Got my Informeter today ;) , now I just have to wait 'till Christmas :blink:

Surely you need to test it, you know - make sure it works... The financial controller wouldnt want to give you a broken christmas present, would she? :ermm:

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

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
