From what I know, you can't store more than one map in the ECU, I think Hamish carry laptop containing both 98 oct and E85 tune and transfering via PFC datalogit.

I'm sure Hamish will correct me if I'm wrong.

data logit wont work on a mac i dont think... fek..

go kill yourself kadir.

Can't switch tunes on PFC, need Data Logit or FC Hako - Paul will tell you more about this, or Google it. Be surprised if it doesn't work with Mac. Or just shell out $200 for a small/cheap laptop...

Yes. Just beat my PB at the Island from April by .5 of a second after being set back by a traumatic crash in October. In an exhausted state as well!

Now down to 1:46.3 oooooooh rah! Only ten more seconds to go :D

Congrats, maybe it was me and the supplements :P

Yeah, I think one of these macbooks with intel core can run mac/windows xp.

Might be a option.

BTW, is this at Dromana on the pics?

yeah you need winblows to run datalogit

and fc hako is a cable only solution, so you use the fc hako cable with datalogit or apexi's software

again all windows based

you could buy a crap old dell lattitude laptop off ebay for 200 with a true serial port and run win98

many people do that for car based serial connection thingies (i sold my datalogit kit with a dell win98 laptop)

cool thanks..

i can install windows as a secondary system on the mac..

will i need the datalogt module to use it? or is it just a pfc to usb cable??

yep you can try running it inside an emulated windows

as long as it can speak to a serial port it should be fine

datalogit expects a serial port, and doesnt understand usb

so as long as whatever you use, appears as COM serial port, it will work (or should)

datalogit is software and a cable

fc hako is a cable

datalogit is software and a cable

depending on what software you try to use, will determine what cable you use

or vice versa

if you have an apexi legit cable, you must use their software

if you have datalogit cable, you can use datalogit

if you have an fc hako cable you can use any software

grant

as long as it (the pc or laptop or mac or windows or linux or solaris or beos) can speak to a serial port it should be fine

datalogit (and the others) expect a serial port, and don't understand usb

so as long as whatever you use, appears as COM serial port, it will work (or should)

datalogit ships with a USB cable and so does FC hako

but all that this cable does is provide a USB serial port

datalogit and apexi fc pro etc don't know native USB speak

they just assume its a COM serial port and hope for the best

    • Not noticeably. Arguably, the catless turbo is going to work harder in a different direction, as it will spool up faster, go to higher speeds more easily. Only if it was tuned in the original condition. If it was a stock tune, using the AFM before and after the cat/dump change, then no, no retune needed. If the car is running on a MAP sensor, then it might well benefit from a retune. It might even run a little dangerously without a retune, but it could quite easily be fine.
    • We had this blend that uses 98RON + 10% Ethanol which brought it to 100RON. It's no longer available anymore unfortunately.
    • Does it make a difference in your turbo having a shorter life if you have a cat converter as it causes that back pressure versus less/no back pressure with a decat? (Not sure if this is accurate) Also slightly different question if you went from a oem cat to a decat or vice versa will it require a tune? I heard if you change the dump pipe onwards it requires a tune?
    • No. Have only gotten as far as contemplating the task of having to put in the required fairly heavy wiring and fusing to run it (along with the big alternator), and preferring not to. But otherwise, it would be nice to have a little extra freedom as to exactly where the compressor is located and free up some space around the exhaust side of the engine.
    • Following from this in a related by not closely-related sense... Because I was buying a bunch of other GKTech stuff, I got some rear subframe collars. The history that leads up to this is: 25+ years ago the car arrived into the country with stock subframe bushes. At some point shortly thereafter I added Whiteline pineapple rings, set up neutral, and it improved the rear end behaviour. Well, it is my vague memory that I was happier with it with them in. Less axle tramp on launches, generally better, etc etc. ~2012 it got a new non-HICAS subframe with new stock bushes. No pineapple rings. I reckon that ever since then I've been dissatisfied with the axle tramp. Recently I've been f**king around a lot with all aspects of the suspension. One contemplation has been to relocate the rear lower control arm front mount points (and do the other things needed to make that work) to improve longitudinal rear grip by getting rid of some of the stupid anti-squat that Nissan ladled into the R32. But.... before doing that I thought I'd put some collars in. And.... The collars are good. The rear sounds a little bit different, but there has been no significant increase in NVH coming up into the body. In terms of rear behaviour - expansion joints on long sweeping elevated freeway ramps that would sometimes cause the rear to jiggle around a bit, no longer seem to do so. It appears that jamming chunks of metal into the gaps in the rubber so they can't move much is a really good thing. And the launch behaviour and general forward traction situation seems to be greatly improved too. It's impossible to be really sure, because the tyres are completely shagged - they are freakishly willing to let go right now. But as an A-B test with the same tyres it certainly seems to grip up a lot better. Highly recommended to anyone who still has stock bushes.
