Yep Dunc, :blink: got to unbox it in the morning and give it a quick test, but she made a point of teasing me about it this morning.

Man, this is a cool piece of kit!

Sadly mine is back in the box 'till Christmas day...

I see what you mean about the owners manual; hardly any details in English. What functions are people displaying with these? I have a few things I want to see, but the options are endless...

I've got a query about how accurate the fuel consumption readings are, mine seems to be indicating I'm averaging ~10.2km/L (~9.8L per 100km) which seems a bit too economical? Anyone with a leaf screen or long time user have any insight?

Perhaps I've been more conservative this past week, I only had a quarter tank (according to the fuel gauge) when I put it on so I've got no way of determining if its right or not. Need to top it up to full and do a comparison!

that sucks!

my mrs did that when she bought me a XBOX360 for my 30th birthday. she got it over a month before too!

Nah, it's cool, I was the one who put the condition on its purchase, so it's my own silly fault.

Now I've got something to use as an excuse to hide in the garage and drink beer, while the outlaws drive my missus mad.

Then we'll see who's teasing who (or who's getting belted with a cooked the sphincter of the universe).

It's a big job to look that far into the future...

the sphincter of the universe :D ....that is funny you broad minded person!

BTW....nothing wrong with hiding in the garage to drink beer :bunny: .....that's where I came up with the "6 Pack Holiday"

Six pack holiday; classic!

Hey Andy. Got mine today. Looks trick (in the box). If you were an FleaBay merchant you'd have a AAAAAA++++++ rating for the fast shipping :)

Thanks heaps.

Hi Andy

I have a quick question. Today we played with settings on the InfoMeter and found there are 2 things it can't display on my Stagea. Speed and gear position. Both these display on our Micra. I don't really care about gear position but speed could be needed later (for cruise control perhaps).

I'm a bit surprised since all the other data is picked up from the CAN bus, so why would it not get these two?

Can you confirm that both work on your car?

Thanks, Leon.

It should, mine displays both speed and gear as I remember. (although the gear is only approximate I think, worked out off the speed?)

I agree with what scott :) said..

Sounds like someone has been playing with your wiring prior to you getting the car.

Yep, you'd be right about that! And I reckon Scott's right about the gear numbering being calculated, probably from speed. When I hooked it up to the Micra and had it in Drive but stationary, gear displayed 0. As soon as we rolled forward it displayed 1.

It only stands to reason that if the speed sensor wiring has been changed somewhere, and therefore doesn't output to the InfoMeter, then the gear selection part wouldn't display also.

I wonder if that was messed about when the headunit/GPS was installed? One thing I do know, I'm getting a bad back & neck from having it stuck up under that dash of mine. Oh, and the footwell smells distinctly like feet :D

Iain, that's pretty cool that it told you about the faulty O2 sensor. I haven't seen where it is on the M35; hope it's easy to get at.

Thank guys, I appreciate the advice & I'm sure I'll track it down eventually.

same thing happened to mine, although it was reading about 30 k's out, didnt make much of a difference i didnt need it, but i reset all the gear positioning n it became better?

dont ask me if it made any difference, but it was the only thing i did different!

and jus wondering, are you changing the settings completely when you swap between cars?

You can change the speed variance in settings. So my informeter now tells memthe correct speed unlike my dash which is out due to wheels.

Also everyone with informeters post your best PS and what your average IN temp and water temp is. Mine both seem high. Water likes at 84 and IN 30-34 is where it normally sits. Rained today so was at 27-30.

PS will depend on weight input. Mine is set to 1800kg. It will only be accurate on flat ground too.

Water around 89

PS 545

    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
