Write to them to try and resolve. Keep it civil and to the point. Don't assign blame. Next thing after that is fair go. My friends were on last night after being jipped by Allely House for their wedding after they tried to hike the fees moments before the day.

[Togethia] - The Leh Ladakh Expedition: To Heaven And Back Pt.2 of 2

Hi, Welcome to bimmersport. http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=20961 Thanks

But its a BMW and its an m5 .... did I say its a BMW? .. = extra $$$ for the fact. Gavin is around 900-1000 from last check. This is why people go to him, you're not paying re-coupe costs on the daten files they have to purchase to resolve your DMEs checksums also learning curve. He tunes/trims Vanos to match too which lots of tuners don't touch.

Cheers Graham, yeah unfortunately I'm not a great spectator when it comes to watching motorsport rally events. Have done my fair share of marshalling rally stages and its a pretty thankless job with a lot of deck chair time. I do however enjoy the in-car footage people post especially NZ events, as I know how challenging our roads are here.

This ones pretty rad. Enjoy.

Sweet... pricelist please for the others.

What I want to know is .. when will the Race Series Committee start a e38 series. Can anyone confirm ?

Cheers fellas. Well the main things have been learning absolutely everything and not giving up. The ecu part was actually easish programming the hardware for the data logger and display. I wrote a program in Visual Basic first to prove I could make it work before starting on the hardware programming. But had to build my own interface to talk to the ECU. Learnt a lot with this Brendon and I then had to learn hardware design and solve various problems a long the way. Example, writing a robust call and response protocol between the Datalogger box and steering wheel display MCU with checksum to stop bad data if it where ever to find its way into the system. Hardest defanitely was reverse engineering the output data in the ECU and learning how the DS2 protocol works. I had a lot of help at the start from Jochen to point me in the right direction. The rest of it was developing a test strategy to help take some of the guess work out of it. It took me 2 years of atleast 2 good solid nights a week at it. Anyways, There will be a suite of applications that will work with this. That is gonna take a little longer. But Brendon and myself are getting the hardware out the door first So this will be out primary focus. Next task, building our own printed circuit board designs for the display and datalogger. The display can be mounted in most places. For now we just have the gt3 style button plate. However we will make a stand alone version which will suit standard steering wheel setups more. I thought about trying to integrate it into the dash some how, there are a few options. Before anyone asks .. there is a very good reason to not go colour at this stage. oLED technology only exist in cellphones these days and are not availible to this sort of thing yet. So we went with a mono oLED display which has the best contrast / brightness in direct sunlight. I will also probably look to have an option sunshade if people want that sort of thing. The beauty of this system is it works with your standard ECU. It supports later model cars at the moment. Earlier model 95 backwards dont have a lot of live data. However specific models may still work. It also support external sensors. EG of this is my industrial grade oil pressure sensor. I can map the sensor to GPS data and you can SEE where / if you are getting dangerous pressure drop. You will also get a visual warning on screen and im looking at adding a pezo audio alarm as well. There will also be a large master warning LED as well.

Cheers fellas ... Am working on a whole bunch more next level stuff for this. Almost cant keep up with development because of the features and ideas rolling out but will start small first Realtime telemetry is the only way to really take the guess work out of many engine related problems on or off the track. For example, measuring airflow and temp through your MAF you can tell if that air box or CAI system is actually working or not. You can overlay this data over your video to SEE what your car is doing at any specific time.

Help get Hayden Paddon to the WRC this year. He's been our best export for rally since Possum Bourne. Some would say he is achieving more with his domination of S2000 support class last year (precursor to full blown WRC). I do believe he's the real deal and does amazingly at any rally event he attends. This is the sort of thing Campbell Live should be reporting on. Donations to get him back to compete. https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/5SShe Also spread the word for a great cause.

enjoy

Soooo a few of you know about what I've been up to over the past few years. Embarking on the long road to dis-assemble my live data from the ECU. Brendon and I have finally got to the stage where we are have a working prototype which is very 0.1 as far as hardware design goes. But we will be out at the track day on the 29th running it through its paces. Features so far include .. Real time Data logging of all live values. Much faster than standard BMW diagnostic equipment. Records to SD Card in CSV format for easy import into Excel or other video telemetry overlay programs Real time steering wheel or soon-to-be dash display (optional) Real time warning on critical values and gear position Max values stored and displayed Warm up and over heat warning thresholds and display Analogue values from active sensors EG oil pressure etc Selectable buttons which can remotely trigger or scroll functions Programmable shift light warning system. This is just a taste of the features it is capable of. We are in development of a lot more and will be supporting all popular modern BMW ECUs and control modules. It will also be expandable so you can add some serious motorsport features onto your base unit. The aim is to bring this to market with accessible telemetry and an affordable price. Here is a taste of the working model. Production will be of a lot high quality. Also ignore my tachometer. It reads about 150rpm too high.

Any low rent jappa. With budget b grade beam axel horse and cart cost saving f**k suspension. There are so many of these dangerous little sh*t boxes on the road with equally bad tires to match. They sell them as known names here but are the lowest of the low in Japanese cars that some how make it through compliance. Nissan Pulsar CJ, Toyota windy ... yeah you know what i'm talking about. Ham cars.

It wants to be a m30 turbo.

dunno man, looks pretty badass to me. A soft top is midlife crisis ... not the m-coupe.

Jamez and I were having a conversation a while back. You could take two s50b32's and have a new block cast from alloy and a custom crank and basically recreate that engine. It would be a blimmin awesome engine to have. Edit: better video of it here

Basically have a look at your life and how you use the car daily, how long your going to keep the car. Any future plans starting families etc Can you get a good run out of it in the z4 ? if not maybe look at the m3. I said to the wife yesterday, f**k it lets just ditch all plans and get the z4m haha. (was joking obviously)

Special interest vehicle regos only when importing. Unfortunately unless its an m3 or other proven rare BMW you wont be able to register it for road legal.

Try now ..

sweet time to raise the compression and do cams
