Both ECUS were running and the car was operational, all wiring has been checked and found to be in perfect order, this is what I've been told and have no reason to dought it.But in the back of my mind I wonder,so we will find out when the third one goes in soon. I was surprised that adaptronic was going to swap it with one of the haltech units but very disappointed they wernt going to chip in with the dyno needed to tune that ECU, after spending a hell of a lot of money I need to ease up a bit and get some driving time in and enjoy what is a awesome car, after all I wanted a new ECU for greater protection for my motor and peace of mind.

 

Wiring was checked, but was the voltage checked?

Why would they pay for dyno time? it's like DeWalt sells you a drill, then replaces it with the new Dewalt XR series and you ask them to build you a new garage (bad analogy but you get the idea).

when a problem arises its not as simple as some think, they have to find whats going on, which means time and money spent. the second unit put in still has to be put on the dyno and run to make sure everything is running properly, there's more time and money, that's my point. That would have to be one of the worst analogy's I've ever herd.If indeed the units were faulty I should be reimbursed for the time and money having to find the issues but I know that's not the way it works but I thought it was worth a try.You carn't just send the ECU back to them for a exchange without logs and the issues at hand. this is time consuming and someone will end up out of pocket.

Yeah I remember calling them last year as I'd heard good things about them. I thought they were the most arrogant, up themselves lot ever. I mentioned swapping from FC d Jetro to Haltech Elite and they basically scoffed at me for even suggesting it.

I here you, its a shame at the end of the day your one tiny little peace of the puzzle they couldn't give a rats about, but they have made a big mistake this time treating a reputable business the way they have, its only going to hurt them in the long run.Word of mouth is a powerful thing.

Put it this way, you don't see many fast cars (Drag/Coota/Roll Racing/Circuit/WTAC) using a PowerFC, but if a shop insists on using a PowerFC then yeah.

Yes it might make the power, but there's no engine protection, no spare I/Os, no closed loop strategies, no anything really.

spot on Johnny, when we spend outrages amount's off money on built engines we need as many protections as possible,as you have just stated these are what all new ECUS provide today and is what people want nomatter what ECU brand they buy.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
