Im sure they could do it, I just don't know what it will cost as they will have to learn the ecu oddities. I have paid over 2k in tuning time I think, Cihan has it down pat now. lol.

Its worth the trip, I have heard there are 4 cars coming down from Sydney soon... Are you doing the install with the stock turbo?

Nice. There would have to be someone in Adelaide who can tune it. Ill have to talk to a couple of the tuners I know and see if they can do it.

You would think that there would be someone in Sydney as well would you! Don't make the same mistake I did and throw money at BS artist's tuners who may give you a good end figure but a shit tune.....make sure they know what they are talking about....most of them have not even seen a VQ25DET.

The road trip is worth it to make sure it's done right. How much HP are you looking for BTW? There's 4 Stagea's in OZ atm all pumping better figures and more drivable than any others...Cihan tuned em all!

Oh man, some good stuff in this topic, but not enough hard straight, 'this is how you do it'.

Has anyone in Adelaide talked to Mark Tilbrook, Martin Donnan or Morpowa about what can be done with these cars?

How can an R35 GTR be tuned and not these?

I'm pretty sure one of the Adelaide lads approached Mr Donnon regarding tuning; and the answer was the same as most of the other channels.

The issue in not actually being able to tune the ECU; it can and has been done.

The issue is building a worthwhile business case for someone to actually set up the hardware to do it.

My understanding is; that there are several series/versions (up to 12?) of the VQ25DET ECU; so even if you can read/program one version, you may not be able to the next version.

So, if you own a car with the version that can be tuned; great; but if you don't; tough shit.

The number of potential customers isn't large enough to justify the expense of developing the reader/programmer.

TL/DR; Buy an E-manage or an F-con V Pro.

True, I was into wrxs a few years back, had an 02 and then an 06, both very nicely modded, this is like starting again. It would seem I've also picked the hardest nissan, awesome. lol

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
