i do dyno tuning for a living, and i would say that any computer will make similar power, but its everywhere else that you do 95% of the driving, and i find the interpolation of the load points on the microtech to be somewhat poor.

Is that tuning in matrix mode or normal

Cause yeah they only have 16 bit tuning from what i remember

Tuning in the normal mode will give you really poor economy if you dont tune it correctly.You will need someone who has tunes with them all the time.If you tune in matrix mode it will give you more tuning points but still needs more.The new Microtech LT16 will be a great ecu and cheap.If you wish to wait for it.32 bit map tuning and downloading to the laptop.

The haltech,Wolf,Motec,Autronic etc ecus have 32 bit

which means you have more tuning points in your load maps.Problem with most of these ecus is setting them up and installing them.But 90 % of them now come PLUG N PLAY and have a base map to get you started.

Your tuners should have a problem with haltech so if i were you id head that way.HALTECH E11 PLUG N PLAY.Or wait for the new Microtech which shouldnt be to far away

as post befor

yes i have one a find it great had a few tuners look very funny at me when i told them i had one and said i should through it away.

i came across a workshop that had only ever dabled in them and they took the chalange to tune it and i have never looked back yes the link has a few little thing my tuner said he would like to get rid of but other then that im making good power and drivabilty is fine just got to get a good tune?

well thats my 2 cents if any more question pm RaceingLine he will be able to help you out.

but then again if i had a choice in ECU i would get somthing everyone can tune just to make it easyer to choose a workshop.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
