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.

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
