Hellow fellow liners,

Currently own an R32 GTS and looking to upgrade to a GT-R :P

The problem is its 15kw over my 125kw per tonne limit.

Ive been told i can remap the ecu so the output of power is less and ill fall under the limit.

Is this possible?

Any help/advice/abuse welcome.

Cheers.

the ban is based on factory power output and not current or dyno'd power.

while it is possible to own one, sit in the driver seat, rev it, spool up some boost, and be in awe of all of your friends it is certainly not legal to drive one on the roads.

not to mention its a f**king bad idea as far as safety is concerned

not to mention what you hit when you slide at 80km/h cos youve boosted it and the 4wd has snapped it back into line when you've lost traction, its only a matter of what do you hit, a tree, a wall? someone else's car? a child?

honestly mate i couldnt care less about what sort of driver you are or how good you think you are or arent. im sure victor bray was the same when he was on his p's too. the matter of fact and the purpose of this thread, was could you drive a skyline GTR on your plates, and the simple answer is no

legally you cannot.

U get a gtr now

then wat? there is nothen to sep up to

go a gtst manual then couple of years get the gtr

the time goes quick champ

spend your money on night clubs and pis ups first

and on arguement about p platers

i put this to u all

u are a good driver now ( we all throught we were)

u will only get better smarter faster

Thats so wrong. Here in canberra you can drive ANY CAR YOU WANT on your p's. My mate had a r32 GTR 3 years ago when they were hell expensive, and rare as fcuk! He was only 17 years of age, and he never had any problems with it? Again, its the attitude. Depends where you live too man, i suspect your in VIC because of the power/weight and then if thats the case, you cannot drive a GTR. Tough break really:P Move to canberra, how about thhat for an idea?

any other opinions?

Its not a matter of opinion.

If your concern over owning a GT-R is because its over the power to weight limit, then your issue is whether its legal.

And that's not a matter of opinion. The law is pretty f**king black or white.

You're fishing for an answer you'll like, rather than one that's accurate, if someone tells you where you stand legally and you start asking for other opinions. You might get an answer more to your liking, but it will be wrong.

It sounds like you're not mature enough to drive any sports car. Another opinion, since you asked, is that you should trade your car in and buy a Corolla.

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
