Hey all, I'm in the market for a basic monitoring tool and wondering if the original OB-Link is still a viable option.

I'm mainly worried about any incompatibility with the newer Android releases. The app was last updated in 2015 and, from what I can see, only needs v2.1. No info or reviews on newer versions.

I've got a spare Xperia Z5 running v8 and was going to use it for Waze anyway rather than having another device like the GReddy Informeter Touch. I could go the ELM327 and Hobdrive or Torque route but can get the OB-Link for a good price so would prefer to go with that.

What's so special about the HKS one? What about a $30 one off ebay?

They were made to work with our cars comms, so they can display a lot more data, you can do data logging, fuel tracking etc.

Hobdrive does work with the cheap ones but a lot of the data display isn't configured.

      Yeah I heard the same. Might be hard to order one. But then I guess can go to hks or go to a more expensive n1 block with tomei. Guess will jump the hurdle once I get there next upgrade around. I can’t get work done in the states as the lead time will take for ever on top of shipping to Hong Kong.

      https://www.platinumracingproducts.com/en-us/products/nissan-rb26-cast-blocks This is the solution I was thinking of. I would stay away from Tomei USA, their quality is a question mark to me. If you want an engine machined in the US contact Club DSPORT: https://clubdsport.com/ Tomei JP is probably fine but I recall they stopped doing pre-assembled short or long blocks. In general it's pretty tough to get any kind of RB26 block at the moment with Nissan so severely backordered.

      PAR specifically offers stock ratios in their gearset and you could do whatever ratios are physically possible supposedly for no extra cost. I agree 6 ratios is better than 5, the factory 2nd gear is equivalent to the Getrag 2nd gear if you account for the differing final drive ratio though. The Getrag 3rd gear with a 3.916 final drive is equivalent to a 1.6 2nd gear in the FS5R30A. I'm about to swap the transmission out on my car, I'm tempted to send the one I have now out for rebuild with the standard "cross ratio" gearsets out there to see if it really makes such a big difference the next time I pull the transmission.

      This is what I was looking at next:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/engines/tomei/tomei-rb26-28l-short-block-assemblies-p-45479.html as we can’t bore the cylinders out in hk so better just buy the whole lot in one and install then retune. Everyone saying the weak link are the bolts holding the rods together. I already did valve springs, arp head bolts, hks racing coils, nismo fuel pumps and pressure regulators, injectors etc for the top of the engine.
