In the spring, I will be meeting up with a few local 370 folks (Toronto) and see what the options are for gauge placement and start to design the enclosure for the LCDs.

Ok thank, most interested in what the gross (enclosure) size winds up being.

What screen size are you most interested in?

The current version now has 8 pages of data and by the end of today I will have a total of 14 pages of CAN bus, Bluetooth and OBD live data.

I want to make sure the hardware can receive and process all this data AND continue to re-draw the LCD screen of 30 times per second, for smooth gauge animation.

Tomorrow I am meeting up with a G37x owner to test displaying the current AT7 gear (even when in drive) live TPMS pressures, torque converter lockup, AT7 input/output shaft speed and the GT-R like % front axle torque.

Wish me luck!
