i have the PLMS device.. it is worth what you get.. and when they have stock is takes only a few days to get here.

considering there are not many placesthat make them PLMS seems to be the best.

the pga forums (pulsar.org.au) had some guys in WA selling them. ive made a few for the interested on silviansw forums. you can find most of the stuff you need from jaycar and make it yourself if your good with electronics, have a lot of spare time and can track down a consult connector (or hard wire it)

as for the software in the original post, ill check it out soon, more free alternatives the better!

okay got a converter and tried it out last night, i felt so Fast&Furious driving around with the laptop in my car :) but some comments (please note this is the only software i've used so far):

* The user interface is rubbish and confusing.

* The ROM dump most certainly doesn't take 11 mins, after 11 mins i wasn't even 10% complete.

* The auto ECU detect worked fine for my RB20DET.

* The logging does its job, i was supprised at how often it sampled but many consecutive readings were the same at ALL variables so i kinda question if it was an update or a copy of teh previous.

* The application doesn't exit properly, after you close it it leaves a process called "Consult" running which muck you up if you open TECU again.

On the whole i think it's a promising product and above all it's free but it has a way to go yet, simple things like using check-boxes when it should be radio buttons, the UI REALLY let it down and is so important.

i also have some settings.dat error message on startup.

always happens until you run it and save-settings.

also you need to download the 1.7Mb zip at the top of the thread THEN replace the default exe with f revision exe (~400kb). I got the f by itslef and it confused teh crap outta me.

I have a tutorial online to make the consult interface (with genuine consult connector) - based on the PLMS design.

Also have another one on how to make the connector from ATX plug (The tutorial on tangentrix is a little confusing in some parts)

DIY Connector : HERE

Consult Interface : HERE

I have the genuine (and rare) consult port connectors for sale as well if you're not confident enough that the DIY connector will do the job

      BNR34 identify this connector please

      By bigboss59400 · Posted

      that is correct to be more precise, this sensor goes to a loom which contains only the flat blade single terminal (to connected to this sensor) and then the connector shown in my first post. This loom is tied up to one of engine hairness

      Farewell Neil.....hope the tracks are awesome where you are going

      By Victory · Posted

      This is really sad news to hear and it has taken me a few days to come to grips with the loss of Neil.  Neil was very straight forward and I have always respected his honesty and how he called it how it was.  He was a very knowledgeable man and was always available to provide advice when you needed help to solve a problem because he would have encountered the same issue in the past and could explain how he solved it.  Neil will be missed by many members of the Skyline family.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Dropped the car down to my mates shop on the 19th to get it on the dyno. Ran the motor in and dropped the running in oil and filter and filled it up with some engine oil.  Monday arvo I went down and we got a tune in her. Had a fun time trying to get it to hook up on the rollers. We end up having to roll into the throttle, reaching full throttle at around 6k. Made 23psi on gate then tapered off to 20psi up the top and spat out a healthy 700rwhp.  We had a slight voltage issue which was dropping ecu volts to around 11.8v so we called it quits and on Tuesday I went down and ran a couple of new power feeds to the ECU and DBW relays. Have yet to test it as we were trying to get things sent into the ECU from the TCU over CAN. We've now got oil temp, programme switch and gear position. Still working on gearbox speed, but have been told what to do so hopefully that will sort it. Once we've got speed working, we can start setting up the gear shift cuts and do some clutch adaptations in the TCU.  Should have the majority of it setup this week and go over the tune to see how it is now with the new power wire.  Was slack this time, didnt get any full runs as I was watching the TCU data on the laptop.

      Power Steering Fluid Leaking Consistently

      By silviaz · Posted

      Not until I googled it, now I remember lol. Seems like it's just to clean it up. But it doesn't stop the leak, I have a leak issue though? Thinking whether I need a new bottle, surely not lol.
