theres a GB on aus300zx at the moment

Well, if my purchase can be added to that and paypal doesn't rip everyone off then add me to it, otherwise the deal will just have to be done as is.

[NewKleer]

well if u want to go in the GB i can do a full refund (paypal refunds fees also), might take 3-5 days to go back on CC, and u can get it later in group buy (probably start next month i imagine), or i can continue with it as normal and send it out by monday

Cheers Peter,

Carry on outside the GB & ship Monday.

And now back to your regular programming...

Hey all, just thought id add my bit;

I bought an Ecutalk cable of ebay for$60 and bought an adapter cable (also of ebay) to convert it to usb for $5, the converter cable was 1,5 meters long so when connected, the laptop can sit comfortably on the passenger seat. For me it was cheaper and I got a longer length than buying the Usb version cable.

if u buy a serial ecutalk cable on ebay, before u pay send a message, say u want a usb/serial and one can be sent for extra $5 added to invoice. its the 'a111 usb serial' as mentioned in item description, 3foot long roughly.

the only issue with usb/serial converters is some of them dont work reliably (and FTDI based ones, which is the chip used in the usb cable, are expensive).

I just bought an ECUTalk cable.

I'm going to try it with my Impul ECU (not that much different from stock)

Hopefully it works, if not... oh well.

is impul a daughterboard (still using stock ecu)?

as you paid with echeque itll take a few days to clear

-Overview-

- Better air fuel ratios

- Ups the boost a little

- Takes out speed cut

- Increases rev limit to 9000rpm

- Tweaked fuel maps so you can run more boost safely

- Plugs straight in, no other modifications required

Just read this.

Impul is just rechipped Nissan ECU even with Nissan part number for the tune...

Read out the image using EPROM programmer or consult and then that can be modified. As mentioned above either Dr Drift or a tuner with Nistune can do this for you... and use that as a base tune to work from

Those chips are soldered in so you will still need to get ECU resocketed

[QWK32]

should work ok with it, since it retains the nissan programming, just modified.

[NewKleer]

yep, assuming the consult code is still intact (in theory its possible to modify a rom to stop consult working, e.g. to protect someone from downloading your rom). fortunately i havent heard of any daughterboards/remaps etc losing consult capabilities (if anything only rom reading support, but even then most commerical tunes i dont remember hearing they disabled rom read).

so should be all good

[Scadtional]

Sweet.

I'll tell you how it goes.

[BensDR30]

I reckon I might get a V2 display & permanently mount it in the car.

***edit***

Just bought one...

I picked up my new display unit from the post office today, plugged it in to the RSFV, configured the engine parameters for the trip meter and hey presto, I can now see how much fuel I'm burning

And as an aside, it shows all the ECU data just fine

[NewKleer]

knowing how much fuel ur using and when is probably one of the best ways to save fuel
