Rigging Speed sensor??my idea.

[Rasta Monsta]

A certain Haus of Autos in AZ has a Facet replacement for pretty dang cheap.

[v2rocket_aka944]

you seem like youd be fun to hang out with.

anyways, i see where you're going with trying to use that other sensor but i dont think it'd work based off how the sensors function. just pony up for a new speed sensor. but yes speed/ref are the same

[Jrboulder]

You've got to love the 944 scene. You've got high schoolers with clapped out 944's, serious enthusiasts who know their stuff, and now prison McGyvers with even more clapped out auto N/A's.

Whys it gotta be a race thing bro.......... my feeling is hurt.

Btw I just sent your sister an email telling her your posting her pics again. She's going to tell the people at the asylum to take your internet access away again.

Those facebook iq tests are way wrong man. Case in point.

OOOOOOO K, Now would someone tell me in ENGLISH what the original post was?

BTW, the new engine, turbo, MAF install is going well, hopefully will be up and running Saturday!!!!

They are the same but you need both. In all fairness, I think you got a little ahead of yourself with us. No race comments is a general rule of life. Its not cool to be racists anymore and its even less cool to joke about a slur. Ie. My grandfather was a racist and we all just looked past it but he was old and didn't joke about it. Try a different tack brother. We are friendly and helpful but grown up for the most part. You wont get far with this group by being a douche. Probably in your best interest to digress and talk like an adult. I understand you are having ahard time with your spelling (no biggie, I suck at math) so ill let you know that there is a spell checker at the bottom if the post window. You were trying to make friends and we will give you another chance. Just keep it about the porsche and leave the ñ bomb out of it. Im white and I would ponder back slapping a white guy for saying that word. And im front the south. Racisim is so 20th century now I stick with jerry rigged. Y best advice... hit the local junk yards fir a budget fix. Good luck bro. Straighten up and fly right.....

Rocket. I quoted the wrong post. Nothing was directed your way.

i find myself using "cowboy-ed" lately.... don't think being a cowboy is a race most likely a life choice like listening to disco-

Jerrys everywhere are offended

[lane912]

this also opens up for the "please leave the cowboy hats in the truck" coment on load-in's

[Arizona_928]

wait buy the BMW sensors they are cheaper!!!

[Brooklyn758]

LOL this was pretty fun and funny . Thank all ,Good and Bad . its all good to me .
I m alittle un sure about t he reference sensor . i got the speed sensor . instead of adjusting the bracket i made a washer or shim. reason was cause i seen the reference sensor has a washer /spacer under it . Is that normal . is that part of bracket? i didnt want t o explore any further untill i buy another new sensor . I dont want to make same mistake as speed sensor .
so question is . Speed sensor is suppose to be mounted flush on bracket ? with nothing between sensor and surface? .8mm +/-.3mm from the ring gear? And is that round piece under reference .part of bracket ? It looks to me like it is 3-4 mm thick. i seen a Ref. spacer for sale also. I couldn't find the specification for the gap between flywheel stud and reference sensor . is it also .8mm gap for flywheel stud and reference sensor,if the stud is set 5mm out?.
Reason I ask is because i Have the Clutch assembly?Damper modification. it works fine ,but it wasnt properly matched up as far as the Flywheel ,and bell housing. . I had problems with starter ,messing up , but i solved that with a metal shim . In which i was told it would be impo0ssible to shim the starter properly. And needed to match housing with flywheel. Drop tranny and etc... . But i was successful . So im thinking maybe there might be a height difference with the sensors and mismatched stuff . So the person who did all of this ,compensated by raising up the reference sensor .
Does my explanation of concern make sense?
And if i did offend any1 , Get over it !!! . Black,yellow,White ,green, blue . We all bleed red. And piss yellow.
And i am pretty fun to hang with .. Always willing to lend a hand if needed and normally im passive and humble .However i never hold my tongue . Im not the best at wording things . And i never ask for anything But i can't remain Ignorant . That is why i Posted .
Any of yous ever in Brooklyn HMU ,stop by , I have pool table . I could use some Porsche buddies . And maybe win some money on 9 Ball . hehe
( :-o.

The shim under the sensor belongs there. Loosen the bracket, put the shim around the sensor, install the sensor, then adjust the sensor bracket, tighten the bracket and remove the "adjusting sensor". Use one of your old sensors with the proper thickness washer super glued to the face for the adjustment. If you adjust the sensor without the spacer, the speed sensor will hit the pins on the flywheel and get torn to pieces

[Brooklyn758]

[QUOTE=89-944NA;6278967]The shim under the sensor belongs there. The shim that i see is about 2-3 mm thick and is under the Reference sensor . Is that correct? And the speed sensor should be mounted flush or also with a shim? My old speed sensor was to low ,the tip was worn away by the teeth of ring gear.
I understand the spacing washer glue to the tip , then adjust ,etc,etc.
But i have something better . A piece of Plastic or cardboard .8 mm thick . You just install touching gear . when you start car cardboard would pull off . ;-). I have the sensor on order . Ill be doing the plug also . Ill try to take a pic at that time . . I gues that washer is 5mm thick . i say this cause stud on flywheel is suppose to be 5mm out. and if ring gear and flywheel surfaces are even . when adjusting gap to speed sensor. the spacer would compensate for the higher stud.
Therefore also making a .8mm gap between stud and reference . thats why i asked for the gap specs. of reference sensor to stud. I wanted to make sure the stud is in properly . Or if there is a difference on my mismatched bell housing and flywheel. I would know and be able to set both to the correct gaps separately . ?Caprice? Understand ?
But thanks for your input . My Fuel lines are next. Im on a quest for the perfect idle. After fuel lines . I completely updated,upgraded and restored to original specifications, just about every system and components. /100% up to date as far as Maintenance . . but i still need seat covers and a Paintjob. LOL soon ,very soon.
106K miles not 1 sign of rust ,anywhere!!. Well maybe on the exhaust bolts. LOL

Those facebook iq tests are way wrong man. Case in point.

