I just bought an eeprom programmer off ebay that can be ussed for rechipping ecus for nissan and other general eproms. I think it can be ussed to burn chips to get the police channel plus others on standard cb's? The only problem I am having is understanding the instructions for downloading the programs to run the thing. Can anybody help me as I have very little IT knowledge.

Over time I have collected several maps off the net and have also downloaded a few off my cars. I have the dr drift map for 32's and also mines, blitz and a few others for gtr's. I am not sure yet if I can use my data display to download maps from CA18's yet but I know it works on R32 gtr's and gtsts. I just thought if I get this up and running it might save some of the club member who are on a budget like me some money over buying power fc's that don't retard your timing or adjust fuel mixture if your engine begins to knock (so I have been told). Even if you just need a speed limit removed there is a program called rom editor which everybody seems to use for rechipping that makes the process easy.

I don't really see how a $2 chip is worth $300 with a dyno run if the chip isn't modified after the post installation dyno run.

I am not a cowboy thats going to go out selling chips. I have just wanted to have a go at tuning my own car for a while. Its been something that intrests me and if another person changes afm's or needs a speed limit removed they can easily have one burnt. I mainly need at the moment so I can run Z32 afm's on my smashed gtr since I sold the standard afm's. The car only needs to have the colour on the outside now.

Once I know the programmer works I will go out and buy a data logging wide band 02 kit from a place in the ACT. Sydneykid has bought and tested one of their units and seemed impressed.

Any help would be much appriciated! If you have a chipped ecu or any maps let me know if you want to share them with me. Expecially if you are running bigger injectors or n1 turbo on a rb26 with a good tune.

mate im an electronics engineer, and i can tell you now, if youv never done any electronics before, this is a hell of a way to start off! this is extremly dangerous in that re flashing an ic with the wrong info can and probably will make it useless. JUST A WARNING

This is being investigated by my lawyer regarding intellectual copywrite

I suggest no-one copies anything from someone else and re-sells/gives to someone else

doing so will result in an unfortunate instant ban as we cant have SAU involves with legal implications

cheers

      Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.

      The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.

      Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
