they bend over backwards because of implications of "dodgyness".

If you have imported it yourself, I don't think there is anyone to go to and you gotta fix it yourself (through wreckers etc).

    • It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.
    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup 
    • Is MAF load really that bad? I'm not trying to do big power, my only real desire is VCAM and flex fuel support so I'm not terrified of blowing my engine apart from CA's appalling 95 RON "premium" fuel. Stuff like playing with closed loop boost control and really dialing in my transient fueling and ignition are frankly just to prove to myself I remembered something from uni.
    • Thats what ive been doing. Ive got a million questions but i know theyve probably all been answered before at some stage. Todays research included nismo heritage seat covers, s3 projector headlight retrofits and how to remove/paint the rocker covers
