There is one thing usually missing on these products and that is turn- and full beam indicators. If fitting a nice dash like these I wouldn't want to add these indicators to be road legal...

Like I said on Luke's DASH2 thread, life would be so much easier if we had CAN on these cars. :wacko:

But it's not real CAN if it's just translating OBD into a CAN protocol. The ECU isn't, none of the sensors are, the loom isn't and the speed/bandwidth/ease benefits of CAN are neutered by the abortion that is the Z22SE ECU and it's archaic OBD protocol (even without the bug with the saturated bandwidth).

It's an antique ecu in its own right... Afterall even the newest vx220 lard arse spec cars are 10years old now :lol:

Yup, I guess it's at least a 20 year old setup now. I'm toying with buying on of these and adding all of the extra sensors I want into it and talking CAN direct to the datalogger and any replacement/extra display. Just need them to actually reply and tell me that I don't need to buy $450 worth of software to configure the device, which itself is only $295. :wacko:

Might finally give me a use for my Deutsch terminal tool. :lol:

If you can wait eleventy billion years, I'm sure we could knock something up (I did for an Evora when playing silly cars)

Race technology is very good and can do multiple ways of inputting data (can or serial), there customer service is excellent as well. I have the dash2 pro in mine.
