I'm under the impression that the factory ECU contains security/immobiliser data, in that its not as simple as simple unplugging one ECU and plugging in another. Nissan needs to recode it. The IMPUL ECUs are based on the factory item and would be the same. You will have trouble installing one outside of Japan. Somebody correct me if im wrong.

Anyhow, I have one in my car actually. If you are interested here is a dyno chart.. check out the AFRs. They are all over the place and a little lean. So you're not missing out on much. p.s., yes, the power figure is low, but i'm told that its just this particular dyno. In comparison a 100% stock 350z did 148kw, and a 2005 rev.up 350z with a few mods did 169kw (but my mid range is about 5kw beefier).

It does work, but its definitely not worth the price tag.

The main benefits for me are a higher rev limit, and no 180 km/ph speed cut. I've done well over 200 at phillip island.

Anyway.. check this out. An overlay of my dyno chart against a mates 2005 rev up 350z (factory 221kw). You will notice that the rev up motor has a much much better top end, but mine makes a little more power everywhere else. Probably due to the aggressive (and almost dangerous) tune of the IMPUL ecu.

What do you mean agressive dangerous tune ?

    • Absolutely this. Yes, except not vacuum hose. Something oil/fuel safe is a better idea.
    • Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?
    • The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage. 
    • Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)
    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
