Yes. It's this entire sub.

Yeah this is what makes me suspicious of his claims. Nothing he is doing there is any form of manipulation. Jaycar use to do a kit that you could build that allowed you to intercept the A/F input and output whatever you like (lying to the ECU). I had one of these kits back in the early 2000's. Without a wide band A/F sensor you are risking your motor. I found out the hard way. The unit failed and ran my motor lean while at the track. Piston melted. I have a piggy back MAP ECU2 in my E34. It is probably going to be replaced as I develop the car. But it has been good for what I am doing. https://map-ecu.com/

I honestly don't think he would be manipulating any of the data. He seems to be just using the script to visualize and scale the pulse count. You could use this to make a display/gauge. @hybridan old Bimmersport member on here was building a nice display system for his E30. Have a did back to see if you can find the posts. If you wanted to cheat without having to write any code you could pick up an old mapecu2 which is a piggy back and use their UI to monitor anything required for tuning or switch/trigger states.

It looks like simple pulse counting of a hall effect sensor monitoring RPM. More likely he is simply intercepting some of the sensor inputs. Was quite common with old piggy back ECU's.

This one looks okay for a project. Wonder what he actually wants for it. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1520985222202887/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A0f9fe55c-1ff4-42ed-8dca-b1e77447c62d

That's a pretty good one there. Powerbuilt is generally still pretty good with the heavy equipment. I am still using my 26 year old powerbuilt socket set. Got me thinking about returning my small jack and fixing and selling my wayco to buy this one.

There are so many options for trolley jacks. I have had my Wayco one that I got from Repco for 25 years now. It's seals just recently let go. Will get a rebuild kit for it. Though I was looking at one of these as it was cheap. https://classiccarparts.co.nz/nds-trolley-jack-low-profile-3-ton-525mm-lift-height-wt04f0071 I think they are South Island based too. I also grabbed one of these for the track. $79... https://www.supercheapauto.co.nz/p/toolpro-toolpro-low-profile-trolley-jack-1600kg/563848.html Get yourself some good jack stands too.

Just drop it on a standard trolley jack. Even the standard jack will leave you with little room. Those cradles are only good for hoists. And I actually think they are crap for that too. I have more of a claw shaped one for my hoist. Easier to jiggle around.

That is a really good price for a full set. Wow. I'm going to give them a call.

Ah you could easily mistake that for multiple lifters having failed. Is this due to infrequent oil servicing?

Also Some nice Pagids for the stock size caliper on TM. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/bmw/brakes/listing/5358529014 Good for a track focused 130i.

What's the symptoms it shows when this occurs?

Yeah that is by far the best option. HellBM will also have any other little bits and pieces you would need for the swap. If you try and piece this together yourself it will take forever just to find the parts.

Sold my nice blue 130i. Will actually miss it. I didn't drive it much but it changed gear so smoothly compared to the horrible LCI GM box in my white one. Not a lot of interest in the manual car down this way. Everyone seems to be in Auckland and they are all so flakey. I think maybe I am giving too much info in the ad and should be targeting the clueless BMW owner. Might just hold onto it as it is so good to drive. Clean it up further.

Haha wow. Needs a full respray and he wants $30K... Also the valve cover gaskets are leaking so you can bet this thing has had next to no recent maintenance.

Pagid, Hawk or Endless in that order. Avoid EBC at all costs. Utter trash on the track. Had material fall off the backing plates and material crumble like pie crust. A number of others also experienced this in the BMW race series. EBC ignored my concerns so I actively tell people to avoid them.

Yeah fully agree. I bet every one of us has purchased the wrong part/version of a part at some stage. Or even been sent the wrong part. I got sent two left lower control arms for my Merc. I didn't check and it ended up being on the hoist for a week while the correct part was sent.

Yup. Example. ADL use to buy white box no name brake rotors for between $8-$15. They would sell them to mechanic shops for $35-$80. Who would charge the customer $150 a piece. Some good shops won't buy the cheap stuff due to the likelihood of an early failure and them having to maybe cover this. And I would say most people wanting to supply their own parts would be supplying the cheapest of the cheap not nice stuff like you have.

535is up to 1995 is the only one I really pay attention to. Unfortunately there is a bunch of people also watching and I have had good cars snaked from under me multiple times.

Supercheap will price match Amazon.com.au prices for identical products. Example: Autoglym polar blast 2.5L on amazon = $31.83NZD The same product from Supercheapauto in NZ not on special is $75...... On special it is still $55.90 Supercheap and Repco are just taking the piss now.

Would rather the one with a cage for $25K. Then you have $35K to spend on restoring it if you wanted to.

This is quite a crap change about to take place. I have actually benefited from the BPC program quite a bit since it has been running. It is when you Buy something and within 14days that item then goes on sale you get the difference credited to your account. As Supercheap has sales nearly as often as Briscoes it resulted in a bit of credit on the account each time I went in. e.g. You buy oil at $100. Sale is 50% off the following weekend. You get $50 added to your account. They are ditching BPC and going to a crappy $5 credit for every $100 spent.

Have you tried replacing the horn relay? If it is going off all the time at random and that is not being caused by the horn button/steering wheel part of the circuit then it could be a faulty relay. You can test the relay or see if there is similar one you can swap it with to test.
