was wondering if anyone could shed some more light on this eg. if its tuneable here and stuff like that.

thanks.

Its funny, you guys think they are worth nothing yet some people are paying big bucks to import them for newer VQ powered cars, mainly as there are no other options. These ecu's sell for 2k new so there must be a lot of r+d in them unfortunately the fuel is different and the map cant be changed over here. The minute a remap is released for my car, these will be worth nothing again as you say.

Probably because Nismo think it's the same as Euro stuff :down:

Sadly the software/part's doesnt cost anywhere near as much as the Bosch ECU gear (like in Audi/VW Gti's etc), so i cannot see how they are justifying a $1500 flash tune.

I can understand the Euro stuff given the software & codes/license costs big $$...

So doesnt neccesarily mean there is a lot of R&D within the tunes in my book.

yeah it would just be a remap of the std maps to suit fuel, boost up and speed cut removal most likely

its better than the std ECU by far but once you do other mods its time to retune anyway

so whilst your on stock turbos and a bit of a boost up its probably fine

there might be some more midrange / max power gains by a full standalone tune however

do a bit of research before you go flogging it scotty... i searched for about 2 mins and have seen a couple of people that said that map is 100 ron

the sticker on the ecu does say to use premium fuel only. it seems to be running fine on bp ultimate though, but ill try and take it a bit more easy until i go to my mechanics.

ok no probs, the boost restrictor was removed so it runs over 1 bar which other r34 gtr owners said is normal so thats good. maybe the previous owner got nismo turbo's installed as well lol.

doesnt make sense if you think about it

if you have a 34R with aftermarket turbos why would you sell it at the base model price

surely you would jack the price up higher referencing the aftermarket turbochagers etc

i got it in a jap auction with the help of iron chef imports. he knew i was looking for a r34 gtr and he sent me an email with this one that one of his guys got at auction over there and asked if i was interested. so of course i said yes. it probably doesnt have aftermarket turbo's but i can still wish lol.

Best bet is to go to your local nistune guy and suck the timing and fuelling settings out to analyse it, i have had some come in that are PERFECT ie i have charged for a dyno run only as they were so good it was a rort to charge for a tune.

Other times they are rich and advanced too much.

PS its not tunable, once off unfortunately.

    • I have always resisted the urge to go silly. 8" wide wheels and street friendly spring rates? Check. (Let's not talk about the steadily increasing spread of spherical joints across my suspension!!) Stock turbo, run at 12 psi? Check. Lasted for ?10 years before it died. Highflow put on rather than seizing the opportunity to go G45. You don't need 300 rwkW, let alone the more massive numbers that seem to be essential these days, to have a car that is already way too powerful and fast for a streeter. ~250rwkW is fine. I've never exceeded 200, although I will sneak up above it if and when I manage to get my finger out and do what needs to be done to use the highflow's capacity. You don't need $10k worth of CF bits glued onto the outside. You don't need razor sharp ankle cutting front splitters. You don't need the car to be 2" off the ground. You don't need flawless paint, mirror finished wheels, brand new indicator lenses, etc etc. All these things just make the car impractical and will cause you pain when they get damaged, which is inevitable for a street car. A few nice additions are good. Good seats are good. A nice stereo is good. A/C is good! (46° on the road yesterday and my A/C is degassed again. Was moderately traumatic driving home!) The main reason I stick with a mildly modified old Skyline is that I have had it for  >25 years, the mods are the rolling result of 25 years of things dying and being upgraded opportunistically, coupled with a few "just 'coz" ones. And I hate modern almost all cars. If I was a young buck starting out now.... I wouldn't bother. Cars have a few years left where there is any possibility of interest or fun. Thereafter there will be no such thing allowed or possible. Any time, money and effort spent now on a project would just be a waste.
    • Let's be wary though, if cranking is so far off, what else isn't set right? Are the dead times set right, voltage compensation etc?   It definitely sounds like it's cranking fuel issues, and holding flat to the floor is shutting them down, but I'm with Duncan that if nothing was changed in the ECU at all, and then this started, I'd be more thinking a leaking injector.   Do as Duncan said, drop the oil and make sure it's not full of fuel.
    • It actually means give it less throttle.
    • Yeah if the goal is to drive something then modifying a car is a bad idea.
    • Wowee! She looks like a major handful out there Pete!
