Hi Guys,

I have been working away at several projects over the last year or two. A lot of you have seen some of my stuff in a few cars at track day. (maccattack's black GTR, jetman's blue GTR, Rajon's white GTR, IanB's black GTR, EVOCAM's EVO8 MR).

Jetman, Azzurra and others have been kind enough to look through manuals and give valuable comment.

All three of my projects can be connected to a PC / laptop and be configured, with the setup being saveable. Datalogging is also possible using the laptop.

As the Device Configuration Software shows all three devices and their setup options, I have attached it for download.

There have been a lot of questions about what each of my devices do, so I invite you to download the software and have a look.

Paul

EDIT:

Hey guys, the ZIP file won't work and I cannot put the unzipped files up.

Sorry to start a thread that doesn't work.

EDIT 2:

Seems to work for most people. Not sure why it failed for a few. If your interested and it doesn't work, PM me and I will email the zip.

Also further info below on what its about.

Hi Al, sorry for the lack of explaination.

I have been building three projects over the last year or so to perform various functions. I have attached a sample picture of each of the units to give you an idea of what they look like.

The software I put in this thread connects to each device through a serial cable. All the options in the software can also be accessed through the menu system on the device. Although it is easier on the laptop.

The tabs at the top of the screen are for each of the three devices. They are the 4WD Controller, Engine Monitor and Thermo Pro. If you select the tab you will see all the options and setup parameters for each device.

I have attached the manual for the 4WD Controller and Engine Monitor, the thermo pro manual is still in a draft stage, although you get a good idea of what it can do from the setup software (I will try and get it finished in the next day or two).

The reason I put this info up now is that I have had a lot of guys ask what these things do and I have been saying I will have all the info ready any day now (read 6 months). I have built these as specialised devices that myself and other track orientated people have wanted. I will get a web site up in the coming weeks, but in the meantime I thought I would invite comments and discussion.

Paul

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
