Couple more questions, thought this'd be a better spot for it, share the info. and avoid clogging your PM inbox Impakt.

1. What are physical dimensions of the screen?

2. How difficult would it be, for some one with moderate skills, to solder a ribbon cable between the box and screen (say ~30cm length)?

2a. Would the above detrimentally effect the units operation?

The above comes about from the desire to mount the screen in a small space necessitating it's detachment from the box.

3. What's the feasibility of having the display all come up backwards, mirrored, so it could be placed on the dash and used as a Heads-Up-Display?

A switch to choose between Normal/Mirror would be IDEAL!

4. How would, or could, you go about dicking with the speed signal? I ask because i have an auto diff (4.3:1) in a manual car (normally 4.11:1 diff) so my speedo is out, this way i could have an accurate reading.

Good questions Oosh,

1. The physical dimensions of the screen (PCB) is 98mmx60mmx~15mm. THe actual LCD part is smaller.

2. To remotely mount the LCD is not that hard, as long as you know what you are doing. Im happy to sell a display with the LCD and case seperate, so you can mount as you wish. Its 12 wires between the LCD and PCB, so a decent ribbon cable should do the trick. I would recommend you letting me know if you want to remote mount the LCD, that way i wont solder it on in the first place (and create extra work for you).

2a. Won't affect operation at all, just shield the ribbon cable to reduce noise.

3. A super bright VFD or LED module could be used for HUD. LCD will never be bright enough to be used as a HUD.

4. Not possible without re-programming the device, which im happy to do (at a small cost). Just tell me how much you need it tweaked by, and i'll write the code to do it.

Good questions Oosh,

Thanks for your answers, if you COULD leave my LCD unattached, i think i will give this a go but please include the wires you would use just in case i decide to go back to stock.

As for speed, it'd need to be altered by a factor of 0.95, i.e. display 95kmh when it's detecting it as 100kmh.

Some further questions:

1. Just how small a fee? :thumbsup:

2. Could i keep the original speed variable? i.e. have a Speed1 and Speed2 var.

3. Will either option (modified or 2 vars) effect compatibility with any of the softwares esp. data loggers?

Cheers.

Found this case at Prime Electronics here in Bridbane.

 

Did a quick transplant and used some smaller push buttons. Guess I just can't help dicking around with things...

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Should have asked what is the car?

      Blue slip

      By PranK · Posted

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
