Not the informeter, there is no input for it. I do all my logging with the Emanage Ultimate, wideband included, then I send the log to my tuner who rings me back and tells me if I need a re-tune after each mod. lol.

According to this link you spice the wideband in the pink wire on the infometer.

Very nice find, I haven't seen that before. Might be a better gauge than the innovative one I use...

Well I've got one on order and it would be a bonus if this works (no reason to believe it doesn't). Pink must be an analogue input but I am not sure it's left free if you run the sensor adaptor also. Though having looked thsi picture of the wiring set-up it looks like the pink is still available even with the three external sensors = possible win.

Yeh, I have the external sensors all plugged in, which means I cant run the serial connection to the Emanage. I cant remember offhand if the pink wire was free.

I wonder if there are any other sensors I can plug in...

i wish i could get it to dim at night time. or when my headlights are on.

anyone know that one?

Mine doesn't dim either, so I just reduced the backlight to around 30%. Still fine in the day, and much better at night.

Hey quick question to all. How hot water temp is to hot. Hit 99 today in traffic and got little worried as I set alarm at 97. Air intake was at 76 :S

Mine does this also, in fact; those are the exact same peak numbers as on my Informeter. It's not nice to look at, but before you had the Informeter it was exactly the same; you just didn't know it.:whistling:

You have to understand this isn't an HQ holden, these engines are designed to run in the mid 80's minimum.

Modern engines run tight tolerances and the running temperatures reflect that, higher engine running temperatures also promote better emissions (notwithstanding the rich/retard things cars do when the weather gets really hot).

My last Honda road bike (CBR 929RR) had a digital temp gauge; running temp was 89 deg, would routinely run out to 106 deg, fan would come on drop it to 98 deg. I once rode it on a 47 deg day with a pillion, with the temp gauge sitting on 102 deg for 5 hours. I did 75000km on this bike and when I sold it it went EXACTLY the same as the day I bought it. Most Honda road cars, the optimum running temp is 90 -95 deg, it's just a number.

The cooling system is under pressure (10- 15psi is normal), water does not boil at 100 deg if it is pressurised. (I think the rule of thumb is an extra degree for every psi of pressure)

As Cephas says; the thing to worry about, is if the car doesn't cool down once you're moving (more than 70km/h). This means the cooling system, or the volume of water in the system is inadequate for the purpose.

Of course, any amount of heat you can remove from the syatem is a good thing (i.e external oil or trans cooler ducted AWAY from the radiator) just gives more headroom for the system to operate in extreme conditions.

mines hit 107 before in hot weather with the AC on. this was stop start traffic

lately its been around 90-99 in stop start. once im moving at 60km it drops back to mid 80s. im not so worried anymore now other people are having similar numbers. i also have a nismo thermostat which i think was a stock one in a nismo box

Yeah. I average near 90 on hotter days. Hit 99 and got worried so took back roads where I wash sitting still and dropped to 94-95. Air temp was high 60's still though.

Need standard airbox! Any body know where I can get one without selling my liver?

Got to 101 in traffic....intake temp got up to 79!!!!

Talk to zei20l.....pretty sure he has a spare standard airbox!

Ok I thought it was just me with high intake temps. As when I opened the bonnet it dropped 5 degrees within seconds. Also driving with bonnet open shows marked improvement with my crappy pod. But cant drive with the bonnet open around streets.

Can anyone with a leaf screen AND an informeter comment on the fuel consumption readouts from the informeter? Mine seem to be so far wrong its comical (Im assuming the leaf screen is accurate - Ive never heard reports to the contrary)

Well it depends on how often you reset your informeter. My average is quite accurate with leaf but trip is a little off. Haven't really tested it though. I find the actual leave compared to the currant usage on inform to be the same.

But my throttle seems never to go below 10% lol dunno why

lol I purposly didnt set these up, and the leaf screen i shut off.

250k per FULL tank is not something you wanna see lmao

lol... that's 2 days to work and back for me!

I dunno how you put up with it mate

well everytime i try to get a tune onto it, i either get exited and find something else i wanna do first.

or my turbo blows lol

Because its stuck in my shed with no turbo. Cheap to run if you dont drive it. lol.

^^ and that.

Scott wish shayne for me!

    • thanks mate, one of the reasons I even bought it to be fair.
    • I found parts on EFI Solutions webshop that seemed to be the accurate ones. I haven't gotten around to fitting the turbos back on the car yet since I still have to deal with the shitty crack in the engine block. But I'm confident that the bolts I ordered will fit. According to EFI they are also 7-16/24. The reason M11x1 got involved here is because it is apparently very similar to 7-16/24.
    • Well, to be fair to the car I've driven it daily for almost a decade now, although in that time only put on 50k, as it just recently passed 100k miles early this year. For the most part its been fine because I've been able to source parts from AUS like jacks jdm and a few places in Japan, some things like pads have been easy since 300z pads swap right in... I realize its probably at that time in its life i should find a new DD (but I rent and only have so much space, no garage) so new cars just complicate things. As it is older though, I recognize its about that time as with my '67 GTO to maybe side step and find an alternative, but if i can keep driving it... I want to.   That said, I may just look into a local shop that might be able to, problem is the mechanic I work with has limited space as a mom and pop operation, and he's a busy busy man, so id need to find out if he can keep the car in the meantime, which may or may not be practical for him. Maybe I'll just buy one off jacks jdm and get that refurbed /shrug.. just looking at options and what others may have to offer for advice on the matter. Like I said, its hard finding people around here who actually have one, I've had mine 9 and a half years and I've met 3 others, and they are all military, one was oem from 95 with 30k miles (rip that car... guy got hit after someone crossed s double yellow, totaled it)
    • I've noticed my rear springs sag a bit compared to the fronts. I have stock springs and KYB struts. The front wheels are pretty consistent in their ride height, but compared to the front wheels, one of the rears sits 20mm lower, and the other 40mm lower. This negatively affects the ground clearance, and also angles the headlights up. What are some some economical options for new springs? Or information like good spring rates, lengths  in order to find a suitable replacement etc Far from lowering the car, I'd prefer to raise it a bit to keep it ground clearance friendly.
    • I searched for ages as well, I'm importing an engine to get the head off it.