The 144 was from the MENSA exam. And the IQ Facebook app . is a very accurate non bias as far as education. test also . However there was some vocab Knowledge neccasary questions . In which should be on a iq test . but very few . mostly Images and analytic type of problems . I think i got a 141,and a 136 on the advance . but 128 on the basic . Mensa offered some scholarship BS and,emailed me . I responded with "I eat oatmeal". a week later i got a call from them . and told me ,,"they could not understand my reply " . I told them " Cause I do !" And hung up .LOL
those smart people are Psycho . i aint fckin with them . Im a Idiot not genius , Trust me . but i am good at figuring things out quickly and languages . I know about 5 . Remember im a HS dropout . GED. :-( . That tattoo gun , was i guess a prisoners Arts& crafts ,project lol. it only lasted a week or 2
they found it ion the search . it surprised me ,what you can come up with . When u limited on resources. . Prison is not kool . I learned form my mistakes . Took me 3 go-arounds but kept me alive . also i never read a book until i was locked up . all thru school i never completed a book . due to my ADHD . b+ a student . but just couldnt stand still and read . jailed cure that . Dean Koontzs Dragon Tears. First book i ever completed . Read over 75 novels in 9 months .

Your from the South ,and i can see why the n word , or racism is such a big deal . Its all good . But in NY that N word would not phase any1 ,even the old timers. im furthest from a racist that can be possible . I just hate People in general . lol
im aware of the spell check and if i take more time or effort i can be 100% grammatically and vocabalicly(Bklyn word);-) correct . But that would not be me .
Plus that spell check thing is a pain in the @ss. i also dont capitalze words . so it wants me to correct 100s of errors. :-O I still need to look a t teh KB when i type. 1 thing at a time eventually il;l be able to hit that shift bar and letter at same time .
But thanks for the warm welcome . Hehe.
sry bout rambling or goping off subject . It been a few bad years and I dont sociate with too many no more . Demon ***** ,that should keep it short .
but thanks for everything . one of my closest friends was murdered last years in NC Lugoff to be exact . Shihan Derrick Lee. i was suppose to have moved down there also . . Google his name ull find some news reportings .
Ciao
and thank you kindly,Chris

The speed sensor does not use a shim, there is an offset built into the mount the sets the gap for the speed sensor when the reference sensor is properly adjusted.

[Brooklyn758]

Thanks . I posted before i attempt to remove the sensor. And have not analyze mount thoroughly. I knew i better have a new sensor ready cause ,i know those wires are frail, due to age. i quickly fitted the adjusting screw on the mount. and noticed the Adj. screw is 6mm. But the pivot is not . and looks like im going to have to use a 3/8 " drive setup . Or I need to get long hex sockets . The Hex part . . No big deal . I hope . but that dude's laws follows me everywhere . That Stalking Murphy character ,never lets up . Gets me all the time . >:l
Thanks for the support . I want t o make sure these sensors are totally correct . So i can eliminate them as culprit to Rough idle . .
these cars have all the Technology as New cars . As far as computer controlling ,monitoring and adjusting the whole combustion process. But did not have enough juice to diagnose itself and all components . As todays cars do . Mechanics now rely on a computer telling him whats wrong . But most of them do not or would not know where to start or how to troubleshoot the systems without the car telling them . we have that little blinking feature . but really not needed. . I havent even tried it yet . I read the plugs to read A/F mix. white+lean Blk=Rich. Basically. I give it to the Vet Mechanics from the time before car telling u wats wrong. They are the real Mechanics . And there are not too many of them left or still working . And hard to find .
That is why i choose to learn and restore the 944 myself + would have never been able to afford paying some1 to do all that i have done . Way over 10K just in Labor ,it would have beeen already.
. . Mechanics today want the fast Buck .They would never take the time to go over everything properly . And very untrustworthy . you have to watch over their shoulders.
thanks again

[Brooklyn758]

Prison was ten years ago . McGyver was always there. i Detest autos. Really. And at the time ,and for the price ,it was a Porsche. Didnt know these tranny are real none sport like . My Pops Deville Shfts faster and stronger. And 3 gears WTF that about. i figure Porsche was like a Vette's auto tranny . In which shifts as fast or faster then pros.
But its the handling that i Savor and base this purchase on. i was born a racer . I use to do 180's on my BigWheel when 4yrs old. Drift around the corners ,you name . . A car is like another Appendage to me . My reflexes are second to none ,even when im sleeping . You wont be able to get that TV remote out of my hand. LOL .
But yeah i hate this Auto . After i finish restoring it . Im selling it . I need a 3 rotor Rx'7. Im really a Rotory Guy . I had a 12 sec 2nd gen rx7. Their is very close to these porsche . A little understeer . btu not enough to make the Difference at the checker line . And their incredible torgue makes up for that . And they are the only sport cars with a 5 star rating in reliability. . They never break down . 3 moving parts . enough said .
I ll do circles around you ,in my auto 944 .
Dont knock my driving skills and preferences . It was meant also as a Family car at time of Purchase . I couldnt buy a 2 seater . so i got this. True Sport cars have 2 seats . These are sporty coupes.

[ERAU944]

OR I have replacement plugs with factory fit and finish... why not fix it right?

sure you can buy BMW sensors for $100 each, but why not just fix the plugs on BOTH sensors for $25...
