Motec Gear

[LotusGTR]

Hi guys, this stuff came out of a car I recently bought and I have no need for it as I don't take things that seriously. They are a Motec timing beacon and a Motec dash with loom. I'm not sure what features are on the dash but knowing the previous owner of the vehicle I'd suggest it's loaded with all options (I'll investigate this with Motec and the last owner before selling them). I've never used them but they came off a fully prep'ed Targa car and were ll working fine as of the last TT.

So, my questions are what do I have, what are they worth and how best do I go about selling them (aside from this forum)?

Thanks.

Contact Neil he may be interested in these.

Good luck with the sale. As for price I don't know I went a stack dash. But being a Motec you should have no dramas passing it on.

Without knowing the full specs of the dash, it is hard to put a price on it. have a look at the Motec website as I believe that there is a way that you can find out exactly how the dash is configured using the serial number of the unit. IIRC, you have to email the number to a certain address.

those dashes are pretty expensive before you spec them up. What car did it come out of?

[Neil]

Yea I'm with the Sav-man,,,lots more info needed before I would consider spending money on 2nd hand electronics.

Thanks for the heads up by the way Ryan.

Cheers

Neil.

It came out of 996 GT3. I'll ring MoTeC and get the details later this week and post them up.

eek...made to sell it out of your car. Good things to have and understand if you are racing the 996. I am betting the dash will be worth about 5k with loom and sensors etc....2nd hand they dont seem to get much cheaper then 3.5-4k even for the lower spec units.

Keep it!

what's this mean then? 'eek...made to sell it out of your car.' It's out of the car and it'll be a palava getting it back in. It's not back lit and given my car sees road work too, this is a pain. It's getting sold!

[sav man]

if you have a modern ecu (motec, haltch, auronic...etc) the dash can be fed data via the CAN bus. Only needs 1 plug for power and data. I run all m sensors into my Haltec, and display and log it on the dash.

those dashes are the ducks nuts. can you option in backlighting after purchasing it? motec like doing stuff like that.

sorry...mad , not made If you are selling it then I will swap you the Motec setup for an old VDO boost gauge and speedo

I just checked under the hood and there is no turbo, so it's the speedo and cash my way.

You bought a GT3? Awesome!

[Luke_ENR34]

How much u thinking as i'll most likely be needing one later on

[LotusGTR]

You bought a GT3? Awesome!

Yeah, I did Steve. It's a great car but let me tell you the common garden variety GTR stacks up very well against it. Very well indeed. It's only when you compare the GTR to a car like this you realise how great they are. I'm yet to punt the GT3 around PI and Sandown as fast as my 300kw GTR.....

I'm yet to call MoTeC but as soon as I know what I've got and done some further research on pricing I'll post up all details.

[N1GTR]

Well done!

GT3's are stacks of fun. I know what you mean about comparing it against a GTR but I think 9/10 people would rather have the porka over a datto

Got any pics?

Are you scrapping the GTR build for targa and using the GT3 instead or is te GTR still happening?

[N1GTR]

Oh look here's the 1/10

[Beer Baron]

hmm, now we are talking. I have just bought a new car with motec ECU but no timing beacon or dash..... I might be keen to talk of course pending what it has optioned etc.

[LotusGTR]

Well it's an older model ADL with 1mb of data logging and 30 IOs. I visited MoTeC this arvo and got it checked out. By the time I left I decided not to sell it. They said to replace the current set up new would be circa $15k and that mine was still pretty useful. I got a full demo of the data logging capabilities and at that point I wanted to keep it. I'll post up if I change my mind.

As an aside it was an impressive facility and the tech support guy I spoke with was very enthusiastic and helpful and free with his time. I suspect this product is well supported.

[N1GTR]

Yeah yeah thats nice.....GT3 pics
