Hey Guys,
I am interested in putting some effort into this project. I have successfully built a custom Ardunio setup that reads a bunch of sensor data and then builds CAN Messages and broadcasts them on the BUS. I am currently working a another project to reads messages from the BUS, processes the data from them, and builds new messages and puts them on the BUS. Most of this was straight forward as I am a software developer and was using AEM devices that have fully documented and published message structures.
I am interested in doing something for the 370z that can read data from the car CAN BUS, other external sensors, and then display data on a LCD screen and/or log the data. The hardware cost would be around the $240 range: Ardunio unit, canbus module, SDCard module, 4.5" LCD. The biggest huddle is the 370Z PID messages. Looks like is a spreadsheet that has been created with a good number of PIDs decoded, but it is far from complete. There are PIDs that UpRev and HpTuners knows about( logs and/or uses for tuning ) that are missing. It would be awesome to have the short and long term fuel trims, wideband data, engine load, base fuel schedule, etc. I am guessing they have signed NDAs with Nissan to get them.
So.... I can definitely write the software and provide required hardware. Decoding the missing PIDs is going to take some work, anyone interested in doing that or helping out?
