if you can find one with the right voltage and input i dont see why not

look in the PFC faq in my sig, someone found a suitable screen replacement on the rx7 forums

Better yet, get a Datalogit. Use a laptop and full size screen, and access further capabilities of the ECU.

this man is correct.

The laptop tuning side of things makes the job 1000 times easier. Seriously.

I agree that the datalogit makes it easier to dyno, but i dont want to have a laptop sitting in the car all the time. It would be good to be able to display 2 or 4 gauges on a smallish screen for easy viewing when driving.

it would be good if you get an rsm style screen for the PFC and plug it in

then you could choose between digital guages, didgital output and have it closer to the driver. the rsm is ace, if only it could show knocking

yeah ive got a busted 26 controller here

actually ive just looked at the unit in the powerfc FAQ and it looks the same as the one used in the hand controller ive got open here on my desk

the one inside the FC controller has a 20 pin connector with A and C on the right hand side like the one on the site here

http://graphic-lcd-lcds.shopeio.com/invent...b=Graphic%20Lcd

i didnt realise they had a common 20 pin connector, i thought all the crap on the back was part of the FC

it appears all the crap behind it is the logic for the LCD display. ace ill order one of those screens (out of stock) and wire it up to my working 25 controller

i wanna put it on a safc stand and have it next to my rsm, so that knock is more visible

But instead of using ECUTalk, run the PFC software on the laptop with readouts on the indash screen and only pull the laptop out for tuning purposes :laugh:

the main board for the LCD display has 3 chips on the back

all hitachi chips with

5L1

HD 5

61202TFIA

Japan

The board has SII with a black dot

also has E91964 340 in white print

REV B

G1216

B1N (in a white box)

on the underside of the backlit display i can see

020596 in big black numbers

and in small gold numbers i can see D2161

ok ive just realised

the part no the FC board is G1216

the part on the seiko site is

Seiko 128x64

G121621V000

so it sounds like the same unit

let me order one n see how we go :laugh:

The lcd needs to have the exact same controller or an equivalent as the original LCD otherwise the instruction set will be wrong and you won't get anything at all.

Because the original LCD is 128x64, you can't go any higher in resolution without going to a different controller. You might be able to go up in size but keep the same resolution but not by much.

Only way I can see you getting a larger display would be to figure out the powerFC serial protocol (datalogit and the handcontroller would use the exact same protocol) then program a microcontroller to get the data and put it on a larger display.

Is the powerFC datalogit cable USB or serial? If its serial it would have to be an asynchronous serial port. USB it could be either.

If someone has a dead powerFC I'd have a crack at it. It just so happens I have a graphic lcd in the mail :laugh:

If anyone has any electronics questions about it... just fire off a PM and I'll see what I can do

    • If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
