Hi all,

Some of you may know that i was working on a digital dash for the stock Nissan ecus.

Well the time has finally come! I have got all the parts together to make 10 and already have made one to prove the concept.

Attached is a pic (taken with my phone) that shows it in action, and sitting there with the (proper) Consult connector.

It plugs into the Consult diagnostic port and displays 8 sensors at a time, in realtime.

The sensors/data you can choose from are:

rpm

speed (km/h and mph)

afm voltage

injector pulse width

injector duty cycle

coolant temp

ignition timing

tps voltage

absolute tps position (%age)

EGT voltage (if supported by ecu)

o2 sensor voltage

AAC position (%age)

battery voltage

Lean/Rich Indicator

Flags (On/off indicators): Closed TPS, A/C Relay, A/C Compressor, Fuel pump, start switch, VTC solenoid, thermo fans, and a few others.

 

All of these variables depend on whether your ecu supports them.

The device also has a serial port so you can connect your laptop to it and log the data. I am currently testing a program that pulls fault codes and erases them, logs data, does a fuel map trace(!), and a few other things.

You can also read the stock maps from the ecu with a laptop. And no, you can’t tune the ecu with this!  

It also has a peak-hold function, so it will remember the max rpm, duty cycle, pulse width, afm voltage, water temp etc, and store it in memory for recall later...

Final price is $300AU + shipping. Those of you in Sydney are welcome to come past Unigroup Engineering and check it out (when i'm there, let me know before hand).

 

I can either sell a basic version which shows the variables that 99% of Nissan ecus support, or do a test on an ecu from your car so I can custom make one which reads out as many things as your ecu supports. A custom one might not work on other Nissans though.

Just wondering if there is a programe available for a pc that will allow you to hoock it up through a com port to monitor the same info if you dont want/need to mount it in your car and might be able to show all of the senser outputs at one time.

Currently a PC program is being developed that will monitor/log the same data that the display processes. This means that you can have the dash installed with a laptop logging everything the dash displays.

There are already programs that do monitoring/logging and many other things too.

So did you want a PC program that worked in conjunction with the display, or just a program that had similar features to it?

I plugged my mates (oosh's) one into my car but it only read one o2 and afm. I have a gtr engine in a 32gtst and his is a gtst rb20. Are they different between models?

Yes there are currently 3 models available. The generic n1 model (which works basically on all nissans except 200sx), the 200sx model (n1 model minus ignition timing, since 200sx ecu doesnt support it), and GT-R model, which is basically n1 plus 2nd afm and 2nd o2 sensor.

Im not sure how these units work and not an expert on computers either. Just wondering if there was a way to get a laptop to translate the signals that come back through the consult port its self without the use of the unit.

Im guessing not but just though I would ask and how.

Is there any way of linking other imput signals for such things as oil pressure senders or aditional temp sensors etc?

Forgot to ask a couple more things.

I read somewhere it will work with the piggyback style units as well, will this then show the true signals for what is actually happening in your motor or just what the original stock ecu is "seeing" after the piggyback unit has changed the values?

Also would this work with re-written ecu's that have had speed cuts taken off or written to suit bigger afm or injectors?

Sorry if any of these questions have been addressed already.

No you can't use a laptop on its own to use the translation. You need an interface between the ECU and laptop, which this display has built in.

The display has a provision on board to allow extra analog sensors to be plugged in. If your extra sensors spits out an analog voltage the display can be used to show these.

It will work fine with piggyback units, and will show what the ECU is "seeing".

Yes, it will work with chipped ECUs. I have mine working n an sr20 ecu with 600cc injectors and z32 afm.

Yeah you can get hold of your wiring diagram and test with a multimeter to make sure the 5 wires are still going where they should be.

Alternatively, you can find someone else in Melbourne with one who can help you..

Update: A logging program is now available, which actively logs the datastream from the NissDataScan.

This means that you can log the data AND use the display at the same time! The best thing about this is that the program is free! It's available for download

Note: This program will not work without the NissDataScan, and it useless on its own.

    • OK, that is a helpful description, because that sounds exactly like a bleeding issue in the clutch....these are hard to bleed manually even when the damping loop has been removed. I'd suggest bleeding again....start by filling the master cylinder up and opening the bleed nipple. Come back and check every now and then that the master cylinder is not empty. Let it gravity bleed for a few hours and see if that improves
    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
