just to verify... it will work with stock ecu'd R32GTST?

does it come with PC software? or is that still in development? and will we get the software when u are done? OR can u supply RS232 interface spec as I can then write my own interface (we interface to patient monitors at work we've written about 20 serial interfaces)

yes it will work with r32 gtst, it says so in the manual!

im not writing any pc software, there are already programs out there (srtalk, conzult free) that do everything you need anyway.

RS232 interface spec is available online too, to help you write your own pc programs.

Just thought I'd let you know that I took a few pics of device working in my car and posted a quick review. I'll add some more once I finalize my laptop-logging configuration.

Find it at:

Just got mine in the mail today. Top marks to Daren on this piece of gear.

For those of you who were wanting a prettier looking version (I was one) I have to say that the pictures do not do the unit justice. It looks bloody nice in real life. If only it was 2mm narrower and would fit in the ashtray cutout I would be 100% happy. Guess I will have to be satisfied with 99.5%

Don't think about it... BUY ONE.

Even if the ecu is piggybacked this will still work. The brand of the LCD is displaytech from memory.

tang0: I havent received any mail from you yet!

PTR33: Thanks for the feedback :) Many people are happier with it once they actually see the unit.

Yeah all LCD manufacturers make 20x4 lcd screens with similar (if not the same) size PCBs, so a screen from any manufacturer will work.

You have to remember though that places like matrixorbital and crystalfontz add their own serial interfaces to the screens, which you will need to remove to work with my module.

Also, those places like to sell their screens at $100+ AUD. Do you want a different backlight that bad?

Hey any idea wether this will work on a r34 gtt? The manual indicated that it may work..... If it works with a R34 GTT Triptronic I would get one also.. :) I'm located on gold coast so if anyone has one on gold coast or in brisbane and willing to let me try it out.. PM me.. :(

Almost forgot.. this devices is definitely read-only right? :rofl:

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
