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.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
