Will it go onto a GTST gearbox, Ben?... What's it like to drive?

If you get you bottom end back before I get my motor I am going to personally drive to your place and smack you in front of your friends. >.<

Just a heads up for anyone that doesn't know much about ECUs and what ECU to get... Please just trust my judgment and most other knowledgeable people in this thread / forum and buy a Vipec or Link G4 that suits your vehicle.

Microtech are by far the shittiest ECU I have ever seen. PowerFC is even 10x better.

f**k. And they still market this shit at $2k just for the ECU. Why aren't they out of business yet....?

Because they do exactly what they say they are going to do and they do it reliably. Don't get me wrong, I f**ken hate Microtech ECU's but they are built for an intended purpose. The LT10 and 12 were never designed to be a high end ECU so I'm not sure why the price tag but they have definitely been making cars go fast for more than a decade.

They are shit to tune, yes. They have hardly any features or outputs/inputs, yes. There are much better ECU's on the market for most street applications, yes.

Most Microtech street applications were born from small wallet syndrome so unfortunately they were applied to cars they shouldn't have been.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      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?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      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.
