[Impakt]

Black33: I cant find a supplier with the blue backlight LCD screen. The ones available on line, are over $100 each, + shipping, and require a but of work to retro-fit them into the module.

guys, i have been in touch with crystalfontz about this ...

here is what i found...

I use their software on my pc to display motherboard monitor stats, all very useful, and works perfectly with any hd44780

anyway ...

I was looking at :

http://www.crystalfontz.com/products/2004a...#CFAH2004ATMIJP

but didnt want this type of blue screen, so asked them directly if this :

http://www.crystalfontz.com/products/1602l...#CFAH1602LTGHJP

type of colour screen was available in 20x4 .. and it is !!!!

hoorah !

below is the reply i had from them regarding it :

Obviously it does work out to be slightly pricey, but you get a screen that is a very close match to the standard dash colours. They are also just standard hd44780 lcd modules that are a direct replacement to impakts screens. Have a look at

http://www.crystalfontz.com/products/index-std.html

any of the 20x4 screens will be a direct replacement if you so wish, and would take about 15 mins to swap them over i rekkon...

Yotis: No idea whether it will work on the R34. AFAIK they have an OBD-II connector, and not sure if they support the CONSULT I protocol.

tang0: Glad you are happy. Atm i only have 1 left!

Impakt

Ah ok.. if anyone from gold coast or brisbane area purchases one from you impakt, could you forward my enquiry to them? Would b interested to see if it works with my car.

Cheers,

[Abo Bob]

I'm curious about this too Yotis so I will try to arrange a time with Impakt to test and let you know.

[Impakt]

Update: I have ordered some more parts and will have 10 more displays ready to go in a couple of days. 3 or 4 people are already showing interest in this batch of 10 also.

If you wish to test it out on a GTT, PM me

[Impakt]

ed: First thing would be to find out whether the R34 has the consult connector.

I believe we do, it's the same plug/connector found on the 33 GTST's just that ours are mounted upside down.

[Impakt]

Ed: A friend told me that the R34 uses a new version of the protocol and doesnt work with the consult I, which is what my module uses.

[666DAN]

Can someone with a 34 please try this out???? Anyone in Brisbane/Goldcoast who has one want to try it on my car?

[ed]

Dan,

I already offered to meet up with impakt to give it a whirl?

But he said it uses a diff protocol.

Ed

[666DAN]

From what I've seen yes it uses Consult-II as opposed to Consult-I but that's just for actually diagnosing codes and altering data on-board the ECU. But they both use the same base OBD-II language whcih should decode as normal.

Either way I think it's worth a shot just to plug it in and see.

BTW Ed where is the Consult connector in the 34? Just had a quick look around the fuse panela nd couldn't see it????

[Skyrine-Dave]

i am in awe that you could make something like this.

Top Product, looks pretty much like my EMS hand controller... except better!

Should be below the little pocket compartment to the right of the steering column.

Let me know if you need me to take a pic.

[666DAN]

Ahhh below the pocket..about the only place that I didn't look

I e-mailed Pete from PLMS developments, he said someone with an R34 has ordered one of the interfaces to try...so I'll let you know how it goes when he get's back to me.

I got mine today! Top work on behalf of Daren. Lots of useful information that can be used for tuning and diagnosing problems. Looks good too.

Highly recommended.

Cheers,

Scott

[MM2death]

Maybe the guys who have bought one from Daren would like to give some feedback in his trader rating.

Have you worked out yet how to pull the maps out of the ecu. I'm asking because I've got a r32 gtr mines chipped ecu (glued in chip) and I want to pull the map out of it and knock a little timming of the top rpm points and add a little fuel in the middle and burn a new chip and install it into a standard ecu. Cheaper than buying a pfc since I'm not upgrading inj, afm or turbs. Eeprom reader/writer is only $130 and the softwares free! All I need is the map off the mines.

Nice work thou. Its good to see your sussing it out!

[Impakt]

Rowdyr32: Yes with my module, a laptop and the right software you will be able to read the Mines map out of the ECU. My display will work with the Mines Chip too..

The best all 'round program is called Nissan Data Scan, and its $25. THe author of this program can be contacted at [email protected]
