This is awesome. I’d buy this as a stand alone as soon as you release

Thank you!! Once I have been able to test it on multiple G37 and verify it works as expected, I'll let you know! :)

Figuring out the gear from the speed and rpm is genius! Awesome finding that you can send it to the oem display and have it work.

Thanks... To be honest, it was one of the moments when the logic should work, but I wasn't sure I had it.... then seeing the 1-2-3-4-5-6 on the cluster was awesome!! I don't need to know what gear I am in, but I sure like seeing that number on the cluster :)

Incredible work as always! I’d definitely get a stand alone module if it’s released

Thanks! I think it's funny... I have been driving manual transmissions since the early 80s and I don't need to know what gear it is in... BUT for some silly reason... seeing the gear on the stock gauge cluster makes the "boy racer" in me smile :)

In the next few weeks I am meeting up with a few Q50 owners to collect some data on their car and test our CAN bu & Bluetooth gauges. From the little bit of data I have so far, the G37 and Q50 vehicle networks look to be similar, so something may be possible.

Ooookay I need this for my sedan. Take my money 💰

Glad to hear that :) Now that the warmer weather is coming, I will be be able to test it on other G37 models. Right now, all I know for certain is that it works on my G37.

After just the intro teaser I want to do this to my coupe

That's great! With the weather warming up, I will be able to test this on all different G3s7 so I know it will work on all years. From what I have learned so far, it should, but you don't know for certain until you test it.

Hey I've been watching a lot of your videos and find them extremely useful! I was just curious if you are still using your easy epoxy fix for the diff bushing? Or did you end up installing the aftermarket bushing? Just want to know if the epoxy fix was worth it as a long term fix, thank you!!

@MotorvateDIY

2 жыл бұрын

Yes, the epoxy filled bushing is still on the car. Late last year, I mounted a camera to see how it is holding up after three years, which will be a future episode. (hint: its good!)

That's awesome! I heard a little whoosh and thought this was s teaser video about boost! Nevertheless, a great little feature that should have been offered from factory. I mean it came standard in Auto, why not keep it for Manual Transmissions too. 🤷‍♂🤷‍♂

Thank you! The "swoosh" sound you heard is the normal sound from the 6 speed manual, when changing gears... It is a little gear whine. I have ordered the parts to make 10 stand alone units for testing on some local G37s. It will plug into the OBD port and will be about the size of an ELM327 mini, which is about 1" deep - nice an small :)

if you make a standalone module ill buy it right now lol

Thank you Tyler! I have been reverse engineering the G37's CAN bus since last summer... it has been fun and I have learned a lot... But, as I see it now, I think most of the "good stuff" is figured out. In the next episode, I will dig into the new data logging features and I'll talk about things every VHR owner needs to know: engine oil pressure and engine oil temp. (plus some other cool items that no one else has talked about )

Really? Never above 200F / 93C? In traffic I have seen mine as high as 112C / 234F. Generally the higher the engine RPM, the higher the oil temp.

My G37 doesn't have the factory oil cooler that some G37x seem to have. Do you have the factory oil cooler?

When will they be released?

I have good news for you... In the next update video I will show you a gauge that shows the current gear for the automatic transmission, trans fluid temp and a few other items. I can't show that data on the factory cluster, as the TCM sends out P, R, D etc to the same spot that I use for the manual gear position.

Not sure just yet... I know it works well on my G37, but I really want to test it on other years of G37 to make sure Infiniti didn't change anything on the car's network and to make sure the hardware can handle the harsh environment of an automobile. Now that the weather is warming up and car meets are starting up, I will be able to test this on different years of G37 and get a good sense for what it works on :)

Put me on the list please for when you offer it!

Soon!!! Over the winter I updated the firmware to allow for different differential ratios and a few minor programming updates. Testing on my G37 has gone well. In the spring, I'll start local testing (Toronto) to flush out any issues with other models of manual G37 vehicles.

Sort of... I can't display the current gear in the same spot as the P, R, D. BUT I have made a stand alone LCD display that does display the automatic transmission fluid temp, current gear, torque converter status (locked or sliding) and a few other items. I can't show that in action now, as my G has a manual transmission. BUT I do have a few volunteers who have offered to help me test and shoot a video. More on this in the next few weeks.
