ECU

[Jason]

Has anyone got an ECU? I killed mine. :(

OUCH...

How did you manage that Jason??

You might want to talk to Oz about a replacement, there's a few on Yahoo Japan at the moment.

Hey Adrian,

Thankyou so much. I can see it. How do I read it, bid etc. I'm keen.

Replied via PM,

But for others who are interested, I normally use

to translate pages but it doesn't seem to be working with the auction pages at the moment...

It's working with other Jap pages so I think Yahoo Japan have installed some kind of filter...

As for Buying, Thats where Oz (our Man in Japan) comes into play.

Hey Oz and Adrian,

I want to have Oz Samurai's children! I just got a call from him and I should have an ECU sometime this week. :bounce: Talk about a life saver.

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.

Glad to hear that you'll be back on the road soon. But how did you manage to fry the ECU?

Glad to help out Jason, but the thanks also should go to my back up team here in So You Tech Planning as they are the ones that take care of me over here. ECU will be on the way today as mentioned on the phone...

Cheers

Oz

Adam,

I tried replacing the capacitors in the ECU but I ended up pulling out one of the tracks and burning through another. I had dabled with electronic kits as a kid but this was something far more delicate. My advice for anyone attempting this procedure is THINK TWICE! Better go now and sit by the letter box and wait for Postman Pat...

Regards

Jason :)

Ahh, thats not really that bad. You could still repair that by soldering a wire from one point to another. I deal with a lot of electronic circuits and these sorts of things happen all the time. If I had to etch a new board every time that happened I'd go mad.

But I agree if you never soldered or use a soldering iron, which is too powerful you can damage the circuit easily. Can you post a picture?

[Adam]

I see you fixed the problem.

Hey Tim,

If I get a chance I'll take it out and take some photos.
