ive got a 2nd plastic place also working on an enclosure, i reckon 1 out of 3 places should have something in next 4-6 weeks! dont want to have to get ball rolling with a 4th place!

i should have gone with this 3rd place from the start - their turn around times were about 2 months (back in feb) and i thought "so they wont be done till april? thats too long!" - and forgot about them. contacted them the other day and leadtimes are closer to 4-6 weeks so ill get them starting on a design this week.

reminder that the start of this thread has all info relating to the v1 group buy - i should start a new thread for V2 ones soon.

Very cool little display. I'd like to see the new version when its ready. Makes me want to keep my stock ECU and re-map so i can use this :domokun: Love all the functions! Your a smart guy Peter.

Yeah i will think about that :)

Sorry for now i have a GTR in many pieces (100's) and lots of money to be spent on other bits first unfortunately :)

So i didnt mean to be a time waster but i'll have to keep you posted Peter :)

Many thanks,

Deren

ok so now ive got a 4th(!) enclosure place started on making enclosures...this is becoming a bit of a joke, its like they all somehow know each other and have organised to 'lets just do nothing for this guy, how funny would that be!'. needless to say that having them ready this month is not really possible anymore. need target i guess is end of next month!

firmwares got maybe 1hr worth left to change it over from 40x2 to 20x4 so will be no problems there (prob done by this weekend).

if people want to let me know their preference for blue/green lcd screen (just post in this thread or pm me), because i need to order the right ratio of screens, and the boards need a different resistor depending on colour. doesnt matter if you change your mind about colour later, just need a gauge on what screens people generally prefer. remember you can checkout the blue screen in this avi 4.2mb from a couple of years ago. thats fairly close to what it will look like in general ambient light (worse in direct sunlight, better at night/low light).

all aim to update thread to 'v2' display (ie first post etc) sometime this weekend

was this around the $200 mark

and i forget can it do lap times as well or only display temp. speed rpm and few other bits and pieces

i would be interested in a blue screen one

yes its still estimated to be $200 (+$10 blue screen, $7 postage within aus)

it can do time trials, not lap times (no idea how the car is supposed to know when you do a lap - maybe if you entered the distances or something, perhaps an idea for future update)

yes it has a 'few' other bits and pieces

battery voltage, economy, injector duty cycle, ignition timing, AAC %, o2 sensor, coolant temp, AFM, TPS

trip meter - showing av speed, current speed, av fuel economy, current fuel economy, distance travelled, fuel used, litres per hour

then theres the fault codes, options to switch between metric/imperial, control of LCD brightness, contrast, and has USB consult interface if you want to hook up your laptop.

and theres probably other stuff, cant remember! see first page of this thread and then http://www.ecutalk.com/consultlcd.aspx for differences from V1 display.

ive added u to the list

ah yeah trip stuff is good this works with powerFC?

what's the difference with time trials to lap times?

with lap times couldn't you make it so you press a button @ the start finish line then press it again when you cross the line again to tell it how long the lap is then speed x distance = time or some equation like that :D i forget most of my physics

wont work with powerfc or other aftermarket computer, only stock ecu (daughterboard ok)

time trials = 0-60km/h, 0-100km/h, 400m, etc.

i edited last post - idea could be to set track distance and it would time each amount of distance.

a mate + stopwatch + odometer = cheaper lap timer :D

though really there are functions that more people would use tht would need to be done before any fancy lap timers, but as the firmware is updatable by user, means its pretty easy for me to release updates to add new features.

ah spewn about no after market computer

does that mean you wont need one, or will i keep you on the list?

Hey Peter,

Please put me on the list for a V2. Im a later comer to this but am very interested. How much longer would it be till the next batch? Still end of next month?

Cheers mate

ive added you. end of next month is still possible (although i havent yet passed the design stage with any enclosure makers yet, this 4th one are moving fairly quickly so im a bit more confident this time, but with all the other delays by the others places i wont be counting any chickens)

Hi, i'm intrested 100% if your still going to make them, put me down for one

thanks

they're practically done, except for the enclosure. ive got about 95 of them sitting in the room, just need cable assembled, screen plugged in, firmware put on the chip, and then stick them in an enclosure. ive added you to list.

I'd like to be added to the list for the ECUTalk Consult LCD display (v2) as well please. With the Blue & White screen :)

done

yeah i like the idea of having a pfc sorry cause i was liking the idea of having a trip computer too without the big after market price

does that mean you wont need one, or will i keep you on the list?

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
