  1. Long story short this is how to get the fault codes from the abs on my jdm v3 sti gc8 

     

    Theres a heap of info on the net but none of it was the same as mine 

     

    Step 1 . Find the 2 earth prongs hidden inside tape in the same tape around where the wires for the green n black diagnostic plugs comes from 

    They are black.  And sheathed individually about 3mm round . They are folded back over on them shelves and taped up from factory.  Mine had blue tape.  

    Step 2 find this black 2 pin plug that is smaller than the green n black plugs .

     

    Jam an earth pin in the blue n white wire . (Nothing happened when i tried the other wire )

     

    Turn key on . Abs light will give you the 10s n 1s for a code . 

     

    It can only store 3 codes even if you have more 

     

    Jamming the earth pin in and out at least 3 times clears codes . 

     

    My only re occurring code was 52 

    Under the motor on the abs pump where the cam actually drives the 2 plungers was bit rusty / crud . 

    Wd40 n a dung out and some grease on the faces it was good as again 

     

    The top cover and magnets come off the whole thing with no fuss . The 2x torx 25 you can see .

    The rotor n brushed n next plate didnt want to come out but that's only because its sealed/glued into the alloy housing . A small tire lever against the rotor broke that glue 

     

    Codes:

    Abnormal ABS sensor, open circuit or voltage too high

    21 – front right ABS sensor

    23 – front left ABS sensor

    25 – rear right ABS sensor

    27 – rear left ABS sensor

     

    Abnormal ABS sensor, abnormal ABS sensor signal

    22 – front right ABS sensor

    24 – front left ABS sensor

    26 – rear right ABS sensor

    28 – rear left ABS sensor

    29 – any one of four

     

    Abnormal solenoid valve circuits in ABS control module and hydraulic unit

    31 – Front right inlet valve

    32 – Front right outlet valve

    33 – Front left inlet valve

    34 – Front left outlet valve

    35 – Rear right inlet valve

    36 – Rear right outlet valve

    37 – Rear left inlet valve

    38 – Rear left outlet valve

     

    41 – Abnormal ABS control module

    42 – Source voltage is abnormal

    44 – A combination of AT control abnormal

    51 – Abnormal valve relay

    52 – Abnormal motor and/or motor relay

    54 – Abnormal stop light switch

    56 – Abnormal G sensor output voltage

  2. Progress is slow.  

    Starting own business 

    Have nearly 20 classic dirt bikes i maintain and race 

    Vq30det jetboat thats fun aswell 

     

    I have a spare v7 ic someone can have cheap its a bit rough but usable 

     

    The vf23 can be for sale if someone is hanging out for one .

     

    The stock v3 sti intercooler can find a new home if someone wants it 

     

    I now have a 6s ecu . A ej20k powerfc with controller and a linkg4 plug in . I dont need 3 ecus obviously 

     

    Still after a whole exhaust.  Mine still has a stock down pipe and god knows what else back to a big fart can . 

     

    Got a red silicon gpi intake hose that someone can have.  I want a black one 

     

    Whos got anything to say about the sub 1000 dollar turbos on trade me ?  As far as results and it lasted a a year or it lasted 4 months Or would you rather a high flowed old td05 . Or which version of a tdo5 is the best all rounder on a stock motor. Will get injectors and retune etc  

     

    Cheers all

  3. Was there ever a knock off of the syms headers?   

    They look like these 

    https://images.app.goo.gl/VSB7QCqGvnZjPHDV7

     

    Distinguishing features being slip joints with tie bars . The big pipe loop on the left hand closest side of the photo and the twin up pipes that merge right before turbo . 

    Last owner w**ked on about them but didnt mentiom syms . 

     

    Last owner also w**ked on about his ranger with a throttle controller being almost as fast as the wrx , among lots of other s*** that fell out when he opened his mouth so didnt pay too much attention 

  4. https://linksharing.samsungcloud.com/wHTl09eYErOA

     

    Not sure if that works . Lazy mans copy from fb 

    Car has 6s ecu like it should 

    Ecu had stored code for afm and 02 sensor . 

    Where is the done thing place to get a new 02 sensor from ? Even if it needs the plug swapped .

     

    Ugly af blue leds for dash dials . Fml 

     

    Can anyone comment on how to tell between a vf 22 and 23 if the printing is gone off the comp housing ?  Without removing it from the car . Probably not 

     

    Shifter has the usual 8 miles of left to right slop but actually feels nice in and out of every gear . 

     

    Ugly gay razo pedal covers that don't fit my shoes between them . 

     

    Day off tomorrow so ill go see what the wof man thinks of it 

     

    Anyone got a upgraded dump pipe they want to sell . This one appears stock

    Flickr is my go to for photo hosting. It's yet to let me down and doesn't seem to get flagged and blocked by some browsers and workplace filters that a few alternatives do.

     

    The current forum also auto embeds photo’s so you just need to copy the URL on the host site to here and it does all the rest on it's own.

     

    Yeah you can sign up for a paid subscription that gives you ad free scrolling in the store.

    Thanks fulla 

  6. If we pay money can i get rid of the adds on the forum ? 

     

    Can anyone state at what hp/ boost a vf 22 runs out of inlet or exhaust flow ?  Itll do 300 hp and almost 20 psi wont it 

    Not a fan of back pressure 

     

    Vf22 on a v3  and tdo5 on a legacy rs is my idea of appropriate turbo sizing 

     

    Will buy a lightening flywheel and metallic clutch if someone has a brand name one lying around thats still got some life 

  7. Just bought a v3 sti . Yea the white one that was on fb in chch 

     

    Had a v3 ra a few years ago . Was 197kw on 11 psi . 

     

    Electric windows and central locking seem handy now im over 30 ha ha 

     

    This thing runs ok . Vf 22 . Only on 10 psi so must have retard controller plumbing or its in linp mode . Will figure it out eventually.  

    Desperately needs a new 02 sensor 

     

    Will panel and paint it at some point and generally just make it as good as it can be . 

     

    Ive still got an adjustment afm and a wide band so ill turn this thing up till it runs out of injectors . 

     

    Like to think id build a forged 2.2 but yea have 0 of those bits lying around . Thought i had acess to some v6 heads but apparently not . 

     

    If someone has some shim under bucket heads they want to sell id be interested 

     

    Where are you all hosting photos that you share on here these days ?

  8. Any subaru key or nissan key works in any subaru of that vintage with about 3 seconds of wiggling . When I was moving house I ended up with no keys at wrong house and needing to drive the wrx . Brothers van key opened wrx started it . And I got the key out with it running so he could dtive the van . Car only had 90km on it so its not like it was completely flogged out .

    When I was selling the wrx a potential buyer came to visit in a nice version 5 . As a demo I tried my luck on their car with the 3 subaru keys I carry . Within about 15 seconds I had it unlocked and started .

    At the very least unplug a bunch of **** in the engine bay . But leave it on the plug so its not noticeable . Failing that put a chain through a wheel . It annoys me less than an alarm .
