Just reset my ECU

[inark]

Thinking it wasnt such a good idea... as i disabled the battery... and the alarm went off (forgot to get the alarm key which is in my desk inside) this is at... well now 1am... so it would technically have been 1am when i did it an hour ago... damn daylight savings.

5 mins it was screaming its head off for... it took me ages to get back in the house as i went out the side door and accidentally locked it behind me... only house key i had on me was for the front door... which had a chain on it unknown to me so i had to run to the front door... find it was chained and then run back thru the gate which takes ages to open and in the side door which was locked! luckily everyone was awake by now and let me in lol

anyway... after i finally turned the volume off... i disconnected the battery and pumped the brakes for like a minute just to make sure it was fully drained, reconnected it and took off to the lovely 4 lane wide 1km long back streets that dingley has to offer for about 20minutes... giving it hell the whole time.

i dont know if im imagining things or if it has done something... but it seems to rocket a lot more than what it normally does.... it cant be the cold air cause i always drive it at this time of night as i finish work at 12am. maybe its in my head but if i give it a bit of a launching it seems a lot smoother than it did and seems to go a little harder.

i'll see what its like during the day tomorow.

next dyno day do a run, reset ecu have another run and see if it actually does anything!

[inark]

nah well im getting a new ECU of Doc this weekend anyway... i just wanted to see what it did by reseting it until i get the new improved one

would be interesting tho...

[Sideways]

I was told that Nissan only started using self learning computers from the R33 onwards...?

If so then the ECU reset thing won't do anything for a R32

Can anyone confirm this??

[Ait]

I'm not sure if it really did anything too. I had it reset, thanks to the assistance of the good Dr with the right tools. Doesn't seem to really make a difference. Does it self learn as we all believed? I'm more inclined to think that the newer 33s would have self learning computers.

Anyone can give some input on that?

[inark]

it all depends on how badly tuned ur car is in the first place... mine was nasty taking off was just sluggish to the max... 1st and second felt like taking off in 3rd and 4th but now it doesnt.... it takes off like it should. Its done something all right.

obviously if ur car isnt that bad in the first place it wont do anything and it will also depend on how long u drive it for.... u cant reset it and start driving it like a grandma for 5 mins... i gave mine a severe thrashing... 8 grand revs every gear til i hit the speed limiter down the Westall Ext at 1am/2am

[Ait]

Mine was given some serious caning by the Dr himself!

[inark]

lol but for how long... i was told that you need to cane it for at least 30mins to an hour.

[Ait]

For awhile I reckon. My expression after he caned it

:eek:

[inark]

[Ait]
