Hey wanted to ask,

As they come in serial if we have a serial to usb adapter already will that work? Or do we require to purchase the usb adapter from you?

nearly any usb/serial converter will work, so its likely the one u have will be fine...no special requirements are needed (in fact the ones i have are much simpler than normal ones since you only need to use 3 of the 9 pins).

one with a FTDI chip will work best, but my suggestion would be to try the one you've got, and you can always get one from me later on (subject to availability) if it doesnt work. if i run out of stock, ill track down the cheapest one from elsewhere that will work (theres some on uk ebay, and on a US site)

Does this work on a R33 GTR RB26DETT engine?

and also, does this work on a R34 GTT RB25DET?

(on standard ECUs)

if so, i am interested

yes and yes, ive added u to the list. RB26 even support a lot more sensors than most other motors do, which is a bonus

Hey,

I've got an R32 GTS-T. The build date is 10/1989. I've checked my car and it's got the consult port. However you said "find your 23710-xxxxx part number." What part number are you referring too? Also is this a DIY kit or pre-assembled?

if its got the consult port it's almost certainly ok. just checked, and its 9/89 that was the transition month. i think one ecu model that i think supports consult started 8/89. which means i think all 10/89+ will support it, and only few in 9/89 and 8/89 will. the part number is the number on the ecu. if its too hard to get to (passenger kickpanel), i can always accept return (minus postage costs) within say a week if you find it doesnt work on your car.

i dont think ive heard of a confirmed case where a car came from factory with a consult port, but not an ecu that supports consult, so you should be fine!

its preassembled, plug and play. the only DIY bit is plugging it in and running the software :P

good question...i havent personally tried it...im sure vista will have messed up something to make it not work

so u choose the com1 (or whatever) from dropdown, and then it hangs? does anything else change in between? does the display gauges button's text change to say "Connect on port: COMx..."?

changed u to confirmed

also default cable length will be 200cm (as this will make it easier to route behind dash and come out the glove box and reach passenger seat)

Choose COM3

Text says "Connect on port: COM3"

tick

tock

Give it about 40 seconds (on the shitty work laptop) and it says 'Not Responding...' and the shittiness ensues!

:)

Nice.

u sure com3 is right? also what .net framework version and updates have u got installed? (if you know). got all windows updates applied?

id probably need to get vista installed to work out what the issue is. maybe have a try of all previous versions on the site and see if any work, or see where the others fail at.

parts have been received by the place doing board manufacture/assembly, still looking at either side of the weekend of 12-13 May for when boards are received, then a couple days from then for when first interfaces will be available (need the cable/connector assembled)

Brand new built Vista laptop from 2nd week April - v1.1 .Net framework.

Not really too worried now, gave the cable back to it's owner so I never got to run the diags :rolleyes: anyone on westside of Bris who's willing to let me borrow theirs for an afternoon when I get my XP laptop back I'd be hugely grateful!

just got confirmation the boards are being sent out from manufacturer. so should arrive friday, which will allow assembly to start on weekend. so the expected May 14 (Monday) start date will be when I will start contacting people for payment (subject of course to there being no errors/problems with boards, wont know till i get them and test it out)

number of people confirmed by 9AM on Monday will determine price. if we subsequently go over 20 people (but not before 9am monday), SAU will get $5/interface sold, which somewhat make up for all of those who havent yet donated!

well the interface itself will be compatible, but who knows what software works on vista yet? someones already reported ecutalk doesnt for them, so id say theres a reasonable chance it wont work for anyone on vista.

id imagine "some" consult software may work, which that is, who knows.

so im afraid youll have to decide yourself on that. worse-case scenario that nothing works, i should have a compatible ecutalk version by say, end of july?

also:

Software - will NOT be provided on a cd - can be download from here

note the change there - CD's will not be provided, as this would add a $4 or something to shipping as it would no longer be classed as a "letter" but a "parcel"

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
