Hey Bill,

I'm curious as in how do you mount the Adaptronic ECU?

Is it mounted where the stock ecu resides in?

Hey Grant, yeah it lives in the same location as the factory ecu. I just had to move a couple of relays out of the way and drilled one hole to mount it where I wanted it. Plastic foot well cover fits over it and hides it nicely. I'll take a pic when I get a chance and put it up.

Hey Grant. Here's the pics. I used to have it the other way so the loom plugged in from the right but it didn't leave much room for the USB and wideband input, I ended up snapping the USB port off. Adaptronic was very helpful. This way gives plenty of room above for those inputs and it fits nice and neat, the cover also fits back on perfectly. I did also relocate 2 relays. Im not sure if the GTR is any different but I guess you're going to find out pretty soon. bf0b7a751511ce4c812c408582c7417e.jpg7af54f6f57fa41d2e78baf2b3d5ba078.jpge49da880cdb1f1daf82c1cd50492fbc4.jpg

Thanks again Bill.

I've sussed out another solution last night.

Take apart brackets from stock ECU and then I compared it to both Power FC I have and stock ECU with Adaptronic, width is the same and it mounts like stock ECU do.

The plan is to velcro strip to hold it together, see how I go.

Thanks again.

I shaved off the tabs and used the OEM brackets and drilled into it.. works a treat however the rear USB plug sits against the firewall padding.. but using a 90 degree USB plug work "ok".

I too snapped off my USB plug, but I managed to solder it back and then applied 1000000000x coats of super glue to it LOL

Super glue ftw. In my case I burnt an led while trying to solder the USB back on. Oops. The guys at adaptronic came to my rescue. Absolute legends.

oooots!

need Plazmaman cooler [emoji4]


That would be nice but its probably worth more than my car, lol. AWD would be nice too, that ain't gonna happen either. Can't afford any more mods, too busy pumping e85 in the fuel tank and helping United make massive ethanol profits[emoji3]

Probably could get a generic 76mm pro series core at a good price :)

Holla if you're ever interested.. also can get good prices on DBA rotors, Hel lines and especially Intima Pads!

Will deff keep you in mind[emoji106]

New tyres fitted this morning. Buy 3 get 1 free. Fresh 2016 production 265/35/18 AD08R. Thank you Mr Yokohama and Mr Bob Jane for the excellent pricing. Definitely an improvement over the Achilles 123S which weren't bad but just did not last.

Looks awesome! Do you drive this daily? 


Yep, driven just about every day and at every possible opportunity. I thought about putting a baby seat in the back so I could drive it even more but stopped short on that idea[emoji3] . lol
shit got real when you daily some AD08s lol


At $263 each fitted. I can afford to daily them. Got to try to get the power to the ground somehow. For that price, I'd choose ad08's every time. Sadly it is very rare, I think the guys at Bob Jane may have even f#*ked up with that price but I sure as hell wasn't going to question it. I couldn't say yes any quicker actually[emoji12]

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
