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!

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
