i bought some glue today and went to attach it and found out that some of it must have falen off on the road where the "ahem" incident happened :blink: . So there wasnt enough left to attach it.

What *ahem* incident might that be?

Please tell me you didn't have a bingle?!

And I'm not talking a Lara either, we'd all like one of those!! :laugh:

I think we should just refer to it as "the " incident and speak of it no more :) .

I'm crediting some of the blame on lack of sleep (new Baby arrived day after Stagea). Now I'm so pissed at myself I can't even walk up to the car without becoming pissed (at myself). Hence the almost desparate desire to replace the front bumper with an aero kit! Oh and the stupid air vent thing which is half with me and half on a friggin road somewhere.

I am trying to get hold of an M35 ECU (VQ25DET) for a test remap to be done on it.

If anyone know's of a wrecker's anywhere in Australia that has an M35 on it's inventory please let me know.

The mines VX-ROM looks good and is about A$2k and is tuned to 100 RON fuel. . . I wonder if 98 would be good enough. . . but $2k is a lot of money. . probably get better mods for that. .

I have asked a mate to see how hard it is to get a stock ECU when he flys through Japan. .

That is a damn shame (so do you still have that deep sick feeling in your gut?).

Simple solution though!

Buy the ARC intercooler! Bolts on using existing pipes but does not use the air deflector, is much thicker and is a Q.U.A.L.I.T.Y. unit.

Teren,

Can supply a brand new engine control computer part number 23710-AQ800 ex Japan for $2850.

Many Thanks,

Andrew

fail.....

Whoa! Who was that through. FTG Nissan can bring in a brand new one for $2369.55 inc GST (which I still find quite expensive)

you know i actually did think of that since they're quite well priced. We're on the same wave length.

well we only need one ecu for test right? this is just to go to silverwater for them to work out a solution??

It's for testing and development, he doesn't want to risk frying one that belongs to someone's vehicle.

So that is why he is after a spare ECU so he can play.

I actually popped into SAS today and said hello to Tom, top bloke.

Just came across the second one too..

i think i will get im to email them

will we be able to get few guys to throw in for it?

Judging from the sticker on the 2nd ECU, it's a VQ25DE not a VQ25DET :thumbsup:

From what we have seen so far the VQ25DET ECU's are printed on not stickers.

Looks like I may have tracked down an Australian Wrecker with an M35 Half-cut!

Even better they look like they are willing to sell the ECU on it's own, but I'm not getting too excited as they think it's a VQ25DE engine. I wouldn't think they would import a half-cut of that variety as the VQ25DET is the only model allowed via import?!

Hopefully I will find out tomorrow and then I can get excited.

I've also requested that this wreckers send me some pics of the half-cut so I can post them up on the forum incase you guys are after any of the bits and pieces left on it.

It's had a pretty major front on so I think the front will be dead but maybe some engine parts/dash etc will be good. Will post up piccies when they send them to me.

I've had another nibble, I'm not holding my breath but hopefully he will come back to me with some good prices after he has had a check around!

Hello Stephen, Pls let me know by reply if you still need the ECU you requested to prestige Motorsport. I am in Japan now + can let you know price and availability early next week. Thank You Ken

    • I once hit my knee on an exhaust on my sisters Suzuki Sierra after she drove it her *normal* way. My knee looked like porridge for weeks. Bec and my daughters never go near this car. I can see one of my dogs losing an ear though. 🤔
    • Nice, love a good GTS-t.  IMHO the factory body kit with the 'aero' front bumper is perfect. Can't improve on it unless it's a GT-R. But it looks like you changed it to the normal bumper?
    • Easy solution to both of those. Put a split bit of garden hose on each one. Attractive and practical!
    • So I guess the next thing to do will be to discuss whether to create a new section of the forums to hold the library (boo hiss?), somewhat undoing the recent tidy up, or if there is a bolt on wiki module for Invision? (I must profess ignorance as to what has been done, what it might cost, etc. I have only briefly googled and seen discussion on adding it.) Or is a wiki even the best way to do what I'm talking about? It possibly isn't. Given that we're trying to re-display forum content, it probably needs to be presented as forum content in forum format, and a wiki would probably struggle with that. A wiki might still be the best way to do some other things, so I'll keep the idea simmering if we don't use it here. Back to the library as "part of the forums". Would we do a single new library? Or put a library thread in each section? Pluses and minuses for each of these, surely. Would we do as I originally suggested, and make the first post in the library be the total of the library, with any reply posts just being the inputs and suggestions I originally posited? Or would we allow posts to accumulate one after the other, each containing additions to the library? Maybe the first post is still an index or something. It's all sounding horribly more manual and messy than my original brain fart. But I hope there's some other good ideas floating around - because every time I come up with a new one of my own I immediately see problems with it.  
    • Tips look fine to me......but Boring stuff: Legalities - Vehicle standards notes that exhausts cannot extend to a point where they could cause injury Scary stuff: Mrs cuts open her shin putting stuff in the boot (ensure you have some bandaids and shiny jewellery handy)
