No sat nav, no speed limiter.

Cobb AP is just a hand controller you flash your standard ECU with. Haltech is a complete replacement ECU.

Thanks to those that replied .So which one's better?Haltechs blow it up or Cobbs widely acclaimed reflash considering no speed limiter on the Oz spec.On GTR-MOD.com I saw the Cobb available for about a grand US and the Haltech for nearly 6 grand.Zeal also have an ECU 4 JDM.So who's right?

Over a certain power level you'll need to go to the Haltech. Theres quite a number of reasons. Injector size increases, ignition mods, MAP sensors that can read past 22psi etc.

The Haltech solution will be very solid when released.

Zele and other Japanese tuners are selling pre-flashed OEM ECUs which aren't going to be that suitable for Aussies since there's no support once you install it. The exception is Power Enterprise which are selling a reflash and a box of electronics which intercepts ECU signals before they reach the ECU so it is tuneable to some extent.

The solution for most GT-R owners is that someone in Australia needs to become an AccessTuner Pro shop and offer custom tunes for the AccessPort. Otherwise the Haltech will have the best support here.

There are already 2 in Melbourne that have applied for it (Cobb Pro software) that I know of - and I believe it all should be turning up in the next couple of weeks.

But I think the Cobb will be the Power FC of the R35 world. It's certainly what I'll be using.

Thats good news. The Cobb is already well established and even the Japs are being converted. Top Secret, AutoSelect and other tuner shops are using it on their GT-Rs...

We have already set up a JDM spec GT-R with the Stage 1 Cobb AP and the results were brilliant. They are brilliant and user friendly in terms of set up and functionality (anyone can modify the various set up modes), removes the 180kph limiter, and allows you to clear any error codes that may appear on OEM display..Also boosts performance from 0.8 bar stock to a fraction peak boost of around 1.05 bar. Translates to substantial difference, particluarly in midrange..

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
