KiwiRS4T Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 got my Nismo ECU today!What is it? A replacement stand alone ecu like a pfc or a standard ecu with a daughterboard and tunable chip? Straight plug in or wire in? Sounds exciting!

Sounds exciting! Its a complete replacement, standalone ecu. Not tunable, its just a 'nismo knows best' sort of case. Should just plug straight in (Judging by the images Ive seen of it compared to the standard ecu.. its the same size/shape).

richzx Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Won't it have to have a daughterboard or something in order for Nismo to tune it? There must be something along these lines or they've just put a sticker on it and it's the same tune we all have.

There must be something along these lines or they've just put a sticker on it and it's the same tune we all have. maybe the daughterboard.....but it not just re stickered .... have just taken the Haltech piggy back off and run it with both the standard ECU and Nismo ECU.....the are definitely different. Am going to get it run up on a dyno next week to show the differences with my set up......IMO I think the Nismo would be awesome with the standard turbo.....will find out later tonight how it goes with a standard turbo maybe.

richzx Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 That's what I thought, it has to have been modified in some way to tune it. What are your seat of the pants feelings regarding the differences? I guess it's hard to tell if there's more timing other than if it's pinging. Does having this help SAS at all? Surely they would already know how to put a daughterboard in and would know how to tune it? I can't see where the hold up is with this, can someone explain to me as I'm obviously missing something. Not having a go or anything I'm just curious where the difficuluty lies with this whole re-flash thing.

Seat of the pant's = more progressive midrange application with boost...instead of the peaky shit, light footed response better, shift better, 6,700rpm limit. Like I said before I am thinking this will be a better unit for the stock turbo...will let you know later on tonight how it goes. SAS will get the tune and have promised me a tune ASAP on delivery....hold up is the delivery of the programming unit.

RubyRS4 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Started fitting Series 2 R33 rotors and calipers to the Stagea today. from 16mm thick to 18mm thick and Sumitomo twin piston calipers replacing the 1 pot calipers. Used pads in it for now until I order some QFM this week. Finishing off the install and bleeding tomorrow. Then next weekend fitting 297mm rotors and 4 piston Sumitomo calipers ... and ordering some QFM pads up front too. All purchased (not inc QFM pads) for under $150 (and some labour).

BoostedBarge Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 My wife and I just bought a 2003 Mini Cooper S for her to use as a daily. That means the Stag is no longer a daily driver and I can do what I want to it. Hehehe Oh, another positive... it turns out the Mini has a John Cooper Works kit which boosts power from 120 to 155kw Previous owner must have spent a lot of money on it. Kit includes exhaust, supercharger, cylinder head, air box, injectors and remap. Bonus for me. The down side is that I'm overseas and the wife picked it up yesterday, so I'll have to wait 2 weeks til I can drive it.
