A Motec ADL or SDL is either backlit or not as they're different boards.

You can send a non-backlit to Motec for upgrade, but as you're changing the fundamentals it would be easier and maybe cheaper to sell and buy a new one.

I've got the new M84 going on my FD and couldn't help but get the a dash too... instead of the timing beacon path I've gone GPS instead which should be cool to play with (http://www.motec.com/gpsg1/gpsg1overview/).

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.

I suspected you would do that. I have an M800 ECU and would have dearly loved the MOTEC dash except the price is :O

Had to satify myself with the AIM digital dash which is a lot cheaper and still works off the CAN buss.

Sounds like you made the right choice mate. Like the motec man told you it would cost a lot to replace and do again and at least you have the car it was installed in so it shouldn't be hard to get it all going again. Cool car too :)

Quick update. MoTeC have been very helpful and this is what I've got:

  • An older ADL with 1mb of logging activated out of 4mb. 30 i/o ports enabled
  • Timing beacon
  • Loom to suit 996 GT3 with 'some' sensors

I'm taking it to Motorsport Electrics next week to get it all tested (to be 100% sure it all works) and fully bottom out what I've got. After that it's all going to be for sale and I'll create another thread for that.

Cheers.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Given by the sheer number of questions about offset, absolutely not. If you had the information formatted this way: Space from R34 GTT hub to outer arch = 100mm Space from R34 GTT inner hub to nearest suspension arm = 90mm. (making this up) Buying a wheel that was advertised as Enkei RPZ5 Diameter 18in Width 9 Distance to arch = 84mm Distance to suspension arm = 76mm 100% of people would know instantly if it fits. They would absolutely also know instantly how close it fits too, and no questions would need to be asked. You would know you would have 16mm from the guard and 14mm from the suspension arm.

      Ah ok, for example for the apexi ecu I heard that it's pretty limited with the information it can give you. Also not sure why Nissan used the consult port over the obd2, what the idea there was.

      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.
