hi guys this question has probably been answered but i rarely have the time to search through it all.

I'm going to purchase software for tuning power fc but i'm concerned about the kits with the serial connection to the laptop as mine is usb. I know you can buy adaptors, but has anyone or is anyone using them and have they had any problems with the converters and they're communication between the ecu and laptop???

which program would people out there prefer, I know that the datalogit comes in usb but is one better than the other (genuine apexi i would assume to be better). The version of the apexi product is all english is this true as i've heard that its all in jap?

thanks for any feedback

Cheers matt.

hey mate

I have only used the Apexi version and i have found it to be good to get the job done but we allways wonder what some of those functions are in Japanese.. Would be nice to give the kiwi one a try... (have never been able to get the monitor function working on the software yet)

Also you will find that 70% of the time serial devices dont work properly with usb to serial so you gotta test it out before you buy it or get a old laptop for tuning

If it was me id get the apexi one because i know how to use it really well and its pretty easy to use as well

I use the FC Datalogitsoftware and find it excellant. Can't comment on the APEXI but I guess it would be just as good mate.....

Ham or Eggs?

thanks mate.

The program i'm looking at states that it is all in english and in some of the screens he puts in his ad show it all in english....?

see what happens thanks again

Matt.

yeah you cant have the wideband input on the apexi stuff that i know of so if you own a decent wide band sensor system them it would be nice to have a look at the Datalogic stuff...

How much are both systems going for these days ?

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
