Pete - yeah, you can... but you have to be a bit trick about it. 4th you probably can't but you wanna be doing a rolling road session in 3rd (ie. 1:1) anyway. That's what the hold button is for - you get it up and running so it's in 3rd (40 odd mph?) then hit the hold switch and jam your foot on the go-pedal and it /shouldn't/ kick down. AFAIK, that's what they were doing at the rolling road day with Jap autos. Paul - the Jap / UK boxes aren't /that/ much different, but it doesn't matter anyway... how they function is down to the autobox ECU, and they are the same in both cases. The UK just doesn't have the power/hold switch wired up - there's a few blank pins in the UK manual (book, dammit) but it doesn't say what they're for. I simply need to know what pins to wire the switch up to - there's only, like, two wires... and maybe a ground! Someone's gotta know!

(but has different connector so needs a small converter) It's what a distributor would do in a "normal" car, except it switches 12V about to the 6 coils rather than HT about from one coil. Try going into Halfords and asking for a set of HT leads for a Z32 :)

Blimey, still nothing?! Guess all you guys with Jap autos don't own a multimeter! I thought MrP would know, even if he h'aint got auto n'more.

"One careful owner, needs minor attention, drives like a crab". What's the betting he didn't bother with track day cover? I'm sure there's a moral to this story.

Noone know?

Yeah, tried that... with overdrive off, it's still kicking down. Even with the kick-down switch disconnected it's doing it. Needs that hold switch. Or something like shift-at-will... but I aint gonna be able to make one of those by tomorrow ;) Is there anything in a Consult (a real one) that could fix it in a gear, or is it monitor only?

Help! Y'all know how the Jap spec autobox has that power/hold switch? I need to know what pins it connects to on the autobox ECU. I have a UK spec, so don't have the switch. But I need the hold function so I can get a decent run in 3rd on a rolling road. It just didn't wanna know trying in 2nd - too much wheelspin! I had a look at the online manual... couldn't find it. Anyone got any ideas? I need to get this switch wired up soon... like, tomorrow if possible.

You're all a bunch of blinkin loons! :D

Too much :xxx: ? :D Simon - likes a night out with the lads and curries. Talks b*****ks. You're not wrong!

A knackered old Silvia... big turbo, big injectors, mapped, stripped out, caged, stiffened up with some decent suspension, set of R-compounds... no, hold up - you said budget!... the one I'm thinking of has probably had far too many notes spent on it already. Used to love my 2.8i Capri ;) Felt quick, even if it wasn't. And made loadz of noise! :D XR4i's are OK for a laff too. Had a stripped / caged Rover SD1 for a while... that old thing was hilarious! Borrowed it off a mate who bought it for a grand (had to drive it back down here from Scotland tho). Demo derby?! I'd wanna be in a Volvo!

Er... kinda. Does this mean I'm not part of the Blitz Whoooosh Club because I don't polish my pipe as often as you guys? :D Matty - you wanna keep your head in the car and go tunnel hunting instead ;)

Oh dearodearodear! Oh dear.:nono:

Finally, weapons of mass distraction found!

You cheat! Not that I've managed to get my head around it anyway. It's obvious Santa exists - Pete's math points were very interesting, but they're flawed because they assume Santa can only take one form at a time. I'd have thought it was blindingly obvious Santa can be in many places at the same time... I mean, look around the shops at Christmas and he's friggin' everywhere! Personally, I reckon he's actually Agent Smith - all the baddies turn good around Christmas time... then normally appear in panto.

If a bear sh1ts in the woods and noones around to hear it f@rt, does it's turd still stink?! Or somink like that. I drive like a tit sometimes. Never like a tw@t.

25 girls in matching birthday suits might have been better :D Immature? Well, if you're like me and never wanna grow up, then I s'pose it is! Nothing wrong with that tho. Nice one! I know if I ever see anything like that I kinda weigh up how impressive it is at the time... around here it's usually some boy in a Festa getting one wheel going... cr@p! But a 300 being @rsed around is how things should be. If I'd seen you come off the roundabout at 10 mph and trundle up the road, I've have gone running after you and told you to go back and do it again properly!

I was gonna post a similar thread a while ago, cos I need to know who else on here is on O2 that I can phone for hours on end. I'm sure Macca and Stu are getting fed up with me!

I'd love to tell you all, but because absolutely everything is done by SE, apparently it's VERY, VERY TOP SECRET! :D Eh, Mac? ;)

Not me, honest!.. even tho mine's an estimated 1000 bhp at 100 rpm. It's my blinkin' estimate... I can estimate what I want! :D I like your new sig-pic btw Stu - it looks like you've started with a poofy looking space-ship and transformed it into a mean, shiny looking blue monster! Camera angles, eh? ;)

Beer and cold curry ;)

Why no Denny's over here?! All day breakfast is the way to go. Falling Down is a top film! :D

Nah, you just look the oldest ;) I prolly feel the oldest... or am just about to :eek:

Wasn't everyone unhappy with the flywheel calculation from the RR-day? So wouldn't a rwbhp poll have been better? Anyway, can I vote next week when I actually know! :D WTF am I grinning about?! It could be completely pants... then I'll have to run away and hide for a while! :eek:

But... I've got T28's and forged pistons! :D Yours has been off the road longer than mine was, right Chris?! :confused:
