350gt Am Ecu Options

[Messiah]

Hi all, i'm still searching or the car but while i'm at it i thought i'd start planning the modification list for a 350gt

Seeing as the good ol' pfc route isnt an option can anyone recommend a good ecu to go with a 350gt. i've done a search and seen some mentions of flash tunes etc etc but i'm stuck in old habits from my gtst, so i'm looking for something a little more capable.

I was looking at the vipec for my gtst, has anyone tried one in combination with a 350gt, i know that it might be wasting some of the nifty features that the vipec offers but from all reports its the bees knees in all other aspects.

Any first hand knowledge/experience with AM 350 ecu's would be greatly appreciated.

they said your car need to be reprogrammed or otherwise the immobiliser will stop you from starting the car with the new ECU.

if your car don't come with the metal tag with the immobiliser code on it from Japan (e.g. the prev. owner lost it) then it's pretty much a dead end for you. cos the dealer here need that immobiliser code to be able to reprogram the car on the new ECU.

regarding wat is said above... is the code same as the code for making a new set of keys?? If so, then i m in big trouble, coz i just put deposit for an ecu...

[rs73]

I believe the right answer to that is ..... YES

Not having that code is one of the reasons I suspect seeing some seller flocking off their brand new Impul ECU or anything for V35 on ebay prior to actually using them on their car... or they may have got the codes, but they can't find a dealer who is willing to reprogram their 'grey import' and thus flocking it off ebay hoping either some poor sod took the bait or someone else luckier with reprogramming thing catch the bargain...

I have an Autronic SM4 running standalone and the car still starts and runs fine, better then factory actually, the factory ecu is still there just to keep the BCM happy, bit tricky wiring it in and my car was the first to have the autronic, my tuner and autronic wrote the software using my car. Big thanks to Matty Spry at PITS!

I love the Autronic its an awesome ECU with plenty of options and extras, and ive used a few.
