I just got an email from my contact in Japan who can once again get me some informeter's at a very good price. (sorry Dunc & Dale)

let me know if anyone is after one?

Cheers

Andy

Hi Andy, can you PM me info on the infometer?

Thanks, Leon.

It finally showed up, in a very well traveled looking postage satchel with no padding :|

Everything looks to be in order, no damage to the box or the components.. looks like its all there and brand new. Fingers crossed theres no dramas!

I'll see if I can photograph some of the setup/install and screen options for this thread (and M35Stagea.info) :) I should really learn japanese; the manual has 91 pages of documentation for them, and 20 for us. Im pretty sure their language isnt THAT inefficient, so Im guessing they just get more details... bastards!

Got around to installing it, the missus came over and wasnt too keen on me sitting in the car for 30-45mins last night :P

Never mind, I had a good think about where would be practical for the unit and initially tried zip tying it on the right hand side of the steering wheen; that proved to be an awesome sun light reflector in to my face - so I settled for it on the left hand side.

The display itself is nice and clear, very easy to read

I used the double sided tape to mount it, wasnt possible to get it completely flush but I think it should hold

Didnt take any photos of the wiring, but I went with the Red - Orange connection, turns on and off with the car. I tucked the cables up into the opening in the panel next to the OBD plug, havent cable tied/taped back the cables flush yet but its out of the way for the time being :rofl:

Hi Dunc

Nice job.

That is the same spot I put mine. You should be able to tuck the cable up next to the main console next to the air vent.

I managed to bend my mounting pad so it sits flat on the curved surface.

Cheers

I contemplated trying to bend it but figured Id probably some how break it, knowing my luck :D

Theres already a cable running down there for the fog lights, I'll sort something out eventually.. Im thinking those little square stick on patches with tiny cable ties built in; one or two of them should keep it nice and flush.

Interesting thing I was oblivious too initially, the branding on mine! RE雨宮 (RE Amemiya), as in the tuning house for rotaries. Weird. Everything was new, in box. Protective plastic film still over the screen. Who knows :)

i rekon the mishi would have fitted with some cutting

but these ones have the mounts in the wrong spot and they hold the AC condenser out 10mm away from the core so the entire unit doesnt fit in

anyway, it will be sorted with more time and money thrown at it :P

Thats about how far the condenser sits out from mine...

how did you get it to fit without cutting too much of the reo away?

bah, dont worry actually. gotta get the radiator modded anyway so ill get them to move the mounting points forward so it WILL fit

then ill just shorten the hoses on the back so they dont kink up

    • If you have a RB25DET NEO AWD motor, you will need this: https://www.hioctanedirect.com/ASR-RB26-RWD-Street-Comp-6.5L-Sump-Suit-R32/33/34-and-VL It is made for the AWD motor, but makes it fit a RWD setup and gives you a new pickup. Just one thing, the pickup sits quite forward, compared to a conventional RB25DET RWD motor. This may or may not have contributed to my previous AWD -> RWD shitting the bed at the track.
    • My car is also flex tuned. It's worth mentioning it (the LS1 ECU) has a 1D table for E85 addition and just uses the ethanol stoich part as the second point of reference. It also as a 3D timing map for Ethanol adjustment. You would think this isn't enough but it works pretty damn well. That said, I wouldn't want it in turbo application. It's like lifting non-natty, or taking meth. It gets you unrealistic results that break down more things going forward. If people used it to make the same amount of power they do on 98 then it'd be one thing. But people use it, crank it up to eleventy million PSI, it doesn't knock - but it pushes the point of failure to another, more expensive thing to break. Every time I see someone make 280kw on 98 and 350kw on E85 on the same equipment I just cry a bit and really wish they would just stay on 98 in that exact scenario. It's bad for you. 
    • This is kind of what I was thinking but the temp sender wire and the two pressure switch wires run through the starter subharnes and I eliminated the two pressure switch wires completely.  @GTSBoy I have a can gauge with unusually bright warnings should the oil pressure fall so the factory light isn't needed. I need to dig out my wiring diagram and see if I can sort this out.
    • It's a valid point. And it is doable with the Nistune. But I'm not inclined to flex it the way Nistune does - certainly not on a Neo ECU. They're already pernickety enough to tune just one one fuel. And of course, I'm not that interested in putting in a Link or similar, on a daily. With the stock ECU, stock looking turbo, etc etc, I still stand a chance of surviving a run-in with the plod. Last time it went over the pits (which was for the transplant, for because of a run-in with the plod), the Nistuned ECU did not even raise an eyebrow. They want to see a stock ECU running the engine, and they are happy to see it do so without the check engine light** on. Never mind that the Nistune is necessary to make the stock ECU work in a different chassis without ABS, TCS, etc. **And they actually provoke the CEL to come on by disconnecting the AFM, to prove that the globe hasn't been pulled!
    • This is why you flex fuel it...
