Ecu Chip

[ZacZerbst]

Hey everyone. I have renently purchased an 1990 r32 gtr. When picking it up the owner mentioned that it was chiped and tuned over in japan and recommended taking it easy until I got it retuned for australian fuel standards.

What i am wanting to know is if there is any way to tell if it has been chipped or not? I had a look at the ecu today and it had a sticker that said remanufactured ecu. But after a bit of a search i found that this didnt mean anything.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Possibly.

Best to take it to a tuner - soon. Get them to give it once over as well as check ECU.

Your right to be a little nervous when sellers say stuff like that.

I'm paranoid - I trust no one !

Im planning on taking it to a tuner when i get my tax back. Living 5 hours from any decent workshops doesnt make things easy. For now i think ill just leave it in the garage

Best to source a standard ECU or one with Nistune chip. You can put the base map on the Nistune and then go for a drive to get it tuned.

New ECU plus tune.

It may cost some coin, but you won't spit a leg out of bed in the mean time!
