I thought to reset the stock ecu, dissconnect battery, pump the brakes to discharge any capacitors still holding charge through the brake lights, reconnect battery.

But I still fail to see what that actually accomplishes, I mean it doesnt store any data, does it?

It must store something? Otherwise it wouldn't do things. It must have a memory or something. How does it know wether u need to be lean or rich? It gets a signal and acts on it. It must have some data stored or able to store.

I read somewhere that modern cars have more computing power than the first lunar lander. True?

There are plenty of IT guys on the forum who could shed some light on this very vexing question.

There was a post not long ago about how to whatsie a new key. There must be SOME intelligence in the ECU to do that?

Can someone explain, please?

It stores a fuel map, but if that was lost everytime the ecu lost power then you wouldnt be able to drive it once you got your first dead battery, it would need constant EEPROM flashing....

I meant that it does not store any volatile info, meaning that it does not keep info in memory that is cleared when power is dissconnected to it, and there is nothing you can "program" into it, to change anything you have to whack a chip into it, so what is the point of "clearing" the ecu when really it actually does nothing?

Not that it matters to me as I have a PFC, but would be good to get an answer on it I guess, might do some searching tonight as this has been discussed before on SAu so there has to be an answer for this somewhere :)

dont you guys let other people drive your cars?

i dont really care, i mean, i wont let a dickhead drive it but ive let mates take it into the hills with me there ;)

It's not that I don't let anyone drive it, but that I'm usually in the car as well when it is being driven by someone else - and that someone else is a person I trust implicitly!

The clutch is a ceramic button clutch, so it's heavy and very bitey - it's either in or out. My old man doesn't want to drive it because he has a bad left knee, and my sister is kinda scared to drive it because there's no play in the clutch and thinks it's a "big car" (even though she fairly regularly drives an EL Falcon wagon for work).

The other people I would let drive it, I just haven't had a chance to meet up with them for a drive yet.

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.

      roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
