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

      S1 headlights?

      By Duncan · Posted

      It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair

      S1 headlights?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It’ll be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol

      R34 engine swap Rb25de neo to s1 Rb25det

      By WMDC35 · Posted

      If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.

      THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
