Hey wanted to ask,

As they come in serial if we have a serial to usb adapter already will that work? Or do we require to purchase the usb adapter from you?

nearly any usb/serial converter will work, so its likely the one u have will be fine...no special requirements are needed (in fact the ones i have are much simpler than normal ones since you only need to use 3 of the 9 pins).

one with a FTDI chip will work best, but my suggestion would be to try the one you've got, and you can always get one from me later on (subject to availability) if it doesnt work. if i run out of stock, ill track down the cheapest one from elsewhere that will work (theres some on uk ebay, and on a US site)

Does this work on a R33 GTR RB26DETT engine?

and also, does this work on a R34 GTT RB25DET?

(on standard ECUs)

if so, i am interested

yes and yes, ive added u to the list. RB26 even support a lot more sensors than most other motors do, which is a bonus

Hey,

I've got an R32 GTS-T. The build date is 10/1989. I've checked my car and it's got the consult port. However you said "find your 23710-xxxxx part number." What part number are you referring too? Also is this a DIY kit or pre-assembled?

if its got the consult port it's almost certainly ok. just checked, and its 9/89 that was the transition month. i think one ecu model that i think supports consult started 8/89. which means i think all 10/89+ will support it, and only few in 9/89 and 8/89 will. the part number is the number on the ecu. if its too hard to get to (passenger kickpanel), i can always accept return (minus postage costs) within say a week if you find it doesnt work on your car.

i dont think ive heard of a confirmed case where a car came from factory with a consult port, but not an ecu that supports consult, so you should be fine!

its preassembled, plug and play. the only DIY bit is plugging it in and running the software :P

good question...i havent personally tried it...im sure vista will have messed up something to make it not work

so u choose the com1 (or whatever) from dropdown, and then it hangs? does anything else change in between? does the display gauges button's text change to say "Connect on port: COMx..."?

changed u to confirmed

also default cable length will be 200cm (as this will make it easier to route behind dash and come out the glove box and reach passenger seat)

Choose COM3

Text says "Connect on port: COM3"

tick

tock

Give it about 40 seconds (on the shitty work laptop) and it says 'Not Responding...' and the shittiness ensues!

Nice.

u sure com3 is right? also what .net framework version and updates have u got installed? (if you know). got all windows updates applied?

id probably need to get vista installed to work out what the issue is. maybe have a try of all previous versions on the site and see if any work, or see where the others fail at.

parts have been received by the place doing board manufacture/assembly, still looking at either side of the weekend of 12-13 May for when boards are received, then a couple days from then for when first interfaces will be available (need the cable/connector assembled)

Brand new built Vista laptop from 2nd week April - v1.1 .Net framework.

Not really too worried now, gave the cable back to it's owner so I never got to run the diags :rolleyes: anyone on westside of Bris who's willing to let me borrow theirs for an afternoon when I get my XP laptop back I'd be hugely grateful!

just got confirmation the boards are being sent out from manufacturer. so should arrive friday, which will allow assembly to start on weekend. so the expected May 14 (Monday) start date will be when I will start contacting people for payment (subject of course to there being no errors/problems with boards, wont know till i get them and test it out)

number of people confirmed by 9AM on Monday will determine price. if we subsequently go over 20 people (but not before 9am monday), SAU will get $5/interface sold, which somewhat make up for all of those who havent yet donated!

well the interface itself will be compatible, but who knows what software works on vista yet? someones already reported ecutalk doesnt for them, so id say theres a reasonable chance it wont work for anyone on vista.

id imagine "some" consult software may work, which that is, who knows.

so im afraid youll have to decide yourself on that. worse-case scenario that nothing works, i should have a compatible ecutalk version by say, end of july?

also:

Software - will NOT be provided on a cd - can be download from here

note the change there - CD's will not be provided, as this would add a $4 or something to shipping as it would no longer be classed as a "letter" but a "parcel"

    • Welcome. Dont let anyone dissuade you from your dreams. If you want a gtr, keep sabing and you will eventually get one. I feel like if I had have bought stocks, those companies would have gone bust and I would have lost my money.  There's a gamble in everything we buy. I've had good times and bad. But... I've also met my absolute best friend through this network and can't imagine life without them(more like a brother). Keep in mind, some specific mods will change as technology gets better. If you feel like general chat, there's always the wasteland.....
    • Those are some very cutesy barriers! Is that common?
    • Saw this abandoned Honda Fit in a carpark that was getting repaved... they just 'cut around it' and continued with the job! There's a number of reasons why the car could have been abandoned, but as for the construction company, legally they don't have permission to move the car from the owner (who has moved on and can't be contacted) so all they can do it just leave it there with enough space around it so it won't get damaged. 
    • You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?
    • Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership
