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...

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

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
