V35 no problem, 350Z, Patrol also done. I will try and give you a call I use German tuning tools, come from a background of Porsche Tuning both DME and mechanical upgrades. Ex Factory Master Tech for Porsche UK. Built Cup car engines for a while. The ECU upgrades are similar to as you described. I look forward to finally talking to "DrDrift" J

The R32 ECU requires no boards fitted to allow tuning, only a socket to allow the memory to be removed and re-fitted. The cost of a "Postal Tune" for daughter board ECU's could be $500 and $700 for a full custom on the dyno. Even when you start with a dialed in tune it still would require at least one hours time to check and tune correctly. As a note we can also do the Nissan Patrol ECU, with a dual map set up on the board We have a 4800 here just getting finished off GT35/82R Turbo fitted with charge cooler. All running off the factory ECU, upgraded injectors and auto. Should be real silly. We also have complete tuning updates for all GTR35 vehicles including speed limiter removal and rev increase. Fitting centres in Sydney and Adelaide. I am unsure if I am allowed to put the names up as I am not a sponsor. J

Converting the ECU is not a big problem. However the tuning has to be done in HEX. This means whomever you are going to get to tune it will need some special software. It is not like VCM or Open ECU etc, it requires that you know the HEX address of the map areas you wish to change. Have a talk with a good tuning shop near you, maybe we can set them up to become a dealer for the product and help them with the software. We can tune it here and transferr the files to be uploaded at your end and tested. The chips we use require a particular programmer. You can test the tune on the dyno and we can make the changes here, then send you the file and you "flash" it in and test again. This might work. See if you local tuner wants to get involved. J

Hi. I hope to clear up what it is we do and how much it is. We modify the stock ECU with a board made with the help of a Korean friend Kuk, from Kuks Autos in S Korea. The m\board allows us to store the "maps" on seperate re-flashable memory, not like UV style chips. Also imbedded is an additional socket allowing the use of a real time emulator. Allowing the skilled tuner, with the correct knowhow and software, to real time custom tune the vehicles ECU. The board is contained within the factory ECU case. All standard diag tools still function perfectly as does the factory boost controller. I have been wondering about pricing, and reading all the posts. As my main area has been remapping mainly Euro cars using only the factory DME (Digital Motor Electronics) for many years. I am sure that you guys can give me an honest opinion. I would think that for a basic tune such as the one shown in this thread should cost $750. This includes a complete custom tune to suit that exact vehicle. Not a simple "blow n go" tune, which are never perfect, or take into account the precise tune for that exact vehicle. The whole job takes over 4 hours start to finish and involves some very expensive equipment. Full enclosed 4WD dyno cell with 20kw of extraction system. Realtime data streaming. State of the art hi speed emulation equipment, allowing real time access to all running maps. Solder re-work station, hi speed programmers, laptops, coffee Experienced blokes (who dont come cheap nowdays). Remember that this upgrade allows you, or us to tune the car again and again. Using the factory ECU is the best solution for 90% of tuned cars, all the nice starting, dials working correctly, good knock control, closed loop control, the list goes on. This is less than the cost of a re-map on a LS1 etc, around $600-$700 less than a VW TFSI Golf. I am happy to answer any questions.
