linedup33 - Sam's prices (Dr Drift) totally depend on the ECU in question.

R33GOD doesn't know what he is quoting about unfortunately :woot:

Considering the fact the ECU already have a socket/board in it. Then prices are reduced yet again i would imagine.

But lets not speculate on what we don't know :thumbsup:

Chad - I would give Sam the thumbs up for stock ECU's. He's been at it since 2002 and my old car was one of the first he did way back when i used to deliver pizza to the bloke :sorcerer:

He did a couple more for me along the way after that (and about a dozen other friends), let alone diagnose a number of electrical problems some big workshops failed to do.

Give him a buzz, and workout a deal.

mmm my ecu has been socketed and tuned by dr.drift. im not happy with it and wanting to get a tuner who is very experienced with tuning the zeds...he is a specialist in tuning silvias, although he can do other cars. but im just not happy with the tune unfortunatly....

ive given created motorsport a call aparently the guy who tunes there said he was from new zealand and has done somewhat 200-300 zeds there, aparently being the only one who remapped ecu over there...im just waiting for a reply with some prices from him....

dr drift prices are cheap, and also makes me wonder why...after that i wasnt happy with the result...maybe i should give him a call and tell him how i feel....i just feel a bit rude to comment his expertise and kind of dropped it and just turned a frown to it...

for those that want to know his prices are

$100-150: socket ecu

$200-250: custom tune

$150: dyno time and hour.

I certainly hope that I'm more than approachable, and certainly happy to look into it for you Chad. Feel free to drop me an e-mail detailing your concerns...

Just a couple of Qs?

Was it fine after the tune and gradually got worse? Or was it just bad straight up? Just trying to figure out if it may just be a faulty sensor, or some other problem, or maybe it just needs more dyno time...

ohh whoops lol, i didnt know you on the forums lol....

i just feel a bit rude to comment his expertise and kind of dropped it and just turned a frown to it...

sam i just felt a bit rude to question what was done etc.....

i mean i let it go in my own hands because in the first instance u told that you specialise in silvias etc but can tune other nissans, and i agreed to taking the tune up on that basis....obviously the zeds are more complicated, and just a few things were over the place.....k value, timing....i will email you about what i have found to be a little out of place...

car has been running fine, there is nothing wrong with the tune in the operation about the car....everything is working sweet, no error codes etc...

email sent.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
