Hi guys, this stuff came out of a car I recently bought and I have no need for it as I don't take things that seriously. They are a Motec timing beacon and a Motec dash with loom. I'm not sure what features are on the dash but knowing the previous owner of the vehicle I'd suggest it's loaded with all options (I'll investigate this with Motec and the last owner before selling them). I've never used them but they came off a fully prep'ed Targa car and were ll working fine as of the last TT.

So, my questions are what do I have, what are they worth and how best do I go about selling them (aside from this forum)?

Thanks.

Without knowing the full specs of the dash, it is hard to put a price on it. have a look at the Motec website as I believe that there is a way that you can find out exactly how the dash is configured using the serial number of the unit. IIRC, you have to email the number to a certain address.

eek...made to sell it out of your car. Good things to have and understand if you are racing the 996. I am betting the dash will be worth about 5k with loom and sensors etc....2nd hand they dont seem to get much cheaper then 3.5-4k even for the lower spec units.

Keep it! :)

what's this mean then? :) 'eek...made to sell it out of your car.' It's out of the car and it'll be a palava getting it back in. It's not back lit and given my car sees road work too, this is a pain. It's getting sold!

if you have a modern ecu (motec, haltch, auronic...etc) the dash can be fed data via the CAN bus. Only needs 1 plug for power and data. I run all m sensors into my Haltec, and display and log it on the dash.

those dashes are the ducks nuts. can you option in backlighting after purchasing it? motec like doing stuff like that.

sorry...mad , not made :) If you are selling it then I will swap you the Motec setup for an old VDO boost gauge and speedo

I just checked under the hood and there is no turbo, so it's the speedo and cash my way.

You bought a GT3? Awesome!

Yeah, I did Steve. It's a great car but let me tell you the common garden variety GTR stacks up very well against it. Very well indeed. It's only when you compare the GTR to a car like this you realise how great they are. I'm yet to punt the GT3 around PI and Sandown as fast as my 300kw GTR.....

I'm yet to call MoTeC but as soon as I know what I've got and done some further research on pricing I'll post up all details.

Well done!

GT3's are stacks of fun. I know what you mean about comparing it against a GTR but I think 9/10 people would rather have the porka over a datto :)

Got any pics?

Are you scrapping the GTR build for targa and using the GT3 instead or is te GTR still happening?

Well it's an older model ADL with 1mb of data logging and 30 IOs. I visited MoTeC this arvo and got it checked out. By the time I left I decided not to sell it. They said to replace the current set up new would be circa $15k and that mine was still pretty useful. I got a full demo of the data logging capabilities and at that point I wanted to keep it. I'll post up if I change my mind.

As an aside it was an impressive facility and the tech support guy I spoke with was very enthusiastic and helpful and free with his time. I suspect this product is well supported.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
