Until the ECU cover is opened... like they did to my car :)

Then regardless of the 100 other things, your gonna get pinned

No traffic cop is gonna sus you out for a chipped ecu.

If your being sent to the EPA for testing....I assume you would return most things back to stock - including the ECU. If its been chipped buy a stock ECU for 30 bucks I see them all the time. If your really worried buy a backup ECU when u do the upgrade. PFC users should keep their stock ones for this purpose.

Thats my point.

^^ I have been there many times and asked the guys if it was ok before it was done, then when I told them it was done they barely even blinked. Mind you everything else on the car was fine whenever they checked it. Also I have only seen two guys there?

so why weren't they worried about it with stolen_s15's car? ;)

No idea, who knows what they discussed as its totally inaccurate.

Ask the EPA and you'll get the answer if you dont believe me :laugh:

Although, FYI... it'll be exactly what i said

oh, don't doubt at all that what you say is the truth. I know a chipped ECU is illegal, just wondering if there's some leniency they're showing now, in regards to chipped ECU's or something like that.

Once i've got all the performance bits i want on the car, i'm going for a Dr.Drift ecu remap, i know it's illegal but meh... my exhaust is very quiet, otherwise i have nothing really to be picked up for EPA.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By steven7270 · Posted

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Rusty roof repair

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
