Dumb Question Thread!

It's OBD2 compliant, but not tuneable/reflashable till rev d/version 7. Kwi_fozze knows the ins and outs of it.

I have an OBD2 cable and SSM software for my rev B/Version 6 STI ECU. I can read and clear codes and monitor sensors but can only change idle, base timing etc.

And if you get a cheap bluetooth dongle you can't do ****. It doesn't know how to talk to JDM stuff.

not exactly nothing really to do with the dongle or that it is JDM more to do with how obd2 compliant the vehicle is.

I have a "cheap" bluetooth adapter and it reads "true" obd2 stuff brilliantly, works so far on a 2012 merc sprinter 313,2008,2009,2012 toyota hiace,2014 toyota rav4 wont work on my 2005 hilux nor our 2003 landcruiser

Cheep adapters use (normally) a knock off or copy ELM327 chip, which simply can not understand the SSM protocol that jdm subarus use. International spec is fine (because 'murica emmissions testing requirements) but the jap market could do as they please. SSM actually polls faster than odb2 and the content is different to what the ELM327 chip can decipher.

Have seen a jdm and usdm subaru sat next to each other, used the same logger settings, same cable (tactrix) under same test conditions, jdm still polled info smooth and fast with something like 25 parameters selected wheras the usdm one started getting glitchy

Apply brake extremely lightly, feel/listen for it going skish skish skish

I'm betting wheel bearing.

Ah bugger. Will wheel bearing noise be there sometimes and not others and go away under braking?

It definitely disappears under braking in all situations.

Noticed a bit of a squeak from the rear end yesterday when cornering. Did a couple of rapid back n forth turns once on a straight bit of road to try replicate it, dedinately from rear passenger side, did it a few times then went away.

Got home and had a look underneath to see whats up and found the sway bar was way off centre and the bush must have been rubbing on the bars bend. Worth worrying about or just something that happens from time to time?

Thinking of geting a thicker whiteline one at some point and will get some of the bar clamps at that point to hold it all together.

Hey guys, any idea what this means?

When i click the odometer stick with the car off i can toggle beetween 1-on and 5-on? Sounds like a locking thing but i cant work out what it does and googeling hasnt helped. Mainly just curious, can anyone help?

Hey guy's where's the best place to buy an aftermarket fuel pump from? For a reasonable price?..

Would this be good enough for a V7 STI? : http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/performance/fuel-systems/auction-797224874.htm

Let me know, as i need one for my Re-Flash.

Cheers :).

Buy a walbro off fortyone on here heaps cheaper.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
