Ok so I'm thinking about getting the defi advance zd club sports package plus a boost gauge to plug into it and got a few questions for those with experience.

How does the zd tap into rpm and speedo signals?

Where is the speedo wire in an r33 gtst? Where does it run to, from and through what parts of the car does it run?

If I'm using an ecutalk box or nistune to correct my speedo signal (for big rims, diff ratio etc) and assuming that the zd taps off the speedo wire, will it read the corrected speed, or stay with the incorrect original speed?

I know that the ecutalk box plugs into consult, but how does it modify the speedo signal if the speedo doesnt go through the ecu? or does one of the consult wires go straight to the speedo?

Basically what I want, is to be able to have my defi zd hooked up, and to have it display the corrected speed on both the speedometer and the zd display.

One more thing; if you buy say a boost gauge to plug into the advance control unit, does it come with the boost sensor? Or do they expect you to fork out another 200 bucks for the sensor, because that would make the price about 500 bucks per gauge, which is ridiculous.

Hope this is the right section, couldn't find anything else regarding electronics.

Cheers

Yes they all come with the sensors and a manual. you'll need the control unit for them to all work. Trust me You won't regret buying them. I've got the water temp, oil pressure and the boost gauge and then I've got the greddy informer to read the rest.

      The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
