Baz, a couple questions if I may.

Firstly, why could you not use the std holden ECU and tune say from a VE SS?

And secondly, after researching some your older posts, I notices a comment saying your trans does not align to the diff. Why is that?

Thx

Tim

Hi Tim,

The problem arises with all the additional electrical gear on the original donour vehicle that the ECU is programmed through. Take my HSV Grange for instance. There is the security system check, then there is the safety equipment check e.g. air bags, seat belts, sound system etc., and many more. When the key is initially turned, the car's computer activates all these precautionary checks and won't give the o.k., to start unless all of them check out. As the Cobra doesn't have any of these systems installed, the electrical compilation designed by Sideshow tricks the computer into thinking that all these checks have been carried out and are right to go.

I'm no Electrical Engineer, so if either you Jimmy or Justin are reading this thread, you might like to comment further.

I chose to have the Jag rear end and unfortunately the diff line is about 15 degrees off the centre line from the main transmission shaft. That's why I needed the specialised tail shaft.
