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 : [email protected] 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 [email protected] 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

  • 2 weeks later...

ive got mine, its tops. im using nissandatascan from tomasz k(something)

$25 australian, works well. heaps of diags and tests and real time monitoring and logging

i can do screen captures if you wanna see it

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?

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
