Selling a Tech Edge wide band meter.

Cheap and fun way to tune your own car or just to keep an eye on those A/F ratios.

Accuracy to within 0.1 which is plenty for street use.

See all the details here: http://wbo2.com/2j/2j1.htm

Connect to your laptop with the free software and monitor RPM, both knock sensors and A/F ratios. Only requires 3 wires to be connected to your ECU loom.

Cost me over $400 last year and has only done a few hundred kms. Im selling car and putting original ECU back in so this has to go.

Will sell for $250 firm. I will include registered postage to anywhere in Australia.

going off the picture there is no sensor and the rj45 plug has been cut off is this correct and its last years model which they no longer sell...

So I would need ot get a new bosch sensor, replace the rj45 connector and it should be right to go?

did you install this yourself, how hard is the install and do you need any software to hook it up to a laptop?

did you hook it up to your ecu at all? which ECU?

Sorry I should have mentioned that the sensor is still in the car. I need to jack it up to remove it and just havent got around to that yet. So YES the sensor is included. Can post a pic up as soon as I get it out.

I havent cut any plugs off. The grey wire you see with no end is the connections for the ECU. You just strip back the outer cover to get at the wires. There is another connector to attach your laptop with I havent included in the pic but here is a pic of it from the Tech Edge website. You either have the Display plugged in or the laptop into the grey wire with the black thingy on the end.

I installed it myself, was fairly straight forward. You need to find a wiring diagram for your ECU so you know which wires to tap into to. I was using it on a Power FC on my R33 GTSt. I tapped into the RPM, and both knock sensors, plus you get the A/F ratio from the sensor, so on the laptop I was graphing 4 inputs.

Software I used was free and available from the Tech Edge website. Have a look here: http://wbo2.com/sw/log.htm

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
