I hope thats the case :)

I don't really understand the diagram, which bit is existing and which bit needs to be done?

Yes

Essentially you build this device, plug it into your lappy, run some software, which can be gotten for free, just google it, and start monitoring / logging data ..

tbh, I have ordered one of the consult port boxes impakt is selling over at this thread :

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ghlight=consult

as i want to be able to view diag info on the fly, not have to look down at the laptop for info while driving. This device also does have the serial port as part of it.

But this serial device would be VERY cheap to build ...

if anyone is interesed I'd be happy to knock a few of them up, I have all the pcb etching stuff to hand, and most of the components ...

email me to : barry@host32.com if you would like one, and i'll work out some costs.

Cheers

Yes

If anyone would like me to build this, I can... for a small cost of course ...

Impakt has something similar for sale but its the whole package, built in display etc, this would be a nice cheap way of reading / logging data from your std ecu with your lappy ...

if anyone is interested, mail me at barry@host32.com and i'll start building one in the mean time

cheers

Rough price will be around the $100 ish mark ...

Still am in the process of moving house and doing lots of rennovation, so cant spend as much time on it as I want, but am working on it all the spare time I get.

Just waiting for some components to arrive at the moment, as soon as they arrive I'll be cutting the pcb, I have the design mostly done ...

As soon as I have a working prototype i'll make a post into the for sale section, until then, if anyone wants to contact me directly, i'll be happy to chat about them.

cheers

I have no clue about holdens, I only just moved to Aus from the UK at the end of last year, and over there, a 3.8 v6 is a HUGE engine capacity, we do have similar cars (vauxhall omega), but they only come with a 2.0 4 cyl std, a 2.5 v6, with the real high top spec ones being 3.0 v6

anyway, i'm still waiting for some components to arrive, will post results as and when I have them

Yes I would. Free Conzult is mostly for 300zx and to buy it is a few hundred. My interface is slightly different, using a different clock generator but the frequency is the same, so should be sweet. I like their idea for Rx / Tx LED's ;)

What do you use to connect it to the consult socket?

      You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?

      Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
