Just wondering if anyone has one instatted in any car, but particularly a RS4 Stagea.

I've got a few questions

1. How many press/temp sensors can you add?

2. Does it come with any pressure sensors or anything standard?

3. What exactly does it display strait out of the box?

4. I basically want to display, oil press, water temp, boost pressure, knock. Is this possible with this unit, or is there a better option?

I got a Blitz r-vit TypeII in my r32 skyline.

It plugs into the consult port near the fuses.

It only shows ECU details.

Doesnt have any external sensors, only reads ecu information. (no different to plugging a laptop with consult cable)

Displays all sensors which the ecu reads;

water temp, afm voltage, o2 voltage, injector duty cycle, ignition timing, battery voltage, speed, rpm

In regards to question 4, you are after a single unit which can display external sensors for water temp, oil press, boost press etc.

Only option ive found on the internet is Defi Link - http://www.nengun.com/defi/link-display

Although after buying all the sensors etc, it will set you back close to $1k :)

So does it display knock values? I know the computer sees them but I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere.

A Blitz unit looks like the pick of the ones on nengun for me. The Blitz MMD might be a goer with the boost sensor, included. Not sure on the differences between all the different units. The MMD with another pressure sensor would probably do the trick.

I'd go ask at my local supplier, but that's AutoBahn, they wouldn't have a clue.

Why the hell didn't the stag come with an oil pressure guage anyway!!! It doesn't already have a sensor does it?

only shows ignition timing degree value thats all.

Also, the blitz r-vit only works on standard ecu's. If you have a powerFC it wont work.

If you're using a standard ecu, they have knock protection anyways and will switch to safe map if anything goes wrong.

The blitz r-vit also works with chipped standard ecu's such as nistune (where you can tune the knock map to protect car etc)

Else the powerfc, i believe, shows knock reading and flashing light but thats all you get. No safe map switching as standard ecu

there was a guy on here called newKleer or something like that

he made a 4 chan temp monitor - have a search .. looked pretty good

that was mearcat. i think thread for it is still in group buy forum, probably closed by now.

nope, consult doesnt give u knock reading, neither does it have oil temp or oil pressure or boost.

I've got an Emanage, not sure what sort of knock protection it has. Are there any tricky guage mounting options for a stagea with a factory tv setup?

you can get 3 guage pods that sit ontop of the dash above the centre vent that look pretty nice

i've also got some guages here if you're looking for some :blush:

the mrs and i are highly interested in gauge mounting position too mate. if yu come up with something that isn't obtrusive, doesn't take away a vent, doesn't block the clock and is still easy enough to see whilst driving, let me know, lol. i'll keep looking and return the favour if you want :blush: how many gauges are you looking at having and what size faces?

you can also get guage plates that mount where the passenger side airbag is, fairly popular in japan but i wouldn't recommend it. you can always mount the guages in the glove box, leave it open when you want to see them and keep it closed when you don't want anyone else too

haha, i could see the passenger airbag thing being pretty disasterous :P

so far we're thinking 1 near the a pillar, 2 in the ash tray (not quite too sure how we're gonna achieve that mean feat, but we'll see how we go) and the 4th one in the glove box... still early days yet though. noone makes cars to hold gauges!

What guages heve you got MIKE?

I was thinking about making up a panel that covers the ash tray and cig lighter to take 3 or 4 52-60mm guages. Then wire a cig lighter plug into the centre consol. I want atleast 2 guages, oil press and boost. If i can fit more in I'll also put in a oil temp and water temp.

If i could wire a switch between 3 sensors I'd have the temp guage so it can display water, oil and trans temps. Not sure if it's possible, but I don't see why not

If I was to get something made up, to hold guages in the area below the din panels, over the cig lighter and ash tray, would people be interested in getting one also?

What i'm planning is to make up a mould to fit the area perfectly. Then lay in a few layers of carbon fibre, once it's set I'll trim them up. If a few people would like them, or i couldn't get it looking good, I'd get the carbon fibre work done professionally. But by machining up a nice mould it should make things much easier either way.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
