with your usb/serial adaptor you should have drivers that come with it, that when installed will make a virtual com port (usually com4). is the issue that its not showing up as a com port at all? or that its showing up as somelike like com5+?

see attached image about how i can change my settings with my one via the control panel->system (device manager) thing, if thats what you're after

the com port dropdown (in calumsult) should list available com ports in it?

The usual painful com port problems, I never have any joy with them.

Have to restart the laptop every time I try something, so time consuming.

Plus the batery is now flat.

I can't get the Calumsult to see the ECU. Just to check that the interface is working OK, I have;

Solid red LED

Bright yellow LED until engine is running, then it goes dull, with an accasional flash

Green flashes at all times when the engine is running

:P cheers :D

once ive confirmed more are available (hopefully tonight or tomorrow), just pm me when ur sure about order - payment is as stated in the first post, either bank deposit or paypal - if u dont use internet banking then u can go into whichever bank is more convenient (stg/anz, let me know in pm) and ask to deposit money into the account (with details i give you).

then ill normally get the money by the next day (as long as its done before end of previous business day) and can normally send it out that day (or the next) and you should receive it the following day (if ur inside express post network). advantage of paypal is its instant and would mean if its done early enough in the day, that i can send it out that day

2 will be $94 (if sent to same address) or $97 with paypal

theoretically (and checking with a bench ecu):

red on, green/yellow off (doing yellow wire bypass in construction)

open calumsult, choose com4 and click open com port - yellow and green flash then go back off (getting ecu number)

switch to gauges screen, turn switch to on, and yellow flashes once, then green is on constantly

some more kits are available now, see the main post

my brothers gonna have a shot at constructing some, if that goes well then assembled ones will be available for those who dont wish to construct them themselves - no promises yet though (depends how long they take to construct etc). if that goes ahead, id guess around $70 for those

thanks! thats just what i always wanted :(

now if only i had a consult capable car! (im casually looking at the moment now for something cheap with a consult capable sr20det/rb20det so i can get some more exciting projects going)

I'd like a pre-constructed one ASAP please, when/if you can organise it. I am happy to pay a little extra if you can get it to me very soon :) Thanks.

Thanks for the extra bits, it now works perfectly.

:) cheers :D

ive got a new group buy thread for a limited number of assembled interfaces. at this stage i hope to have 10 available, but obviously demand for these vs kits will determine how many of the 20 (in which 10 are listed as up to number 32. here) will be available for each

ive added u to list in that thread, ill let u know when the first is available, should be sometime this week. if you want to make payment before its confirmed (one is ready, but needs cable done), then pm me with bank preference (if any) and ill pass on dd details.

my pre-made consult arrived today - not even 24 hours after ordering it. Amazing service, and an amazing product. Awesome work!!!! EVERYBODY NEEDS one of these!

sent a couple more out today, only a few left now.

note that after 33., there may be up to 2 more, but then thats it - ive got no plans at this stage of extending the group buy any further.

excellent to hear!

seems i underestimated everyone here, as i guessed that maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of the people who get a kit would have some issue with construction they wouldnt be able to figure out, but overall its gone quite well :D

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
