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

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
