Andy asked me to do a quick review of my Greddy intelligent informeter. (non touch)

It displays some of the info available through the OBD2 port under the drivers side kick panel and remains plugged into it. I mounted mine in the cubby hole in the pov pack "couldnt afford a tv".

It can display pie graphs, needle and numerical data of various types, of course most or the timing and injector data isn't accurate on my car as the emanage is changing it after this.

I would recommend this for logging all aspects of the car, but it is discontinued now,(replaced by the touch version) hence the cheap $290 price I paid for a new one. Touch has a lot more options too, so ive read, like resetting cel's etc. as well as a larger screen.

I think it displays about 15 different things like injector duty and cool crap like that. Different cars show different data. This one displays the dtc but doesnt reset it like the touch apparently does.

Thats exactly why I bought it. Ive pushed the motor a bit and I want info on how its handling it before I crank it further. Dont want to find the limit of these engines just yet as I havent got the funds for the 3.5 block yet. Hopefully cooling the engine helps with oil and piston temps.

Dyno day at RE customs on Saturday if I can make it, same dyno I usually run on so it should give me a good indication which way im heading with the tune.

Do you know if the touch can display error codes/descriptions (I am presuming that one cannot)?

They both can.

that was on my "to get" list.. but a powerFC is above it atm. :blush:

Won't work with PFC, only stock ECU(or variants). PFC hand controller does a similar job.

I have one too. A touch might be crap to use when mounted behind the wheel due to lack of tacticle feel when flicking through screens?

I'm now waiting for a non-touch version to show up from ImportMonster...

For $240 shipped the nerd within couldn't say no.

the later Itouch outputs a signal......if you have a screen in your car you would be able to hook it up.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.

      Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Hendasto · Posted

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
