For sure. The battery check switch does change the reading and sits at 12v or something from memory whilst running

Thanks! I'll have a multimeter tonight to test out the capacitors and resistors. Cleaning up the ugly soldering hasn't helped at all and the issues are identical. I should note that when I had it hooked up and used for a few days there would be extended periods where the tach would cut out and not read anything at all and then at random times it would start reading again, albeit incorrectly.

Hi guys, a couple of months ago I posted a topic (that's since been deleted) about my Cartron (Carmate) Digital Tachometer not reading revs correctly, the majority of responses was to first clean up the crappy DIY soldering that was present on the circuit board, it has since been tidied up (original solder joints have been kept) but the problem still persists and now I have a small clip showing the problem.

In the video it shows the car being revved and held at 2000rpm the tacho reads 1600 but in brief instances flickers to 2000, then the engine is revved to 3000rpm 3-4 times and most of the time the tacho reads  400-800rpm as the car is revving up and when it is losing revs the reading will jump up and read correctly as the revs fall. Anything over 3000rpm will either flicker excessively or more commonly just won't read at all.

So with the description out of the way does anyone have any idea what the issue could be? I have uploaded images of the front and rear of the circuit board in the link below

Sorry for the excessive use of 'rev' and 'revving' by the way haha

Hey man! Saw your car today at Mission Bay and I had to snap a shot, loving it!

if it exits at the side ie level with the side of the body, then it is not under it, therefore ok

Thanks for clarification

I'm interested in routing my exhaust exit to the side of the car (circled below) and I have read up that the exhausts cannot sit directly below a passenger compartment, I assume where I want it is fine, but I don't know what the limit to how far it can protrude from the body is.

Photocopy of his reciept ok?

Unsure if he still has it, a good 6 months or so ago is when he got it.

What happens in situations like this where you lost the receipts?

 

I lost them for some new parts I just got

Would also like to know since this padding is excess, from a friend's MSNZ certed full cage.

It is in schedule A of the MSNZ manual.

Just to come back to this, i have padding from Cardwells that meets the 'soft' padding specification (non-flammable, clpsed cell foam, 15mm thickness). Is there any proof needed for this kind to be passed or can a certifier tell by looking at it?

haha cheers guys!

Exactly what sort of padding needed for a rollbar to be certed?

Can't wait to find out the difference the cams, ECU and gears made to your power output

check front too , can transfer diagonally if that makes sense ?

Will have another good look at both front and rear, but I didn't think about this, thanks!

Clint, can I PM you about cert booking etc?

As far as I can tell nothing at all is bent and everything looks sound.

Hello!

Shock body heights on my rear coilovers need to be at slightly different heights to ride evenly, 10-15mm difference, will it still pass?
