I was suggesting maybe one of thse godly workshops should get some tips and possibly the equipment to retune the factory ecu so they can be called EVO' gods. The factory ecu is more than capabile for all your needs and is relativly easy to tune.

I agree someone needs to get their hands on the equipment and start providing tuning for an evo that is not running a motec.

tell benno to get a 4wd dyno and I can hook him up with the gear to tune these cheater cars

This is already available via a few guys that do ECU reflashing. It is one option I am considering and am speaking to someone about it at the moment. >_<

After seeing to Evo 9's make around 220 awkw's with only air mods and tune and a monster Evo 8 make 323 awkws I would definitely be taking my Evo to RE Customs. I have never seen a car like that Evo make so much low down power and still make a huge total.

I think these guys would have to be one of the best tuning shops in Melb at the moment. Healthy tunes with big power.

Now if Ray could only make time to fit my car in :O

its his baby, ill let him do it

But fark me, its one of the faster street cars i've been in.

Just so well refined... 230awkw, its going to be a farken fast car.

Thanks mate - I'm very happy with how she goes now - especially considering it's still only running stock boost

(admittedly it's now holding "stock" boost to redline! :happy: Still, considering it's only a base tune - I'm happy! :( Alan went in it tonight - I'll let him post what the thinks about it! :laugh:

Rod - I guess my end target is to be in a position to start offering custom tunes for 7/8/9's, but I'm still a little way off that, and I still need to speak to a few dyno operators to figure out if they're willing to "rent" out their dyno.

Cheers,

matt

What can I say, very impressed with Matt's IX. Thanks for looking at the ECU on mine last night and all the explanations, learnt more in an hour than I have in a lifetime about ECU's, extremely interesting.

It pulls hard for an Evo (have only been in a few) but sounds extremely tough with the exhaust too!

The knock surprised me on the VII also. I dont think I will bother running it on 100 RON purely for the km's I do and accessing the servos that sell it so a better tune for 98 would be my chosen path.

Let me know how you go with opening that file and I will keep you posted about the AVCR/gauge. ;)

Sounds interesting Matt. :laugh: Let me know how you go. I'd be keen for something like this a little way down the track.

Not until the Wide Band o2 sensor I bought shows up! :laugh:

Sif getting maggotted isn't a good thing to do!

I say you road tune this weekend for something to do ;)

Then i can come, I need something more constructive to do other than get maggoted with you all weekend which no doubt will end up happening!

No worries mate - Glad you could understand me - I tend to waffle on a bit - but it's just because I'm really into this stuff! :laugh:

Just wait till the final tune is done - it'll be awesome! :laugh:

Yeah no dramas - I'll sort out your timing for you to get rid of that knock. You'll be glad to know that I've already read your rom and removed the speed limiter amongst other things! :wave: Next time we catch up I can tidy up your ignition map and confirm that it's all sorted.

Cheers,

matt

No worries - I'll be giving rides out up at deca! :P

Re: talking dribble - no worries - most people tune out when I start talking about the capabilities of the ecu! :)

Wear dark sunglasses so when you decide it's time to tune out you can just close your eyes for a while without appearing to be rude. :P

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
