guys, i have been in touch with crystalfontz about this ...

here is what i found...

I use their software on my pc to display motherboard monitor stats, all very useful, and works perfectly with any hd44780

anyway ...

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...

here is the mail :-

Please let me know if you have any questions.

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!

Ah ok.. if anyone from gold coast or brisbane area purchases one from you impakt, could you forward my enquiry to them? Would b interested to see if it works with my car. :cheers:

Cheers,

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 NissanDataScan@yahoo.com

    • Yeah, I still don't know why the idle speed control can't catch the falling RPMs. In the Consult logs I see the AAC duty cycle rising, but suddenly it goes lean and the engine stalls. Anyways, the relevance here is the DW 550cc injectors are probably the same. So if OP has similar issues I would be tempted to finger those injectors as problematic for whatever reason vs the ECU failing for some reason.
    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
