R34 GTR Nismo MFD Data-logger

[Snowman]

Hey guys,

I recently upgraded my MFD to the Nismo version in my GTR. One of the funtions this comes with is a data-logger.

The disc that comes with the Nismo circuits for this is all in Japanese and means nothing to me. However - there is an english version available through GTR Central found here:

http://www.gtrcentral.com/technical/e-manuals/

That side of things is all sweet. I have installed the English version, have done some test runs and it all works great and have made some recordings. My problem is now - what program do you use to review the data recorded.

I have tried excel and both the english and japanese versions of the Nismo software and I can't do anything with the saved data. But there is obviously no point in doing data logging if you cant review the information.

Does anyone know what program is required to do this?

in advance (even though I'm not hopefull of getting much help on this! LOL)

just get rid of it completely Andrew and donate it to me! haha

what format are hte datafiles in? if you open them up in say notepad or another plain text editor is any of it readable?

[Snowman]

The files are saved as *.gtr files.

It should be noted that the Japanese program supplied by Nismo looks for *.csv files. There is an function at the top of the datalogger under the header of "Tools" which is called "Log->CSV" but it doesn't seem to do anything.

If you try and open the file in Notebook for example is is just a whole bunch of gobbly goop.

The csv files that the Nismo program is the format I really need so i guess I want to know how I convert the saved *.gtr files to a csv file.

PS - WLDCRD - first you need to get your car out of the workshop before a datalogger would be even remotely uselfull to you! LOL

minor details.......nothing much hehe

Andrew: csv = comma seperated values, excel would open this etc... as would notepad...

not sure what the .gtr files are.. we need to figure out how to get it to log to the csv files...

i think gtr.co.uk forums may be a good place to try

[ferni]

bring your car/logger over and ill have a look at it for you, i want a ride in your car anyway

[ferni]

If you click save min/max it saves a CSV file with some data in it.

[ferni]

ok from what i can understand, the log->CSV option loads ANOTHER program which converts the .gtr file to a csv file... you probaly got this other program on your nismo disc/cd, but it will be in japanese... surely it can't be tha thard to work out which buttons do what?

get me a copy of that other program log->CSV one...

Sorry to bring up an old thread yet again guys but I have the Nismo MFD in my car too and was wondering how you even start the datalogging? I have some kind of cable coming out of the passenger footwell from the center console area.. do I need to find a plug for that before I can start logging?

I have the Nissan Consult cable and software to log via that method but would like to know how you guys are going about it as an alternative.

Thanks
