I just ordered myself an ecutalk for my R33 GTR.

Having just realised the size of the unit, question one where have others put

their ecutalk. (Orginally I was going to put this in my ashtray / modify my ashtray etc)

But I don't think it will fit.

Question two are these things legal.

ta Henry...

no ecu change or piggyback is legal, be it a remap, stand alone, piggyback or modification of the stock one

you would usually get pinged for it as it alters the cars emissions

But on the ecutalk you can now change fuel / ignition timings , doesn't that count towards changing

car emissions.

Paul,

I think you are refering to the cars ecu, The ecutalk is just a diplay of the OBD, I beleive it can do changes only while the ignition is on and returns when off...

Montie.

they are ever so slightly smaller than a din socket. I have mine installed below my radio but above the ashtray...

pretty cool at dispaying stats etc , just have to figure out what they all mean.. doh! oh & update the firmware as well, havnt tried that one yet...

Ps much bigger than ash tray

My ecutalk arrived today (thanks Peter)

Thanks Dazza for the input.

I decided to put it on top of the ashtray (with some velcro)

Now for the fun in using it....

The unit has already paid for itself.

I got an air flow meter fault. (i have had trouble in the past) and there is the problem.

Pulled my meters out & pods too.(totally filthy & lots of oil in the meters & pipes)

I've cleaned out the meters , and currently waiting for my new pods to arrive before

I put every back in.

      There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:

      And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.

      Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.

      I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.

      Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.
