Just plug it into the OBD2 port and it will turn off with the ignition. :D

WRONG! lol sort of.

its not as simple as just plugging it in. if u plug red to red, the Touch stays on.. if you plug the Red to Orange, it will turn on n off with the ignition. make sure its red n orange.. u dont wanna short something. the orange wire plugs into your ACC power.

i think the ciggarette light is an addition to the non OBD readers..

Scott gave me the heads up before chopping. but yeh it says it in the book in the english part

mmm ... I don't think so ... I have had my Informeter working perfectly in my car for 6 months..

It is just called reading the Instructions.

maybe the later ones are wired different. i should take a copy of the book and upload where it says this

later models???

Back of the book in English it show's you.....you should have additional wiring attached to the plug....just plug and play. Mind you I have done mine different to Andy....I have a switch in between so I can turn it off and on!

This is what my book says, i dont know if its different, not much point in buying two to compare lol

Says Red to Red, may drain the power because instead of turnin off with the ignition, it stays on, and after some time goes into stand by. not really good for your battery.

the image that says red to orange- it will turn off with the ignition. Notice it also says for NISSAN and subaru..

I dont know. ide rather follow the book. plus being a sound engineer, i know what damage power draining can do to battery cells, and units that are sitting in stand by for extensive times.

Craig- your idea of having a switch is pretty good. It would break the circut not draining poower at all..but what would be the reason to turn it off while your driving?

and one other question, My injectors hit 94% yesterday. should i consider bigger injectors? whats a forum for this infor for injectors that fit without plenum raising it(i like the cover so i wanna keep it)

cheers

The second page of the instructions shows pretty clearly (IMO) that you connect Red - Orange on Nissan ODB cars and do not use the cigarette lighter.

94% injectors, nothing yet.. wait til you hit 100% lol.. You can set an alarm on the Injector so you know when you are in the danger zone. Mine is set at 95%. I usually only see 100% over 7000rpm.

What you need to know is if the AFR's are Ok. Get a Dyno run done to see what sort of tune you have going on.

yeh mines connected red - orange. Ok now Im confused about what the debate is on :( lol forget it, it works!

um yeh i have an alarm set for 95% aswell just so i pull my foot off the accelerator lol

hopefully the AFM% is at 4.8+- like craig says. other wise im fecked.

Dyno run? for a AWD? in Melbourne? ill have better luck finding a unicorn than to find someone who wants to do a AWD Dyno for less that $600.00 lol

motor is about a 2 weeks off! :)

Talk to Scott about the dyno when you get a second....wouldn't say you have a problem above 4.8....mine ran at 5.0 for a very long time....and that wasn't what blew my motor!

Hey, if I can get one done in Adelaide for $90 Im sure you can get one done in melbs :( Might be worth asking if the SAU:Vic chapter is planning a dyno day any time soon, good way to get a cheap run in for the sake of checking numbers if you dont wanna spend too much cash on it (SA dyno day was $40 for me (non member), same place would normally charge me $90)

Customs have my informeter, I think.. Bastards.

craig- 2 weeks away is alright, at least this time you'll know to listen to warning signals. lol

Dunc - i'll get scott to help me find one, live 5 minutes from me. Customs? what do they think theres drugs in the plug or something.

Better hurry, he is selling the dyno soon. RE want $100 an hour now, what a rip.

RE's dyno is shit house aswell.. i remember seeing something about it being 20KW out or something.

$100 an hour for a useless company is stupid. i will NEVER take my car there.. a bunch of stuck up twats that dont know anything.

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.

      How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?

      Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.

      I just finished up a manual swap and I have a 1999 S2 AWD automatic in my garage, depending on where you are located. I'm in the the midwest of the US.

      I’ve heard it can be done, you need to redrill the holes where they bolt to the chassis and apart from that they are the same. I’ve never done it or know anyone personally that has, it’s just something I’ve heard
