man $u.s 500 is almost wat i payed for the fc  

f**d if ima pay that..........

dude is asking a bit much

In the value for money stakes, the Datalogit was (and still is) one of the best value buys I made for ours. We use it on the 2 X GTR's, the R32 GTST and the R33 GTST. That said I still have a Commander as well.:P

haha I ain't gonna market a funky special dongle. I already reprogram my R32 ECU, when I get around to making myself a dongle I'll use it myself and whoever wants to try it out. Its not gonna have a gurantee, and it sure as hell ain't gonna be legal since it uses proprietory Apexi software. I've never offered it as an alternative to a Datalogit either.

Now I'm no genius but I know one when i meet one!  

We will call him "Mr. X" for the time being...  

Mr. X has an FD (gen 3 FD3S RX7) with a Power FC. His hobbies are drag racing and number crunching.  

"Mr. X" decided he needed data logging if he was going to get his "stock" FD to do any better than his best 12.2 1/4 mile time.  

So Mr. X built the "FC-Box" interface, wrote a lot of software software, "FC-Edit" and, with a combination of logging runs and fine tuning his FD and optimizing his driving style he got his best 1/4 down to an 11.6.  

Well, it wasn't quite that simple and it took a lot of development time too, but it can be easy for you because "Mr. X" and I have put the whole system into one easy to use package we call "FC-Datalogit".

Now, lets see, there's a dude in Japan named Kashi, who developed a prototype board that allows you to use Power Excel software with a Power FC. He happens to own an FD... and *gasp shock horror* he notes in his online diary that he got his PB down to 11.6 :P

So basically the datalogit and the prototype board are one and the same. Any monkey can come up with a frontend for the software given enough time, then hardcode the software with specific models and sell it.

I just don't have the time to do it...

I'm sure someone else can.

Oh and don't bug him for the software either... there is no link to it on his website for a reason. He WILL NOT send it to you no matter how much you beg and plead as he dosen't want to be caught up in legalities with the software. If you really want it that badly do a search on the forums and find the thread where doughboy linked to it :P

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
