2. How much extra for USB dongle?

[paulr33]

[aznprick2c]

do we have enough yet, can we get this group buy going, and everyones money to order these,

the sooner the better.

thanks kim

[The Mafia]

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.

I've changed some of the criteria to honor SAU's rules.

Get cracking people!

I have updated the very first post of this thread with some guidlines.

[Bl4cK32]

The guy gave you a discount for less than 10, then a price for 11-14...what if we get 15 + people...any more of a discount?

[The Mafia]

i was thinking the same thing. we need 16 people first!

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.

FC Tune is available. You can get it from www.nengun.com for $500

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

Here's a screenshot of one of the menus, as an example.

[paulr33]

and thats the one that came with the fc command pro package?

[MountainRunner]

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
