Fair point. All systems have a 2 year warranty so I'll give it a few months and then chase up.

Just noting the outcome of the stall issue I had with RLTC for the benefit of anyone who encounters the problem in the future. It turns out that the issue I had was the same as Shaun's (DS8). I have spoken to Mike Broadbent about the issue and confirmed this. Essentially, as Shaun mentioned, there is a bug in the software on the Digi Adjuster. When stationery, turning the %age up on the digi adjuster may cause launch control to activate when it hits the 19%+ range. Being an auto, I had the rev limit on launch set to zero as I didn't anticipate using launch. Therefore when activated (unintentionally), the car stalls. Similarly, if you set the rev limit to 2000 on launch, you will be unable to rev over this limit. The short-term solution is to set the rev limit to 10000 and then you will have no issue. What if you have the limit set to 2000 and you accidently turn up the digi adjuster while driving; isn't that dangerous? Because launch cannot activate when wheel speeds are registered, this situation will not arise. (I have to confirm this). Long-term solution - as per Shaun (and Mike Broadbent), a software solution is being developed. As an aside, the ABS wiring that I encountered on the VVTi was different to that which has been posted up previously (22 pin plug, not 26) which I will post up separately.

A quick note to say a massive thanks to Emin for my blue dash conversion and RLTC installation. A very reliable guy who came to me and the dash looks great (pics to follow...). Also, when we put the heater panel back, one of the switches (not touched in the LED conversion) no longer worked so Emin came straight back the next evening and replaced it with one of his own. Much appreciated to have someone so helpful and willing to sort out any probs. As you may have seen from my other thread,(http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=70087) I am having some teething problems with the RLTC which seem to be software issues but Emin has nevertheless spoken to me yesterday evening and this evening to see how I'm getting on with this. So thanks Emin and I highly recommend him (aka supra TT myster). Nick

OK, so it does not matter what revs the engine is at, it cuts when I get to 22%. Interestingly, however, if I start the engine up with the digi adjuster at 22% there is no problem. And I can start it up at 25% and wind it down with no problem.... With DS8's advice I have had a play with the launch control this evening. First thing I noticed was that turning it on stalls the engine. This is because the revs limit on launch control is set to zero as, being auto, I will not be using it (admit I don't actually know what it is). So I tried increasing the revs limit on it to 2000 and .... what do you know .... the engine no longer stalls when I hit 22%. So it's partially solved, but I wonder what happens if I turn the % to 22 when I'm driving with the revs over 2000 etc etc Any thoughts/experience appreciated as ever.

How do you slide it over the fuel and temp gauge when the needles are pointing in different directions?

Cool - thanks - will try this too. What did you do to resolve? Have you just disabled launch and if so how? Cheers, Nick

Thanks again... yup - whenever it happens I have to switch off an restart, although I only have a manual turbo timer(!). In sum it seems that everything else is functioning as expected ie engine cuts, wheel speed reading and rpm reading. I'm not getting any revs change when I change the digi adjuster - just a cut at 22%... I'm going to try switching launch control on/off tonight and in addition I will hook the laptop up and run some realtime graphs when stationery and when moving to see if this sheds any light on the problem. As above, Martin has had this happen once before and although he can't pinpoint what it was he's pretty sure it wasn't the hardware.

Thanks for the help, and also a massive thanks to Phil (Terminator) and Martin at mkivstore who have also been helping me. Martin reassuringly has had this happen once before. The other symptom which I can't remember if I have already mentioned is that once stalled the engine won't restart without taking the key out. If I have the digi adjuster does that mean I have launch control? Had ignored it as I have an auto (tip). And would that turn on itself or do I have to turn it off manually. Also, not sure what you mean exactly by hunting up and down the rev range....? Once again thank you for the assistance, Nick

Emin fitted it. Phil is currently trying to help me. Everything else seems to operate as I think it should... When jacked up the rear wheels will not spin over a certain speed... the engine misfires. When I do the test cut the engine misfires. When we tested the individual wheels jacked up yesterday they all registered. The RPM registers fine on the real time graph. It just cuts at 22% on more than one dat file............. Only one thing I'm not sure of is that when I do a "hard cut", the engine stalls...

OK so I don't think the calibration has changed anything - as it is when I installed the file I jacked up each wheel and spun it to check which channel it was allocated to on the PC and made sure they were right before writing the file to the unit. Just been out for a spin and, dry as it is, as far as I can tell it is working ok when driving. The problem is that when I move the digi adjuster percentage up to 22%, the engine cuts out.......... Fine on 21%, just cuts when it hits 22%...

Just had the RLTC fitted (full thread to come). When stationery if I turn the digi adjuster up to 25% it stalls the engine... Haven't done calibration yet but have installed Terminator's auto winter tight datfile. Could it be a pre calibration problem or do I have another problem?! Many thanks, Nick

Lol

sorry guys... already sold.

Mechanical gauge. Just removed from my car. Full working order. £45 incl P&P. It is the one on the right in the pic...

turn back the hands of time...

Was awaiting that one!!

Right! Apologies for the diagram before - it looked good in the preview box! Tried again... Scoring is a good idea that I prob would have overlooked so that's a definite start!!! I've never owned or used a dremmel - worth getting one?

I'm hoping to cut a hole out of my single din empty tray under the radio for the RLTC digi adjuster - it's exactly the same height as the tray. So a view from above of the tray would be something like... [edit that didn't work - stars fill empty space and try again!] ------------------ l ************ l l*** ______ *** l l___l ..RLTC... l___l Has anyone done this and what's the best tools given that I have very few? Cheers, Nick

2 quick qus on dash painting - First has any one used GVN for this... were they ok? (that's all one qu!) Second, have people generally also painted the inside of the dial cluster:

Hi mate, Apparently best stuff is from EPS design http://www.espdesign.co.uk/esp.storefront They will do a larger 60x10 sheet for £82 quid or something. Not sure how it compares to the stuff Envy sell.

Personally I would go red. Mine haven't gone pink... Otherwise blue. Lastly black or silver. TBH silver looks ok but for the hassle you go to to paint them you may as well go for a colour.

Anyone know what size mesh is required for most AM bumpers?

is it an anagram?
