3 Sections done

Another section finished now. Finished page count just hit 112. Early FDs didn't get wire colors on Section Y: Ground Points. I fixed that and gave everything an upgrade worthy of the Spirit R.

Since I started putting in the text on January 24th, I've finished 30 pages in 10 days. Overall, not too shabby but it will be picking up speed once I get Section X: Common Connectors done.

2/11 Update

So I've been working on and off on the Diagnosis Connector. Found a couple errors in it and got them ironed out. It also led me to another error in the Version 5/6 SRS System diagram that I have to fix now. It's an easy fix with a little artwork, so no worried.

12 more pages down (including the Map Pages)


124 done now, and I can move onto Section X: Common Connectors.

It's a little tool that lets you pull the codes from the stock ECU as if you had a CEL, like on the US-delivered LHD cars.
There are a lot of weird and interesting differences between the JDM and export models, like the lack of a CEL.
E.g. on the JDM cars, the power windows run through body ECU #2 (a.k.a. the "TWS unit"; I have no idea what TWS stands for).
This seems like unnecessary complication, but it allows the windows to be opened some time after the car is turned off (30 seconds for the older cars, longer for newer ones).
I assume this might have been some sort of regulatory safety issue.

What a mammoth undertaking. I stumbled on this thread about 2 years ago and doubted whether Akagis_white_comet, or anyone else for that matter, would have the stamina to see this through. Life has a habit of getting in the way of such grand plans!

I see that, at least as of 5 months back it was at 124 pages and powering on. And it looks like a total rewrite.

I cut and ran with machine translations a while ago and have just posted it up here: https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generati...lated-1166950/

It leaves a lot more work for the user but it might just tide someone over if they have a specific issue right now.
