exactly my feelings, aznprick2c (lol crazy name)

I want everyone to PM me with Names, addresses, and phone numbers, and email address (lol so I don't have to spend too much $$'s making calls lol). Everyone on the list. I will confirm I have full contact with everyone and then start talking to the supplier, and see how we are going to make the payment.

I will probably just take all payments, and then contact the supplier with a large lump sum, and the number of orders, and a list of addresses, and the what goes where etc.

If anybody has a problem with this, please let me know.

In my reply PM, I will supply my phone numbers, email address, msn address (I'm always on there) etc etc so that you know that you have full contact with me and know that I am a trust worthy source.

I will put it straight forward, I am NOT a shonky dealer \ person.

I just want a datalogit to tune my car and run 250rwkw+ lol.

anyway, START SENDING ME PM's PLEASE. THE SOONER THE BETTER.

If anyone else is interested, you have very little time left to do it.

Datalogic software is pretty flakey even when used on a laptop with a true serial port ( I have several vesrions, legitametley bought here in the UK). On a port adaptor using USB you add a further unreliability factor in. On the dyno the other day I tried 4 laptops with true serial ports before i could get a reliable map tracer cursor function, and even then it died occassionally. I can get no reponse from Dtalogitregarding this, and their members only user forum hasn't had any offcial Datalogit input for a long time. It's very frustrating. I am tempted to buy the legit Apexi Pro software and dongle, but a pal is having trouble loading it, there ar all sorts of tricks needed to load it on a none Japanese Windows PC. I have it loaded on my UK PC, without a dongle, and it is a LOT, LOT more powerful than Datalogit, if I can eventaull access its full functionality. I can post screen shots if someone wants to see them. I am trying to buy a datalogit interface box for the 2JZ-GTE Supra, with no success, it's frustrating not being able to spend money with Datalogit...

See my later thread re Jap verion of Power FC software. This FC Tune looks interesting, I assume it's not actually on sale with the interface box yet, though? Cheers.

What sort of functionality improvements do you get? Are they practical, useable features, or technical aspects that might chew up time and dyno $$ while you make tuning changes?

Are the Datalogit guys in cruise and collect mode, or is there some reason they aren't contributing to solving problems their customers may have? FWIW, this forum has plenty of examples where members post questions that have been asked/answered many times, but they don't use the search function first.

Not stirring, just looking for a view point.

cheers

Chis Wilson, it may be the laptops ? What type are they ? We have had endless problems at work with a few laptops and their serial ports running various programs. We have now updated to Dell D800 series and they are flawless. I have run the DataLogit on the Del without a problem.

guys, I am still waiting on people to PM me their details so I can finish my spreadsheet and start taking payments for the group buy.

Once the spreadsheet is complete, I am going to post it up (minus the contact details) and make sure you all have the correct gear listed. THEN I will take payments, and as soon as the last payment is made I will place the order with benson motorsports.

Get cracking! I'm expecting a lot of PM's at the end of the day.

I want -

Real Name

Phone numbers

Address

Car Model

PowerFC Version

Email address

Thanks

    • Haha nice, my kids are the same two older boys say cars are boring while younger girls like them. My 1.5yo daughter watches D1GP on YouTube with me, holding a toy plate for steering wheel and making brmm brmm noises
    • Took the car out to see if it still starts, sure does. Daughter wanted to for a spin too, she loves it when it doses, also cries when we come home and try to take her out of the baby seat 🥲  I actually put the seat in for her brother, but he absolutely hates the shitbox. Anyhow, so after looking at real boats, and transoms, bait tanks etc. and scupper valves attached to them, I came up with ideas to improve the catch can. The primary goal was to stop the interior smelling like vented catch can shit when the windows are down OR when the HVAC is not recirculated. My catch can has a sump drain/feed at the bottom, 2x cam cover inlets, 1x outlet back to the intake pipe and 1x vent at the top. The initial theory was at idle, and off boost there would be just enough suction from the intake pipe (pre turbo) to pull back any smelly shit from the catch can before it could escape out of the vent (which does have 1x layer of foam and a fine mesh screen on top). It kind of works, however on hot days, the motor is breathing more than the suction provided from the intake pipe (pre turbo) and there's a bit of vapours escaping (not a bit amount, but enough to piss me off). I could have just sealed off the vent, however it would mean each time I take it to the track or decide to drive it with a bit of enthusiasm, I would need to remove the seal. To address this, using scupper valve idea, I used a 3mm sheet of rubber and cut essentially a valve that requires a bit of pressure to crack open and vent. Took the shit box for a drive today, came back and parked the car. No heavy stench, great success ☺️ I still would swap for a F80 LCI or W204 2012+ C63 AMG, if anyone is keen 😅
    • I'm with Kinkstaah on this one. Do it once, do it right. So much better for your mental health. The sneaky thing about the fuel pump wiring is that it will work perfectly fine for the longest time. Until that one moment when it decides to shit the bed. And it's not worth the paranoia from not trusting the car anymore. At least other mechanical issues announce themselves by developing some noise or other warning. If you have the funds, I'd suggest to go with a good kit like Frenchys and get the work done by a trustworthy shop. No regrets there. The only downside to the Frenchys kit on the Stagea/R32 GTR is that their fuel level sender is not on point. But looks like the R33 kit maintains the factory sender so should not be an issue. This is what the botched setup on my Stagea looked like before it stopped working. It had melted its way quite a distance down. Glad it didn't burn down the car.   Some links I came across when I looked for solutions: Radium sells a DIY wiring kit that looks promising. I didn't buy it though, I let my workshop decide on wiring. https://www.prospeedracing.com.au/products/radium-diy-fuel-pump-hard-wiring-kit-17-0031 https://www.radiumauto.com/DIY-Fuel-Pump-Wiring-Kit-P368.aspx   You can also get cheap replacements for the locking ring depending on how mangled it looks: https://www.kudosmotorsports.com/Nissan-17343-79900-Fuel-Tank-Outlet-Locking-Ring-for-Nissan-S14-S15-BNR32-R33-R34-AWC34 There are tools for unscrewing it as well so you don't have to abuse it with a screwdriver and mallet. The Frenchys one is expensive but I'm sure there are cheaper ones.
