R32 remapping is common in perth now smooth and cheap  

Dcieve I bet you wish you could remap....   still no chance on the 31 redtop codes i reacon

sure do, would save me stuffing around with wires for many hours as no plugins for r31 like there is for 32/3's. how are remaps with larger injectors?

bangers 300+hp on stock turbs is a good indication of links ability.

So many horror story's about so many different ecu's. never heard a horror story about a std re-tuned ecu =) Everything that worked before still works exactly the same as before it was tuned. Only, now you have a tuned car. You just can't go wrong.

Skip the ECU install and buying costs and go directly to the tuning costs. I havn't seen a std ecu install wiring harness fail, drain batteries or fry countless coilpacks in the process of 'tuning'... 15 years on and things still work =) Cold start, idle and cruise with perfect fuel economy every time, without fail...

Link is fine for 1/4 mile but the factory ecu is a better all round computer in terms of driveability, smoothness etc.

Dont forget that it also cost about as much as an ecu remap to get a link tuned which is why I eventuall ended up selling my link before I even installed it.

who does your tuning, best ive seen is around 800 for a remap which is the best option for a 32, but ive never ever seen anyone charge that for tuning an aftermarket ecu. initial dyno tune may be 200 and then touched up on the street at 60p/hr. any further mods may take an hour to fix up the mapping

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
