I have been looking around the web and have not been able to find what I am looking for. I have a microtech ltx12 computer and a alpind double din head unit. what i am trying to do is link the 2 so i can see what the engine is doing rather than having gauges all around the dash. this would be to make it all look factory as possible. I know that this might be something that is not possible but any suggestions would be helpful.

A lot of people, myself included would love to have this kind of functionality in our cars. I've dreamed of having an awesome display unit like the GTR's for so long now. Being able to add in as many sensor as you wont would be a modders/tuners dream come true.

As far as I'm aware, however, its near impossible to get it to come through your Alpine Head Unit. Theres only one realistic option that may work, it would involve making a Car pc that has a video out that can connect to your head unit. Thats if yours has a video input connection. This kind of mod has been done before, however there is no off the shelf kit with software to get the computer to display the information in a pleasing manner. Actually getting the computer to retrieve sensor information is not the hard task in the mod. Its the custom programming and design work needed to create the Display. Some guy did it for an RX7 I think, but not a lot is known about how he got it all to work. If you find anything during your continued search, let us know.

Best of luck

have a look this one,blitz R-vit DS data link."The R-VIT connects to Japanese vehicles with an OBD II diagnostic port. These are mostly post 1996 vehicles. The R-VIT can display all the data from the vehicles ECU and its sensors on the inbuilt LCD screen."

and you can find it on the ebay for $500 USD here, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Blitz-R-Vit...sQ5fAccessories

I have been looking into this also and found two more systems:

- HKS CAMP2. http://www.hksusa.com/info/?id=3474

- Magden Automotive M.1b Performance Computer (As seen in the new Fast & Furious movie in the blue R34 GTR) http://magden-auto.com/products/1

But both are pretty expensive systems tho...

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By carnoobb · Posted

      Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.

      Rb head oil drain dimensions

      By Papichulo96 · Posted

      Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
