Yes, we are still working on it. Right now I'm waiting on a module to be returned by a beta tester so it can be upgraded and field tested. At that point I will make the documentation for others to upgrade their units (3 more people).

I've been really busy lately, and the weather here in Ohio has not supported me driving my car for the past few months, so I haven't been able to do much "real" world testing.

OK, I got the module back to be modified, so we are moving forward!

I was also able to get the G35 out today and do some more testing around town. Thus far I haven't found any bugs in the current firmware. If all goes well we should have testing feedback within the next 2 weeks!

Yes, it is your module that I have. Hopefully it'll be ready to ship back tonight, but with Easter and a few other things going on I'm way behind.

SFLG35, I'm going to use Reptile718s module to document how to upgrade the modules in the field, so after I'm done with his you'll get your parts in the mail.

I got Reptiles module upgraded and I made a DIY for the few others that are going to do the upgrade.

You all should be seeing your module/parts soon!

Once this testing is done, if everything goes well, we will be on to production!

To the people who have chosen to upgrade: http://www.kptechnologies.com/forums...79b537aea04716

The link includes instructions on how to upgrade the hardware, instructions on which wire to move (parking light wire is now brake wire), and how to program the tach signal to make the new features work.

Hopefully this weekend SFLG35 will have his updated version installed.

I still haven't heard from my other two guys who are testing the version 2.5.

I actually still have a little bit of coding to do on my end, but it is almost finished. The code the guys are testing out will work great on a 350Z/G35 but may lack the calibration data required to make it work with other engine signals. Basically, their module is hardcoded to work with a 1 pulse per revolution signal. The final version will be compatible with any RPM signal you can throw at it, from 1/2 pulse per revolution all the way to 12 pulses per revolution.

I really hope to make these available VERY soon. I may even be looking for one or two more testers to provide me feedback in exchange for a slight discount on the module.

I'm in Illinois and would be interested in providing feedback if needed. I've done reviews in the past for RSR.

I'd love to try out the testing version, as much as I work on the Z, I'd probably be able to give you feedback daily.
