Hi guys,

OK, as a first step we need some firm (ish) numbers so we can try to convince Toshi to visit us in Brisbane to do some remaps.

If we can get a decent number then it might be worth his visit. We might have to pay a bit more for his airfares, but if we split it between us it would be good.

He has asked on his post how many people in Brisbane want a tune. So express here then we can let him know.

obviously I'm in.

Others who have expressed interest are:

PWND

toddlls (GC)

GTST (??)

I'm really not too sure if he does S14 ECU's (SR20DET), you can have a look at that link to the thread of Toshi (4 posts above - from PWND). Best to ask Toshi himself - his thread or via PM.

At the moment expressions of interest are required as we want to know how much work is up here for him. PWND is helping to look at this as well as we are both very keen judging from his work with cars in Sydney.

He can reflash the stock ECU and gets great results.

The price is cheap and costs only a little more than an SAFC with dyno tune with superior results. It has more flexibility and is more powerful than a SAFC tune.

R34 GTT owners he can also do (depeding on model of board I think?) so PM Toshi if interested.

Toshi SAU thread (as above)

Remember Brisbane prices will likely be more to cover travel expenses.

I am definitely interested, as long as the price is around $500 still and there is enough notice for me to sell off my safc/sitc combo

his work definitely sounds like the way to go especially since im driving an auto.

shame he is not local to do a retune after more mods though :thumbsup:

This will take at least a month or so to work out. I don't think it will be happening anytime sooner than that.

How do people feel about doing this on a weekday? ie. Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday.

To cover travel expenses (airfares/accom/car hire) we will need as many as possible. Obviously this also may not happen at all - but I am giving it a try to see.

Toshi feels that it is worth looking into but he did mention the costs and what people are willing to pay will need to match. So perhaps if you ask around?

His comments are:

He can do 2 fairly std cars a day. (He will need details of your car closer to the day)

He can do R32, R33, R34 GTS cars (NOT S14/15 as he does not have daughter board atm)

**** off-topic, how do I edit original post to make clearer? *******

I'll be getting it done, but I'm not paying extra to get him here to do it live.

My planned list of mods are the same as sidr20 in sydney who got a bees dick under 200rwkw.

All I will do is get those mods, then get Toshi to send me a pre-mapped ECU. plug it in on a dyno, all is good.

then send him my one as return.

it'll be around $350 from what he's told me.

I know how most people feel about buying "pre-tuned" tunes, but I don't really care.

If there is a problem, take it out, put in the stocker and get my money back.

IF he is willing to tune it while he is up here for the same price as postal service, then I'm in.

OK, I got a dyno run today and my Air/Fuels are very rich, so I'm going to PM those who expressed interest in the remaps.

I need to know exactly what type of car you have and what mods. If this doesn't work out I am going to get a remap via post like GTST, but I'd rather pay a little more and get it customised for my car live.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.

      @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html

      These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.

      The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.

      It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
