Oosh: your 'custom' display is getting sent out tomorrow, upon your approval :)

Impakt

PM sent.

Everyone, I'd just like to say what great help and how accomodating Impakt has been, very good person to deal with and highly recommended!

Can't wait to get my new toy to play with! :D

Oosh: I sent your display on NYE :D

Impakt

Arrived yesterday, thank-you, you've been a pleasure to deal with and a huge thanks for the modifications you made (at a very fair price) for me.

They're just what i was after and I'll post some pics when my install is finalised.

The unit was well packed and arrived in perfect working condition.

On a side note my dash clock no longer seems to work (doesn't display anything), with or without the unit plugged in, but i had to mess around and move part of my alarm install (which is an absolute disgrace) when plugging it in first time so i can't confidently atribute the problem to the Digidash.

Are you aware of any problems like this?

HIGHLY recommend people, great piece of kit, hopefully i'll get more time to play with it over the weekend.

Never heard of my display doing anything with the stock dashboard clock. Wiring wise they are unrelated.

Cool, prolly knocked summin loose myself, goddamn there's so many electrical taped wires under there! Not cool. :D

PS. I like the little clear top you added to the box, all finished nicely, sign of pro.

damn it looks good and i know you have put alot of time into it but its a bit pricey, probably costs around $50 max to make.

For $300 you can buy an Apexi RSM.

actualy it probably costs more than $50 to make cos i know that the consult connector costs $25 on its own..

I think if you sold it for cheaper you would sell lots lots more, making you more money.

But i do have to hand it to you, you have definatly put the time in, it is a very nice unit.

I just picked up one of these last night and i must say I am very impressed by Impakt's handywork.

Great little unit, very easy to use. I have it monitoring revs, speed, airflow sensors, throttle position sensor and temps on my GTR. Peak hold function is very cool also.

This weekend im going to try plugging in my laptop and see how that goes!!

Thus far, definately happy with the purchase. Thanks Impakt.

Actually the stock ECU in my car has an exhaust temp sensor, but the voltage for it never changes. I think it acts more like a switch though.

The NissDataScan's circuit board has a provision for up to 7 analogue inputs too. If you have an analogue sensor somewhere on the car and would like for it to show on the display, it can be done.

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
