Hello everyone,

I have recently built a device for the stock nissan ecu. Attached is a (crappy) picture taken with my phone.

It plugs into the Consult diagnostic port and displays 8 sensors in realtime. This means that CA18 vehicles will not work with this as they dont have a consult port.

The sensors/data it can display are:

rpm

speed

afm voltage

injector pulse width

injector duty cycle

coolant temp

ignition timing

tps voltage

absolute tps position (%age)

EGT voltage (if supported by ecu)

o2 sensor voltage

AAC position (%age)

battery voltage

Lean/Rich Indicator

Flags (On/off indicators for: Closed TPS, A/C Relay, A/C Compressor, Fuel pump, start switch, VTC solenoid, thermo fans, and a few others.

The device also has a serial port so you can connect your laptop to it and potentially log the data. You can also read the stock maps from the ecu with a laptop. And no, you cant tune the ecu with this! It also has a peak-hold function, so it will remember the max rpm, duty cycle, pulse width, afm voltage, water temp etc, and store it in memory for recall later...

I will soon make orders for more parts, but wanted to gauge interest (if any) so i can work out how many of each part i should order. Of course, the more parts i buy, the cheaper it gets.

Currently the device looks to cost around the $300 mark, that includes the proper consult connector, and laser cut front panel.

Anyone interested?

Sounds like a good idea - would they be cheaper to make if you can just get it to output to a serial/usb connection so we can use directly with laptops? may make it cheaper thats all

which model skyline ECU's does it work with?

I'm certainly not trying to rain on your parade because I reckon this thing looks tops... just like a Motec type dash.

Blitz now have a item like the Apex'i RSM which plugs straight into the ecu plug and does a similar thing.

I would if PowerFC users can use this? No?

Sorry power fcs wont work with this. It works with the standard nissan diagnostic port, which i bet isnt supported with the power fc.

The thing will cost less without the LCD and that but i built this because i for one cant afford to have a laptop in the car all the time.

It does have an rs232 port so you can easily plug one in and start logging, sucking out stock rom maps etc.

It sounds good..

But a lot of that information like people are saying is readily available in aftermarket ECU. Even the S-AFC will display REVS, AFM voltage, o^2, and TPS -- and readily had for $400 now plus of course the adjustment factor. Its not everything your device looks like being able to display though. Will be useful for tuners I'd imagine.

Sorry power fcs wont work with this. It works with the standard nissan diagnostic port, which i bet isnt supported with the power fc.

The pFC is a full replacement, so yes, it does monitor all that (and probably more). Well it has to, to drive the car! In fact it does away with the total diagnostic port altgoether which is just for the stock ECU.

don't want to kick anyone in the balls here, but i think this is a great idea for stock ecus,

and although SAFC is ok you can't really connect it up and data log. so although its only $400 it doesn't do a great deal (almost a bandaid solution). so i think what impakt has developed is fantastic cos i know my microtech although its only $1200, by the time it got fireware upgraded (to support engine) + dash, + Software, + cable and dongle it was well over $2K. not tuned.

just a question, do these work with say and SR20?? i know tonnes of tuners out there that would kill for something like this in their cars (know a guy who writes maps and makes daughter boards for SRs).

cheers

Update:

Sorry, AFAIK the ECU doesnt support knock display through Consult, so my device wont be able to display it.

There is a lead time of around 19 weeks on the connector so I would like to see if there is anyone out there interested (pref. in Sydney) in a version without the connector to start. People who buy without the connector can have the device for $250 and I will supply the connector later on, if production goes ahead.

Also, I would like these people who get the device without the connector to help test and give feedback on the software. So far I have had it running since Christmas and I believe I have ironed out most bugs. Sydney people are preferred so I can update the software if I need to.

The device should work on any car with a consult connector, so far I have had it going fine on an S13, and on my U13 bluebird attesa. Other cars are most welcome to be tested!

Anyone interested? A link to a picture of my prototype is at http://sr20.net/gallery/albums/Misc/abp.jpg top pic shows the peak hold values, bottom show current values. If you look closely at the afm voltage (af1) you can see the voltage was just about to change – look at the last digit.

If you would like more information or would like to help me test the device please email me at [email protected]

Hi All,

The device is ready to go! I have organised all the parts to make 10. I also have the proper Nissan Consult connectors.

Final price is $300, and if you are in Sydney i would like to test it on your car first to make sure the device can read out as much as your ecu can support.

I have tested it on a pulsar gti-r, bluebird attesa, and r33 skyline gts4. More details in the for sale section.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
