cheers, thats just about perfect :ninja:

should probably add something like:

Selling or otherwise transferring this item to a third party, or allowing a third party to use this product is only permitted if they accept the conditions herein, and failure to pass on or otherwise inform them of these conditions may result in you assuming full responsibility for anything that may occur as a result of this.

ie, to make sure anyone at all who uses the device will have accepted those conditions.

maybe add something saying that if they sell it they should obtained a signed copy of this statement from the buyer to protect themselves (given theyre the ones selling or otherwise giving it away), and must forward a copy along to me?

in terms to tracking any potential theft, along with being able to info people about upgrades etc, it would be good for me to know who the new owners are if anyone ever sells theirs, so it would be good to get that into it

just letting everyone know ive received some boards i sent away to be made/assembled for usb-serial converters that can be used for those who dont have a serial port on their laptops - they use the FTDI chip which is pretty much the best chip out there for converters - but theyre expensive! (others give u random BSOD/resets like the targus one i have). its a bit simpler converter in that it doesnt convert the handshaking signals (which are used by modems etc, but not consult interfaces)

still have to test them though

with any luck ill have some of them made by time i finish testing and start selling the displays. most likely price will be around the $20-$25 mark. compared to the $50+ here, hopefully thats ok :)

this weekend or thru the week next week is still looking possible. i pretty much only need to finalise the setup for the injector size, add a fuse and a few other hardware things, then make the cables and put it in the box. got a couple uni assignments that ill hopefully get out of the way by wednesday so ill have couple days and maybe saturday to finish it off, fingers crossed. also need to finalise the disclaimer/waiver that will need to be signed, and that should hopefully be it!

Hey mate,

I noticed im in your interest list but im not confirmed....

Definetly keen on one.

They are looking better everytime i check.

Functions are great, the addition of 400m is awesome, though i cant wait to see how much wheelspin throws it out!!!!! :)

yeh, wish something could be done about that, but until cars come with accelerometers to measure speed rather than the current gearbox/wheelturns method, its impossible. theres possible mathematical methods to try and guess whats wheelspin, when it stops, and then assume linear acceleration over from timestart to when wheelspin stops (then normal from then on), but simply the most accurate way is to not wheelspin to begin with

real drivers dont get wheelspin anyway :down:

ive put u down as confirmed

nar mate you can take me off the list ive got somehting else now sorry dude good luck with the sale

they look the treat

Hey Peter, lookin forward to the finished product as I just replaced my diagnosed as faulty Knock Sensors by someone who will remain nameless! :D

-NOT an easy task as had to remove all intake manifolds etc to do them.

STILL same problem of intermittent not firing all cyls and timing /fuel going out to lunch, so hope your LCD Consult Box will help to contribute to solve problem!

Please send asap :rant:

sorry didn't mean to get too far off topic....but attesa takes the longitudinal gsensor as input which is what you would need for accurate acceleration figures. I think the 34 vspec puts the output on the screen but they all have the sensors

yeh, just depends hoe theyt get the reading, i gyues itd be reading sensor directly. anyway ocnce ive got the first lot going ill start another thread with suggestions for improvements/extensions (got an idea for an extension for logging to some kind of memory card as a possibility)

Hey Peter, how are you this week to meet up and test the GTR one?

check ur pm re: testing availability

ive finished the firmware so once i finish building the devices for the testers (one completed so far) ill be able to start testing with them. either thru the week, or next weekend.

some pics of the first "final" device completed for testing. the black blob on the cord is a external vreg (basically means device itself stays cooler) which will warm up a bit (heatshrink takes care of it), and also a 0.5A fuse (this "should" be enough, but testing will determine if it needs to be a higher value or not)

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
