yes it will. there is a ticket open on the feature/bug tracker to add ability to save the trip statistics. it would probably be a third screen (so 2 trip ones, one showing current trip, and one showing all trips) that shows your total recorded trips.

reason why it hasnt been done yet is that trip data would need to be saved to EEPROM, which only can be written to a limited number of times, and the display doesnt know when you will turn off the car. so need to do some tricky wear levelling to spread the writes to EEPROM out over the fully spare eeprom, and to only update the trip data every say 30s.

but yeh i really want this feature myself too so will try to get it done when this first batch is sold and i have time to work on it.

Would it be better to get that mini-SD port going...? Data logging? :P

Got my display a week or so ago, installation couldn't have been easier. The information you can access with this little unit is extremely useful - thanks Peter, my Stag' now has what it has always lacked - a tripmeter! Now my mate with the R31 Silhouette can't say his has more features...

nothin yet for the microsd, dont expect anything too soon for it, a few more things will come first (hopefully saving trip meter onto a global trip stats screen or similar).

Cool ;) Will be watching with interest... fantastic little unit.

BTW, can anyone confirm: is 380cc correct injector size for series 2 stagea (R34 RB25DET)?

Some sites say 370cc some say 380cc, but you will still need to calibrate it as there will be a +/- factor. Ive been waiting until I do a long trip, fill tank, reset trip, drive, fill tank again and check fuel used against fuel pumped in, assuming the bowser is correct. The longer the trip/more fuel used the higher the accuracy will be, or even do over several long trips, noting fuel used/fuel pumped for each. i wouldnt measure it over many short trips as the probability of error will be increased. Do some quick maths and adjust the injectors accordingly. About as accurate as we can get outside laboratory conditions, temp/bowser calibration etc.

right on the money. and make sure the display is on one of the two main screens nearly all the time (eg if u go to main menu it stops recording fuel consumption etc until you go back to main screen).

this will be made easier once i do the global trip meter statistics stuff so it saves stats from each session so u have total fuel used etc. until then you need to rely on a full trip with filling up both sides and dont shut the car off (or write down fuel used before you do) on the way

Just thought I would ask, in your next version, since you have MPG, can you include KM/L in the trip stats ? as this is my preferred econ format. thanks

sign up and add it to the bug/feature tracker on the site...but i dont think itd be high priority...its like yanks asking for GPM, who uses that?! :(

Cool, good idea. Will be doing one of those shortly... to Victoria

lol :laughing-smiley-014:

ok so ive been working on microsd logging this weekend (theres stuff i should do first, but oh well!) and theres good and bad news.

good news is ive got extremely simple reading and writing going (as in write 80 numbers and read them back), so its possible.

bad news is that i could only get it to work by adding a resistor to fix a too high voltage going to the card. see attachment. if you cant solder then you could probably even just mechanically attach the resistor (being careful to only attach to specified contacts) by winding legs around the existing component legs and then cutting short.

and the writing wont write in fat file format so u wont be able to use your card outside of the display without reformating it. you'd download logs with the usb port and some form of downloading program i gather.

for read/write speed, its about 30KB/s (512 bytes in 15ms), which should hopefully be enough (thats at 100% of the cpu's time, which wouldnt leave time for anything else. but we only need ~5KB/s so should be ok)

I bought your consult cable, which works a treat. Have you ever thought of doing similar to this for the wrx's? I own an my03 as well and would do dirty deeds to have the same capabilities with it..

Easy done! :P

for $300 theres the subdatascan s2 (google), although its only got data display/peak values (and rs232 passthru) so naturally not as awesome as mine, but being newer tech the subarus have some nifty data available like boost, intake temp, ignition retard (level of knock?). and of course you guys with OBDII have all the OBDII stuff like scangauge so you're all set!

i have my eyes on getting maybe a 03+ wrx in a few years, doubt ill be making anything non-nissan until then.

Did some highway driving over the last few days (about 2,000Ks), without cruise-control (so speed was not exactly perfectly constant) plus overtaking etc. and I noticed that the average trip speed would sit at 110km/hour... which seemed too exact? Does the unit show average speeds above 110?

Edited by DaveB

im not aware of any reason why it wouldnt...do you think you should have averaged higher? (i havent driven far enough to get past more than about 100 or so average due to slower local roads etc).

fyi the reset on options menu can be used to do the same as unplugging/replugging in display (it doesnt reset saved data/settings). so perhaps if you have someone that can reset the display once you're above 110km/h and see that it is averaging correctly.

also a good writeup on microsd resistor mod (that ive emailed everyone about) for those who are at id less than 65 on the list:

  • 2 weeks later...

v2.01 firmware is now available on firmware page. has sequential and random speed tests for microsd cards (and capacity/info as per 2.01 beta), no actual logging yet, but you can test out microsd cards you may wish to use for logging.

note, as the lcd will tell you, you'll lose any existing data on the card if you do the speed test.

if ur going to use a card, buy one just for this, because it wont be windows/pc readable, and to read data off it you wont remove it, but use the usb cable and some program ive yet to write to download the logs.

there is a howto guide for those of you (displays sent out before september 3 - i.e. id 1-64 on the list) who need to do the resistor mod here. those people ive contacted via email a couple weeks ago

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
