I was looking at :

http://www.crystalfontz.com/products/2004a...#CFAH2004ATMIJP

but didnt want this type of blue screen, so asked them directly if this :

http://www.crystalfontz.com/products/1602l...#CFAH1602LTGHJP

type of colour screen was available in 20x4 .. and it is !!!!

hoorah !

below is the reply i had from them regarding it :

Obviously it does work out to be slightly pricey, but you get a screen that is a very close match to the standard dash colours. They are also just standard hd44780 lcd modules that are a direct replacement to impakts screens. Have a look at

http://www.crystalfontz.com/products/index-std.html

any of the 20x4 screens will be a direct replacement if you so wish, and would take about 15 mins to swap them over i rekkon...

Yotis: No idea whether it will work on the R34. AFAIK they have an OBD-II connector, and not sure if they support the CONSULT I protocol.

tang0: Glad you are happy. Atm i only have 1 left!

Update: I have ordered some more parts and will have 10 more displays ready to go in a couple of days. 3 or 4 people are already showing interest in this batch of 10 also.

If you wish to test it out on a GTT, PM me :)

From what I've seen yes it uses Consult-II as opposed to Consult-I but that's just for actually diagnosing codes and altering data on-board the ECU. But they both use the same base OBD-II language whcih should decode as normal.

Either way I think it's worth a shot just to plug it in and see.

BTW Ed where is the Consult connector in the 34? Just had a quick look around the fuse panela nd couldn't see it????

Should be below the little pocket compartment to the right of the steering column.

Let me know if you need me to take a pic.

Ahhh below the pocket..about the only place that I didn't look :P

I e-mailed Pete from PLMS developments, he said someone with an R34 has ordered one of the interfaces to try...so I'll let you know how it goes when he get's back to me.

Have you worked out yet how to pull the maps out of the ecu. I'm asking because I've got a r32 gtr mines chipped ecu (glued in chip) and I want to pull the map out of it and knock a little timming of the top rpm points and add a little fuel in the middle and burn a new chip and install it into a standard ecu. Cheaper than buying a pfc since I'm not upgrading inj, afm or turbs. Eeprom reader/writer is only $130 and the softwares free! All I need is the map off the mines.

Nice work thou. Its good to see your sussing it out!

Rowdyr32: Yes with my module, a laptop and the right software you will be able to read the Mines map out of the ECU. My display will work with the Mines Chip too..

The best all 'round program is called Nissan Data Scan, and its $25. THe author of this program can be contacted at [email protected]

    • So, if the headlights' cutoff behaviour (angles, heights, etc) are not as per 6.2.6.1.1 without automatic levelling, then you have to have to have automatic** levelling. Also, if the headlight does not have the required markings, then neither automatic nor manual adjusters are going to be acceptable. That's because the base headlight itself does not meet the minimum requirement (which is the marking). ** with the option of manual levelling, if the headlight otherwise meets the same requirements as for the automatic case AND can be set to the "base" alignment at the headlight itself. So that's an additional requirement for the manual case. So, provided that the marking is on the headlight and there is a local manual adjustment back to "base" on the headlight, then yes, you could argue that they are code compliant. But if you are missing any single one of these things, then they are not. And unlike certain other standards that I work with, there does not seem to be scope to prepare a "fitness for purpose" report. Well, I guess there actually is. You might engage an automotive engineer to write a report stating that the lights meet the performance requirements of the standard even if they are missing, for example, the markings.  
    • Vertical orientation   6.2.6.1.1. The initial downward inclination of the cut off of the dipped-beam to be set in the unladen vehicle state with one person in the driver's seat shall be specified within an accuracy of 0.1 per cent by the manufacturer and indicated in a clearly legible and indelible manner on each vehicle close to either headlamp or the manufacturer's plate by the symbol shown in Annex 7.   The value of this indicated downward inclination shall be defined in accordance with paragraph 6.2.6.1.2.   6.2.6.1.2. Depending on the mounting height in metres (h) of the lower edge of the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis of the dipped beam headlamp, measured on the unladen vehicles, the vertical inclination of the cut off of the dipped- beam shall, under all the static conditions of Annex 5, remain between the following limits and the initial aiming shall have the following values:   h < 0.8   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   0.8 < h < 1.0   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   Or, at the discretion of the manufacturer,   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The application for the vehicle type approval shall, in this case, contain information as to which of the two alternatives is to be used.   h > 1.0   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The above limits and the initial aiming values are summarized in the diagram below.   For category N3G (off-road) vehicles where the headlamps exceed a height of 1,200 mm, the limits for the vertical inclination of the cut-off shall be between: -1.5 per cent and -3.5 per cent.   The initial aim shall be set between: -2 per cent and -2.5 per cent.
