Hey all,

This is a pretty big ask, so I'm not expecting a huge response, but I'm desperate now. I've had my car at Allstar for 3 weeks now, was supposed to be for just a simple tune but has turned into quite an effort. Andy from Hyperdrive is working on the car while Sean is off on leave.

Basically the car is giving quite a few problems which Sean and Andy both believe to be a corrupt ECU, eg. revving itself to redline as soon as it starts without opening the throttle body at all, dropping cylinders randomly, etc. etc. Now the boys at Allstar have been checking basic things such as injectors going to correct plugs on the ECU, coils, etc. but nothing has had any effect yet.

So we are now at a stage where there isn't really a lot we can do without testing another ECU. My back-up plan is to purchase a Link G4 ecu, but there's no point spending 2 grand on an ECU if it isn't going to fix the problem. So I really just need a NIStuned RB25DET Neo ECU for a manual that Andy could plug in, test it out, and then give it back to you. If it does turn out to be the ECU then I will buy the Link G4, so I'm not looking to purchase another stock ECU. I just really need one to borrow for maybe a few hours.

Anyone? :(

Thanks,

Martin.

Didn't see this yesterday.

Thanks a lot for the offer mate, I appreciate it. I ended up buying the Link ECU anyway though, decided I would be better off changing ECU now than putting more money into an ECU I want to get rid of anyway.

Thanks again though :)

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
