President Paul Biya of Cameroon is way older than Buhari, Mugabe is way older too, Lots of Presidents are way older than him as well. My 35 years old physically fit and healthy looking neighbour just had a stroke yesterday.. Think before you leap!

Its very economical like Toyota. I use Renault Megane 2000 1.6 engine. With 6,000 naira fuel to and fro Ilorin from Ogere, I will still have a little below the quarter tank in the car.
If your car was a 2.0 ltr, would you say same thing?, cos the VW Polo 1.4 is more fuel friendly than your car.

The gear driven speed sensors where last used by Honda in the 1993 model.

Whether its an Autobiography, HSE, sport or a Ferrari there are basics do not change. Speedometer wont work correctly from readings from wheels. Its the transmission output that is used for speedometer. Rear axle is still part of the transmission output. Beyond the differential, speedometer readings will be inaccurate. Do your research well.

My ABS unit has its own ECU and all wheel sensors are connected direct to the unit. The whole component system of the ABS does not involve the ECU.
Just a quick one all ECU is hard wired to the main ECU, even your seat ECU

Just because u specifically say u dont want an internet picture.

Luckily i have the next best thing. My service manual.

There are 2 of those sensors in the transmission. One measures input and the other output.

Like i said before Wheel sensors are used by ABS and VSA but not speedometer.
YOu have not brought anything new to the table Ooh, we have both covered input and output sensors in the part.
The ABS sensor sends a reading to teh main ECU, loads of other thing in your car feeds from this signals,was it not you I shared what uses this same signals in my car with? let me check, Im sure it was you.


I wrote this last time we had this conversation Remember shocked shocked shocked

well I have been at work hence my very brief and short reply now Im home
I have read fru your quotes and that of crowly.I dont know how new your own car is so i cant say but Im going to use my car as an example and how its system works hope it thrwos more l ight into the VSS relative to it uses.
Now my car is a 2012 Range Rover sport Autobiography so comes fully loaded this is how the VSS works
Now the Variable Assist Power Steering (VAPS) system uses Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) input to regulate power steering pressures for higher assist at slow speeds, making parking lot maneuvers easier to perform. The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) uses VSS information to determine when a wheel is locked up and releases pressure to that wheel to maintain directional stability. Some vehicles use separate sensors for the ABS, but it is common that the computer uses the information from the wheel sensors to act as a VSS. For example, many newer Ford vehicles use a rear axle mounted speed sensor for both ABS and computer related vehicle speed functions. Instrument Cluster (IC) and Hybrid Electric Cluster (HEC) modules use vehicle speed info for speedometer operation.I have a 2004 jeep liberty in Nigeria this is waht it uses as shown on that pic.
The vast majority newer Vehicle Speed Sensors are of the permanent magnet type, and function much the same as a CPS sensor. The sensors can be mounted either in the transmission case (like yours) or rear differential assembly(Jeep and Ford). Those in the transmission are typicaly gear driven, and those in the differential function by using a trigger wheel mounted with the ring gear. Both style sensors perform the same task.
I hope this is more clearer grin grin

How can a camera just read speed? Can my mobile phone camera read speed? No camera can read speed.

Speed is a relationship between distance and time. Take one out of the other, its no longer speed.

There is no speed without time. No speed measuring device can measure speed without time and distance.

U just mentioned white lines, do you know that these white lines are placed at a particular fixed distance apart? That is very important to tell the speed. Secondly, whether radar, infrared, Camera or GPS, the all have to measure the time you crossed the first white line to the time u crossed the second white line.

Kilometer / hour which is distance / time.

Speedometer sensor measures time by way of counting revolution while the size of tire provides the distance and together they become speed.
ok SInce you k now more about this speed camera, let me ask kindly now tell me how the speed Gun works then cos the speed Gun is a mobile hand held speeding device. Im waiting angry angry

You covered it but i still dont agree to it.

I still maintain, that if you change the diameter of ur tires, your speedo becomes errornous and would need recalibration.

Speedometer, ABS, Vehicle stability sensors sensors all work the same way by measuring rotation but not distance. They all measure rotation along the drive line or hub. The speedo is calibrated with a fixed tire to know the speed that is a fact u refuse to accept but it is.

