I hope thats the case :)

I don't really understand the diagram, which bit is existing and which bit needs to be done?

Yes

Essentially you build this device, plug it into your lappy, run some software, which can be gotten for free, just google it, and start monitoring / logging data ..

tbh, I have ordered one of the consult port boxes impakt is selling over at this thread :

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ghlight=consult

as i want to be able to view diag info on the fly, not have to look down at the laptop for info while driving. This device also does have the serial port as part of it.

But this serial device would be VERY cheap to build ...

if anyone is interesed I'd be happy to knock a few of them up, I have all the pcb etching stuff to hand, and most of the components ...

email me to : [email protected] if you would like one, and i'll work out some costs.

Cheers

Yes

If anyone would like me to build this, I can... for a small cost of course ...

Impakt has something similar for sale but its the whole package, built in display etc, this would be a nice cheap way of reading / logging data from your std ecu with your lappy ...

if anyone is interested, mail me at [email protected] and i'll start building one in the mean time

cheers

Rough price will be around the $100 ish mark ...

Still am in the process of moving house and doing lots of rennovation, so cant spend as much time on it as I want, but am working on it all the spare time I get.

Just waiting for some components to arrive at the moment, as soon as they arrive I'll be cutting the pcb, I have the design mostly done ...

As soon as I have a working prototype i'll make a post into the for sale section, until then, if anyone wants to contact me directly, i'll be happy to chat about them.

cheers

I have no clue about holdens, I only just moved to Aus from the UK at the end of last year, and over there, a 3.8 v6 is a HUGE engine capacity, we do have similar cars (vauxhall omega), but they only come with a 2.0 4 cyl std, a 2.5 v6, with the real high top spec ones being 3.0 v6

anyway, i'm still waiting for some components to arrive, will post results as and when I have them

Yes I would. Free Conzult is mostly for 300zx and to buy it is a few hundred. My interface is slightly different, using a different clock generator but the frequency is the same, so should be sweet. I like their idea for Rx / Tx LED's ;)

What do you use to connect it to the consult socket?

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂

      Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges.

      UniClutch

      I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.

      Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
