[Diy_efi] WB controller

Sun Aug 4 22:18:37 GMT 2002

Never meant anything sarcastic at all just wanted the straight scoop and no
more.. If asking hard questions is sarcastic then so be it. I am an engineer and
hard questions are an everyday thing here. My karma is well also :>) I guess I
will do what I have to and conjure up an NTK 6100 series box... BTW I generally
work on '"vintage" cars now as I am an old fart in my 50's.. Nissan GTP from the
90's and Cosworth DFR and DFX / Ferrari 308,328,355 stuff. And yes 35 seconds is
a very long ride with the 'juice' on but that's why we get records LOL... Some
on the bottle and some not.
