So priced up a ECUtek bluetooth Dongle for my 2020 V37 400R and after reading No Tuning credits included i thought i will investigate this.

So looking into what this was i stumbled across a ECUtek dealer where you can buy Flash points or Tuning credits for $2.50 each.

then i went down the list of tunes they have for engines/cars and i see VR30DDTT for 300x Points.

so is this meaning that a tune for my VR30 is going to cost 2.50x300

Im guessing its just for the file no dyno tune?

or am i completley wrong?

Well, I've got no idea how ECUtek's tuning works, but I am interested in what you learn :)

Total guess, but I'd expect anyone tuning an existing tune file it will be a remap for a stock or mildly modified car (eg new exhaust) and will be locked so you can't see or modify it yourself

With ECUTek you purchase a "key" to load and modify the tune, once you buy the "key", cable and software you can play around all you want, the tune and ability to change it is locked to that cars ECU's with the "key" though

My 86 ran ECUTek, Pulse Racing could run it up, log and play with the tune to get it on point, same thing is currently going on with the MX5 at MX5 Mania as we speak

Ok nice so im guessing its kinda like the Cobb for my WRX where its married to the ECU?

So 1 dongle and it must be in the car to use that tune so you cant just by 1 dongle and use it on all your cars?

so im paying $750 for the VR30DDTT key and then i can use it as much as i want for that car?

I would email them for the info you require and if/how they support your car with setup and features 

There's also a ton of YouTube vids with ECUTek stuff out there as well

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      By bcozican · Posted

      OK WTAC '24 adventures - dont know if anyone wants to hear it past whats been put out already but hey I'll put some of it out anyway and try give some insight   Summary : end result - 6th open class and 1.31.1 lap   How'd we get that   Following the above after Aus Time Attack at Winton and driving the car up to Sydney to store the rb2.8 went in so got to fly over to Sydney the Monday before the event     The car was with Greg at Sydney Composites workshop - we got straight to work that arvo changing out the front wheel bearings as they flog out allll the time.   A new bonnet was being made and my goodness its nice !  also new bigger canards were put on as I was the first one to trial the new canards and after testing from others bigger basically proved to be better rather than my initial cut down version.   We also did ride height changes and setup was there till 1am Wed morning but got it all done     A big focus this year was to get me some seat time on SMP - laps for me = good so has an extra prac Wed morning to roll around so up at 6am to track     Basically 2 quick sessions and 3 'hot laps' we quickly worked out that the custom red / golds  MCA's I had in werent valved strong enough to hold up all the new aero at these speeds, we suspected at Winton but were hoping... but alas nope. Also the tyres I had on from Winton were gone and just down right dangerous haha   So... some appropriately valved MCA golds were sources from Canberra and driven up straight to the track for me to borrow and retro fitted with my current stuff and some better used tyres put on from Xtreme.     Got into the arvo where I had to take more prac spot so took it - we got 2 x goes at a lap but the setup was wrong and was porposing like crazy so aborted each one but we got it sorted correctly after but didnt get to go out again   WTAC official prac Thurs   Did 3 sessions of 1 lap each time no power - suspension better few tweeks here and there and got to get a little bit of a groove back all seemed OK   We found the car getting back to some understeer because we still had the old rear suspension in and it couldnt handle the aero load but had no options so had to work around it ... it ended up scraping the rear diffuser that sits quite away off the ground that how much it was !   WTAC - Competition day 1     Morning Session - usually the best - wound it up had a crack was good but safe and not the max from a push p.o.v 1.31.6   The wind then picked up as did temp went out just for a lap on no power for second session did a solid 1.33 totally sat out the last session as no point due to track conditions   WTAC - Competition day 2   Morning session - full send !  - ran it hard down the front straight as I got to T1 turn in car faulted and switched off - tried to do another lap after resetting tyre pressures and fuel but was not working properly and got blocked and then had red flag anyway haha - bad   Long story short - the balancer had gone and as well took the DBW with it     Organized chaos ensued - between my team - Dahtones and Herman and just about everyone else we got everything needed and a new 1500 ATI put on - luckily thee was a Bosch motorsport stand in trader ally and they let us take the DBW they had on display to put on my car !  legends   So at this point we've only done 1 real lap , missed the good session in the morning missed session 2   Pit walk was upon us and is always so busy but great and met @soviet_merlin and others we also try to get as many kids in the car for fun and photos as possible + meet people     Session  3 - last one - wind was up, track was horrible didn't matter had to go - launched it as good a I could. We changed setup to leave the car in 5th gear into front straight so I didnt have to change down and worked well just held it flat max powas and max rpm - 282 kmph and 217kph around T1 (this has to improve alot )was up 1.2 secs into T8 despite mistakes and as previously said tyres just started going to mush - I couldnt get it around T8 properly lost most of my time picked more up with last 3 corners ended up 5.5 tenths up on previous good lap for new PB but missed out on top 5 by 6 tenths Still not my best lap I shouldve had it to make top 5 but didnt... thats racing     A positive takeaway from an effing tough go at it this year - netting only 2 x hotlaps is both my 1.31 laps combined optimally gave a 1.285 - now I know I'll never be perfect but with a 2.6 sec difference - that means its there it just comes down to consistency to bring that down into an achievable 1.29ish   Our best endeavors to have good seat time and a well sorted car illuded us this year but still got it done as best we could   Good mate made me take a pit pic in front of the car which I look at now and is good as you just dont know I might not be back, or I might !     And then after watching the wild Top 5 shoot out you get to pack up starting at 9pm so pack it all up properly for long trip home   We had a sleep and then yeop ... a near 4 day drive back to Perth. Look I dont actually mind the drive - its not great but its not horrible - but the toll it takes on you after or before competition isnt optimal and neither is the time it takes to do - maybe another option but they are few and expensive I tell you what im basically an international and would be ALOT easier to compete at WTAC if I lived anyway but W.A 😆   All in all hard work, solid result on paper but even if I was still 6th I would've like to at least be in the 1.30s and as close as I was and maybe due to circumstance it still says a 1.31 - which isnt sh*t just not the best .... the W.A crew that comes with me is awesome, im appreciative of getting to work with some of the best on top of that with Brad and some help from the pro drivers, Xtreme and others   So back home back to it - full set of MCA golds going in now which was on the cards anyway and a new 'proper' race radiator to keep it cooler   See what comes up next to race at or in ... that I dont know

      Acostal came through with a new bracket which should free up some adjustment arm and hit my target of -3.7° camber and 7° caster. (old black, New silver) fitted up and you can see how much shorter it makes the relative length of the caster rod as well as swinging it slightly to free up some misalignment in the bearing   with Caster maxed out short this is how the wheel sits on the car in the air While I was at it, I pulled the wheels off the car to inspect the suspension and noticed this lovely gash. A pity becasue these tyres, while on wear bars, would have had at least one more dry grip day in them. Have a set of AD09 to try out next which I expect will be slower than the CR-s or AR-1 were but better in the rain with a longer life?

      In case you haven't come across it, there's also https://nissan.epc-data.com/ Go by VIN or drill down into your specific model and year and it'll have references for pretty much all the OEM parts. In very similar diagrams. Linked against amayama as well for ordering. Though they can be a bit slow and can be better to search around to get the parts locally.
