By any chance you didn't lend it to Steve from AEM, when they were doing tests on your car and playing with the Wolf V5.

Just a thought.

Yeah I thought that this morning also. Sure enough I called them and yeah they did have it.....to bad it was butchered to make a loom adapter. Anyhoo they are going to buy me a new stock ECU.

On a separate note I asked them about the development for the 34 and looks like it's been dropped with no return to the project in sight at the moment. Marc isn't working at the office on Melrich Drive anymore so I'm not really sure what's going on. I know they had some big Subaru fly-by-wire project on. Meh.

That sucks!!

Any talk of re-embursment? After all they did have your car for an extended period.

I would chase them for an ecu, even if it is a R33 one, then you can sell it. I know someone that will be happy to buy it, at a reasonable price :(. They did promise you a ecu, just because plans have been altered, doesn't mean it is your problem.

I know they have a major headache, at the moment, as the manufacturer for the hand controller, they based the Wolf V5 round, has gone bust and shut down production.

Do you have another ecu to pass epa? Is Pete's the same?

Good luck with the EPA Adz, Nissans are way rich stock!

I could do with my stock ECU also as my modded one is still FOOBARed, but GAFFA has obviously found something better to do with it ..... other than return it to me...... grrrr.

Let us know how the test goes.

I miss my skyline, it is but a dirt collector now... ass end on stands.... discarded in favour of a 4.0l VQ 6 speed V40 Navara.

Yeah I'll be speaking to them when I go down, I had a contract written up. I'll push them for a 33 V500.

I'm gonna borrow Pete's yeah. Lucky huh!

Well let me know, i will be very interested :)

If they give you a ecu, make sure they also supply the adaptor loom.

Yeah just a "random inspection".

Al - I dug out the contract last night and I've filled my end of the deal regardless whether they finish the 34 ECU or not so I'm going to ask for the R33 model and loom. According to the contract I'm entitled to a "V500 Product" so I'll let you know as soon as I speak with them.

Danny - Cheers mate

Matt - Thanks, got Pete's.

Chinny - PM me your e-mail mate :D

Hey Adz, just out of Curiousity, where and when did you get pulled over?.. I was told about 5 weeks ago by a "friendly" coppa that I would be making an apperance at the EPA.. Still have not recieved a letter from them???. whats the deal?

did the Cop like me so much he let me go??.. or he couldnt be bothered filling out paperwork??.. bit confused, but kida happy.

Age - Gold mate :P

Gazzilla - I was pulled over on Burwood Hwy. This happened just before I went away so it took about 3 weeks for the EPA notice. If he issued you a fine check the notice, towards the bottom on the left you'll see an offense code and next to that it says "EPA" if they are going to report you. If it was OUR lovely coppa then yes, you will get one I'd say.

Nah had all kinds of drama with Pete's cat. In the end I could not get it on, borrowed another from Scott that night and the flanges were different so I had to rebook again!! Anyhoo, the tyres have been replaced and I have a roadworthy now so I'll get the canary cleared and I can drive it again. Just have to go to the EPA on the 10th now :D

    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
