I guess this goes in BS, but feel free to move it around. I'm not affiliated with nor own the following. I'm posting it here as a mater of information. I'm not sure where Nistune's Z32 knock monitoring development is in relation to this product.

Hi, I'm pleased to announce that the public beta of KnockSpy is now available for download from our website. KnockSpy is a tool for monitoring and logging the ignition timing and knock control systems in the Z32. A free trial version is available that supports standard CONSULT data (RPM, speed, coolant temp, MAF voltage, etc...) with data graphing and gauges (extended features, such as knock control monitoring and map tracing are not available in the trial version). To unlock all features, simply purchase a license through the website and you will be emailed an activation key immediately.

Check out the product page for more detailed information:http://www.zromtech.com/products.aspx?productid=1

You can post on my behalf if you wish:

Knock spy appears to retrieve its information from the consult port. So it cannot be connected simultaneously whilst Nistune is connected since there is only one consult port. Assuming there are no changes to the ROM that zromtech is using on the vehicle then Knockspy can be used with existing Type 2 boards. We only modify the consult code slightly with the Z32 base tune

Ediit - I'll purchase a copy to try out with Nistune

We would like to add knock reporting to Z32 and later models but as usual time is my main constraint, especially when support so many different models. ZRomtech only is working with a single vehicle so is able to specialise highly in investigation and data retrieval for that vehicle, which is why he is able to provide many more features for the Z32 ECU. I should be able to provide some basic reporting in a firmware update in the next few months depending how other firmware development goes
