Thanks Trevor, as an electrical engineer it doesn't look good to me either, lol. I was hoping someone with a little RPX experience would chime in with a "we do it all the time, no problem gov". Ƕ...

I was able to work out a way to use a typical American V8 engine stand to fit my RPB. The question I have is if the case can handle the weight like this. Any thoughts? Attachment : UNADJUSTEDNON...

Thanks Nikki! I'll definitely get one of those on order.

@nick02 In my case, the car had two (in effect) harnesses. One for the ECU, one for the dash. It was a 2007 SR8, chassis 42. Every bit of data displayed and recorded on the MXL Pista dash came from de...

Hey Nikki, fair enough, though my 2007 SR8 had two TPS sensors and was open loop. Charley: this seems like a great “ask Phil” question: What was the evolution of the GCUs through the years?

@Gobble Matt can really help you get this fixed. I've wired two different AiM dashes with Matt's help: an MXL Pista and an MXS Strada with Strada logger. Connecting the ECM CAN bus data in a 2008 MY t...

I had a recent case where some of the bolts had to be broken to be removed to fit a new rotor. I'd guess that's a common occurrence... so the bolt kit seems like an ordinary maintenance item.

Yes, the best way to know if your car is closed loop is to follow the gearbox gear position sensor wiring. If the sensor only goes to the gear position display, then the car is definitely open loop. I...

I bought a few things from SM earlier this week myself.

Thanks John -- Smartycam is all I needed to know. thanks!

@johnannz Thanks -- I use a Mac most of the time too, so that sounds promising. How did you get the data displayed on the video?

Thanks for sharing! Do you mind telling us your video / editing / publishing setup?

My 09 SR8 is back on the lift... engine is coming out for oil leak repair and maybe a DIY engine refresh. But that's a separate thread. I've been asked a few times what I I use for lift points, so th...

Thanks Charley. About tolerance for pinion depth, Quaife won't say. It's a bit frustrating, really. Next is setting up the carrier bearing preload, pattern, and backlash. Hopefully I can get those int...

I made this video about a way to set and verify the pinion depth of SR5 and SR8 gearboxes (the Quaife Q58 and Q72 boxes repackaged by PowerTec). Maybe it will help someone... 🙂 I'm working on the sequ...
