there is bound to be a serial number of the device itself. its possible he is attempting to access this for the registration purposes but is having problems doing so without changing the firmware too much. having it stored on a chip he would be limited to size etc....

Nobby, we don't know each other, not that it's at all relevant. We're all busy here, in our own way - perhaps some more so than others. Regardless, we've all taken the time to do the same homework th

I know I'm bumping the thread which will probably start more question on it and I for one want the thread to die (it's been frustrating that it's taken sooo long and I've only been waiting 4 months not 18) but here goes...

What I'm basically thinking is that I've started to grow accustomed to the Japanese and really can't see myself using much of the Car computer stuff whether english or Japanese. And the fact that this guy's arsed around for so long instils no faith in me that if the software hack goes pear shaped you'll get any kind of support. Because he's taken so long I almost don't want to reward him by buying his software. So unless the end product is $5 then basically he can shove it! I mean seriously, he's probably spent 5 times the effort on his stupid (and defeatable) security measures. Realistically he's probably going to be asking $100 for his disks :blush: , tell himhe's dreaming.

Is it just me being a crank pants or do others feel this way?

YEP FULLY UNDERSTAND WHERE YOUR COMING FROM.IS IT REALLY WORTH CONVERTING WHAT PEOPLE KNOW BY NOW ? AND AT A RISK TO THE ORIGINAL SOFTWARE. WHILST COMMENDABLE HAS LITTLE IF ANY VALUE.

I agree, If you don't feel the need to change the language as you are comfortable with it keep the coin in your pocket or spend it on another mod.

And yes, the longer it takes the less people will want it.

I just don't understand peoples desire to shit all over other peoples work when they have no better solution.

Agree--No need for people to be nasty about it

I don't know who's being that nasty, certainly I didn't mean to be. I'm extremely impressed with Andy staying with this for so long. Serious case of beer to him when/if it ever gets finished.

I will certainly decide whether or not to spend the dough when/if it ever gets released depending on cost. As you so rightly pointed out A it'll be a call of whether you wnat it or another mod and depending on cost that may be a clear side indicator or new tyres :thumbsup:

I was simply musing out loud on the whole thing after revisiting the thread. Given that I've seen Andy's working somewhat in English (Nav will never work on the system because of no Aussie maps), ages ago, it's just a but frustrating that the guy didn't take that long by the looks of it to crack the system, but rather has been taking a very long time on the security side of selling it! No offence intended.

In the tru spirit of don't bag if you can't do... I put out the call to my developer network and found someone who reckons they can do the translation. I'm willing to kick the project off, fund it and then if I get a solution sell it on to forum members on a cost recovery basis. I need a test DVD-ROM unit though. Does anyone have one they've ripped out of a car or is willing to pull theirs out? You'll get a free English upgrade :)

I will get mine out when I put the car in next month to get my alarm fitted but if there's one already out, I'm very keen to start work. Chris you got nay laying around? Bisseebee?

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
