Hey guys when i brought my car i was told it had a mines ecu but after pulling the kick panel off i noticed there was no mines tape or anything saying mines as ive seen with others, yet i don't have the 180kph speed cut & the rev limit is 8500rpm, so i decided to pull it apart today but i don't know what im looking for lol so i took some pics.

so my question is, is it stock or not?

looks stock.

unless they redid the actual chip itself without relabel - which is out of character. Although one of the chips does have a bit missing on the edge. Mmight have been played with.

if you dont have a limiter, could have just had the speed wire cut to the ECU

Either way nothing to be excited about, a decent ECU would be required regardless.

If the rev limit is 8500rpm, the factory limiter is 8000rpm on GTR ECUs, so I would imagine the RB25DET would be the same or lower. It most likely is a Mine's ECU, or a jap aftermarket chip at least.. jap tuners set the rev limit high to avoid the hard cut smashing the oil pump gears.

no worries thanks for the answers thumbsup.gif will be getting an after market ecu within a few weeks was just checking in case i ever want to sell it

Worth what a stock ECU is worth really, maybe $50-$100

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
