will do.

i have a few prototype displays available. these are functionally the same as the normal displays, and will be firmware upgradable etc like the others, main difference is they come without the black box/enclosure (which may suit people as the LCD alone is much slimmer to mount somewhere.

$175 + post (express 7, registered 10). If you dont want the integrated consult interface, then you can minus $10 off that. add $6 if paying by paypal. i can also supply display with leads for you to hook up your own buttons (rather than using the ones on board). cable lengths can be whatever you want.

see http://www.ecutalk.com latest news post for more info, and a couple more pics

Peter,

is it true that this consult/LCD and your previous consult box dont work with a powerfc? They only work on the stock nissan ECU?

Any ideas on what you can use to get data from a powerfc -> carputer (via serial), which wont cost an arm + a leg?

thats right, consult is a nissan thing, if apexi implemented it then they might have visits from nissan lawyers :D

look into fc datalogit (or something to that effect). i think paulr33? has compiled some form of powerfc faq somewhere which might have info on it, not sure.

i can actually make 1-2 prototype ones, with the normal black enclosure, except it will just need a bit of black tape on ends to ensure it doesnt pop open (shouldnt anyway, but just to be sure).

you can see how theres a bit of a gap where the bits join. it would be $190+post for that

the next batch, im considering changing straight away to a 20x4 setup (rather than doing another lot of 40x2 characters setup same as this one) which isnt as long, has buttons on front, and would fit in a DIN slot (<50mm high) if required. eg 125x45mm (rather than 188x39mm like current one). price of next lot would be determined by how much the plastic enclosures cost, maybe around $220 mark? theyll be as cheap as i can make them, cause everyone should have one!

the next batch will be, at this stage, around september mark.

Love your work man. Put me down as a definite for your September run. A 20x4 screen sounds good too.

I reckon this thing is a good reason to go piggyback - i'm gonna love having one to go with my e-manage ultimate.

Actually..... PM sent.

september, october, november maybe...these things always take longer than you want them too :cheers:

just about to start redesign of PCB for version 2. enclosure design is part way there too.

  • 1 month later...

the main part needed to run the display wont be available till ~12 dec (at current estimates by supplier). so i guess thats a rough aim for me to have all the hardware done and ready by.

then its just a matter of how many features can be put in before a limited (or full) release.

if i can get the firmware updating working fine (ie you can update firmware on unit yourself like you would with a adsl modem or computer bios) then ill be able to get them out sooner than later.

ive already bought 30 lcd modules, and probably have half the parts needed for the boards already. need to finish off design of PCB and get some prototypes made, hopefully by start of next month. then need enclosures done...once enclosures are ready, final pcb to be manufactured/assembled (hopefully wont need to do most of assembly myself), and then a lot of work on the firmware (the stuff that runs the display)

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
