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

    • It really depends on your setup. Mine is 'accidently' more suited to revving higher. bigger cams, turbo etc. Plus my super long first takes donkey years to come onto boost, so if it will move my power band to the right, maybe i'll pass on this. i have a G45-1500 going on there soon which I suspect might make it more of a fat pig.
    • Yeah good call, I will endeavour to tuck that down when I rewrap the looms it’s pushed up by
    • Good work. I will say, this line circled however, will potentially pool with oil, as it's going from high, to low, to high, before heading downwards.
    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
