Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
In the short term, I'm not gonna run any physical connection out there. Before I paved the driveway I buried a few lengths of 4" PVC so I could get natural gas piping and whatever else out there, which I plan to do this fall...so when I trench for the gas pipe I'm going to run a ****ton of other stuff at the same time (ethernet, cable, probably a bunch of multi-conductor wire just on principle) but for the meanwhile I'd just like something out there that I can use to browse with my laptop or stream from Amazon cloud player without having to use my phone. So I'd think even with some signal loss, a 200 mbps powerline thing would still keep my 50 incoming as the bottleneck (which is still not a bad situation to be in).
I'd estimate there's probably about 100 feet of wire between the main breaker panel and the garage subpanel, maybe less.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
We COULD NOT get the ecu to read. We had power to the diagnostic connector, we had grounds where we needed grounds, and the serial data wire showed continuity from the ecu pin to the diagnostic pin. When powered we had reference voltage at the sensors, and could even hear the iac power up. We proceeded to check resistance at every ground, power at every wire. and everything tested fine. As we put all the tools away and were about to head home Mike was checking some stuff out on ls1tech and found someone with the same issue we were having and as it turns out some pinouts posted online are WRONG. Alldata included (which I used) and there is a serial data wire that is supposed to go to the body control module. Which my 78 jeep obviously doesn't have. but Alldata tells you its supposed to be a ground. Now what was happening instead of sending signals to the diagnostic connector, it was grounding the serial data coming out of the pcm, and not allowing a signal. cut that wire in half and boom, The software read the ecu. But this was 10:00 at night, and too late to make loud noises. So today is the dyno day.
Such a stupid issue. But these guys are awesome and dealt with this crap for a few hours last night.

Sam - dyno results?

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
**** it. buy a cheap PWI and a nice AP. make sure its a wifi-N AP so its more future proof... i like netgear's APs, linksys make better stuff now but it is PRICEY lemme tell yea. trendnet is ok as well if you dont want to spend too much.
damn. glad those guys figured it out. waiting for the video of that thing on the rollers!

Billy, I know no one but me misses you, but that's okay. You can still come around the NAC and hate all you want.

Wouldn't matter because I'm working tomorrow, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at my other job. SO TAKE THAT, SMARTYPANTZ!!
p.s. I'm leaving

is it a cab and chassis or a true dual?
(63.5" wide or 72" wide)

I believe it is a cab and chassis it isn't 72 wide! And it's skinnier than my sterling in the f350.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
We are about to get a $1 dyno at work. Not kidding. Someone one of the other employees knows bought an environmental test chamber at auction without reading the full description and just found out they have to take a bunch of other bullshit with it, including a dyno they don't want.
Unfortunately it's only a motorcycle dyno, but we have enough mechanical engineers here that that won't stay that way for long. And it's supposedly good for like 750hp, so we have some leeway, since the engine we're using is legally restricted to 100hp :laugh2:
Hoping we get to post some pictures of the plane-car on the dyno.

That should be a bit of an upgrade from the 100d 10u we had...
