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