My car is a front wheel drive which has 4 ABS sensors. The front measures rotation of the CVT joint while the rear measures rotatiion of the hub. Speedometer sensor is located in the trasnmission.

The way ABS works is it tracks vehicle speed by means of the speed sensor located in the transmission. Say vehicle speed is 100km/h. But there are 4 ABS sensors in each wheel. They all should be doing 100km/h or there about. If one tire becomes 0km/h while the vehicle speed sensor reports 100km/h the wheel is considered locked and ABS kicks in.

Speedometer is independent of ABS but ABS is dependent on speedometer.
OK have you seen waht the ssensor reads speed from, waht it looks like?have you seen this sprocket B4?I think you should take a look at it, I try not to do Internet pictures these days, but I will see if I can get one and if anyone here can plz upload.
That sensor by ur transmission is mainly inpute and output sensors.These are car specific, may I ask you for what car are you referring to?
This link is an ABS RIng, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FOR-TOYOTA-AVENSIS-COROLLS-CAMRY-ABS-RELUCTOR-RING-/332275680430?epid=721067216&hash=item4d5d2c84ae:g:xF8AAOSwdGFYvIzW
The Sensors points unto this teeth(gears).Least we 4get the power of rotation is transferred to the Hub from the drive shaft which forms part of the ABS,

In the context that I wrote "minute" I meant "very very small" and not the time variant.

Well there's no speed cameras in my country so I wouldn't know how those stuff work anyways. Let's wait till next time you upgrade for the final assessment but I still believe your speedometer won't correspond as it used to when you had the 15" rimmed wheels
The spedoo picks its readings from a sensor mounted 90 degrees to a sprocket withing the ABS module, the size of the tyres bears no significant to its reading unless you upgrade the ABS module by
A putting a bigger sprocket
B Puting a smaller sprocket then you can alter the speedo.
Read few pages back, we already covered this,I guess you just saw this now.

I see your diagram and I now understand what you meant. I don't really know dimensions so I used those figures just to convey my point. You would be faster because you've increased your ride height but the speed camera might not notice the difference because it will be minute
The speed cameras do not use minutes, it just judge your speed, there are white lines marking on the road and the camera show a laser on this tract,, modern cameras use GPS to mark your speed on these locations too..The one on my way to work is 40 miles/hr with tolerance of just 2 Miles/hr, you do 42.1 miles/hr it flashes and you got a speeding ticket sent to you.,even if I Upgrade my tyres to 19 as Planning to do next week, I aint still going to utter my speedo.

Okay, I'm not an engineer so I will explain in layman terms as i understand it. In the picture below (it's just a rough hypothesis)

What you had under your car was fig. A

What you now have is fig. B

meanwhile assuming you did your upgrade as in fig. C, I'm certain your trusty speed camera would be telling you a different story

Take note of the dimensions as it changes. The tyres in fig. A & B both have the same ride height but that in fig. C is higher than they are
No Tyre has 5,4 and 3 as aspect ration as described by your drawing, what that means is 3,4,5 are the % of height of that Tyre.

That's why your speed is still constant. You only increased your rims but used the same height of tyres. Now assuming you raised the tyre height by just an inch there would be a difference.

I can't know the name because it's been a while I saw such cars and it was on tv. These cars are "old school" looking and actually vintage so they're unconventional.

Maybe if I rummage around in Google I can get a picture of one for you
Unless you are talking about a tractor,I just upgraded to a 17 inch tyrs on my BMW, last week,I dont get flashes on the 40 m/hr speed cameras meaning my car maintained its usual speed with the speedo.

In this situation I believe the speed will be the determined by the wheels propelling the car. Like in your example if you're driving a front wheel drive vehicle and You have 16" in front then the car will move according to the size of those front wheels and the 19" rear wheels will just be dragged along
Would you have different wheel size your carhuh

You could develop yourself other ways, maybe do a masters with NOUN or online.

even MSC from Oxford university won't guarantee anybody any employment in Nigeria at the moment except such individual has the long leg to go with it


before you take that leap, ask yourself...
will you still come back and look for job or you can obtain residency over there?

if the MSC is just to obtain chieftaincy title only to come back and start searching for work again, please reconsider o
again, for the period, you won't be working. can you afford to live on your savings and people's good will for the time being without it affecting your primary objective?

in simple terms, going is a good idea if residency and a job is assured upon completion
