I haven't seen anything here about the Link Display unit. I have just bought one and will give a little report when I have had a chance to have a play with it but I just want to give a heads up for anyone considering buying one that they can be had at a good price here:

Link do not approve of their dealers discounting but I think this is a dealer unloading some excess stock. I paid NZ$720 for mine (they are usually over $1000) and there are 2 or three more for sale. They will fit Link or Vipec ecus.

Pretty good price.

What would be the benefit of using that over a Windows Tablet to do the same job?

Not sure - I am not particularly computer literate and I don't have a lap top or a tablet and Link Display just plugs in and away you go. It has mounting facility on the back and I plan to use it to reduce the number of gauges I have ( as well as for logging afrs and injector flows etc). Will put up a few pics when I have time.

You probably find that the supplier is thinning down his stock now that Link/ViPec are offering the Race Technology Dash 2 as a direct plug in for their ECU's, I get the feeling they will stop making the Display Link at some stage.

Possibly but that dash will probably be at least $500 more!

Link are dropping that display unit as it didnt do very well at all.

They have now teamed up with an Australian dash company. Similar dash to a racepak etc.

Race Technology Dash 2 is a UK made item. Nothing wrong with the Link unit apart from the price so I am happy with my discounted one. The Race Technology Dash is more suited for track cars and is already used with the Link in the NZ Supertourers.

since Link is supposed to be compatible with the other brands of display...maybe u can consider others? like motec's? :D

btw...anyone knows if motec's SLM is compatible with the Link G4+ or Vipec?

It looks like the new Link+ & Vipec 'i' series have OBD2 capabilities.

I'm not 100% if this trickles down to the plugin units, but reading the Link page it looks that way.

Opens up the possibilities of using common place OBD2 data display units :)

I spoke to the Motec guys at WTAC in Sydney not long ago, they said it was.

I'm running a Racepak IQ3 with my ViPec.......but with the amount of shagging around I had to do to make it work, I would recommend just getting a Race Tech Dash 2 as it is just plug and play.

not just simple CAN bus connection?

for the SLM... motec controls it via software with table... does the vipec software have this?

Yes the LEDs on my Display Link can be programmed for a shift light so the Link/Vipec software does have that capability.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
