Replaced the VSS tonight. Still no speedo. Going to UroTuning here in Tampa to have them pull the codes, wipe everything, then see if that helps.

Anything else I can try?

 

Found this. Going to verify that this is the code I'm getting on Monday, and then pull this part out when replacing the CV axles next weekend.

 

+1 for stripping the crap outta those bolts its easy to do lol and the torque is rediculous.

Congrats on the sweet a4. And having come from a 240sx myself...LOL

 

Ordered a Triple Square bit set and the Speedo Sensor Ring.

Replaced the spark plugs and air filter with Denso Iridium's and a K&N respectively. #4 Spark plug hole had a bit of oil pooled in it, oil cap gasket is suspect. It's amazing what new plugs and filter can do for the car.

I also bought some Seafoam, but I'm not sure which vacuum port to use for sucking it into the intake. I always took the line off the brake booster on my old 240's, but this is a V6 so I'm not sure that it would work the same. Anyone have any experience with this?

 

Eff yesssssss! I can feel my 240 mojo flowing back through me. Now it's just time for the JHM short shifter.





Hand made, lathed from Thorn wood I harvested in Ireland (wish I had gotten some more apple when I was in Germany), pressed into some copper fittings for stability.

 

custom boot that covers the brass would look really good.

 

We'll see what it looks like when I get the short shifter in. I might try to get the copper plated with nickle (or at least something that looks like it).

 

For reference, my first 240:

 

dear god do you shift with you face

 

lawlz. No, but it does put the shifter pretty much level with the steering wheel, so I didn't have to reach very far (and as a result, didn't have to have my hand off the wheel for very long) in order to shift. Looks ridiculous, but it's really effective.
