i dont even know why anyone would buy anything other then a WBO2 product from www.wbo2.com

I have had mine for 13 months, i think the cable is buggard cos i run it through the door and the guy is soo good with his customers he is looking at it and replacing it for free.

They can even have input for 4 EGT thormocouples. 2mb logging... its THE shit.... and they are in canberra.

yeah the wb02 stuff looks ace, i really dislike the power connector on that unit on the previous page, looks like it would come out of the socket very easily

that would be fatal to the 02 sensor if it did come out

what the plx one?

my plx device is just sensational. so easy to hook up and no mucking around at all. plus when i get the OLED display gauge for it and the rest of the PLX sensor systems my car is gonna be just like an aeroplane!

Yeah its great. The customer service from Peter @ techedge is awesome, he is allways willing to help. He is going to help set mine up to use k-type thermocouples, i sent mine back yesterday and should get it back fully working again by the end of the week!

Yeah looks like the power cable can disconnect easily which will reduce the life of the sensor very fast.

WB02 is the only way to go, especially if your in australia!!

this one here

http://www.plxdevices.com/products/dm100/smafrcombo/

you can see on the wb02 the power connector has a coupler, so it cant come undone

if the unit looses power while running, youll risk the 02 sensor as the heater circuit needs to be live

regarding installation places, make sure you have it the way the manual says

on my lc1 they are anal about not letting moisture pool on the sensor, so mine is mounted upright in the "12 oclock position"

i dont even know why anyone would buy anything other then a WBO2 product from www.wbo2.com

i was told that the WB02 products had unnecessary lag and that's why i chose to go innovate. however i really shouldn't have got the LC1 now that i know everyones experience's with them...

I had a fist full of cash for Pete 5 years ago, though heard from a few very reputable tuners about their issues with rapid elevation changes messing with the output. I saw a calibrated techedge unit compared to a motec (the older design)

Left a dirty feeling in my mouth, and didn't want to risk my motor (or others) with a device from a mom and pop operation.

I know the US Rx7Club uses (used) em like hot cakes... but Innovative, PLX make sell a LOT more :D

Once bitten twice shy I guess.

Just my personal opinion from the device half a decade ago, i believe these comments fit within forum guidelines.

Intercool, have you had a LC failure?

no mine is still going (less than 5000km's old)

but every 2nd person out there say there's was working one day and just stops the next. i don't even know if i got warrantee on mine.

i did have an immense amount of problem trying to calibrate and update it, and this problem still exists. i just worked around it.

i don't know if i should have gone LM1, PLX, or WB02 now. but i definitely wouldnt chose the LC1

wbo2 all good never had any problems and yes good customer support . had mine for 2 years and always runs faultless.

How many hours as the sensor seen, how old is the sensor, have you checked it against a known good unit for accuracy and response time recently.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
