like the subject says who can do this?

ive seen pleanty can do R32s but the R33 is a little different.

i know it can be done, ie Mines and i have heard a guy say he knows how to do em but won't tell me

i am looking for someone who actually provides a service not a freebie.

main thinks i am looking for is so you cna run more boost fuel timing front mount and get rid of speed cut

ok... They can be done but there is currently no-one in AUS doing it.

and the other thing is that it's not as simple as the R32 ones.

The R32 EPROM can be programmed and soldered on to the ECU.

then when you do mods, the same chip (which costs about $20 to purchase as a plain chip) can be RE-programmed.

The R33 ecu will require a different chip which costs about $90 to purchase as a plain chip, then programmed and soldered to the ecu.. that's all good until you do another mod because those chips are not RE-programmable.. you have to take it off, get a new chip, program that and solder it in.

So an R32 one costs you about $100 to get it chipped and then maybe $50 to get re-tuned as many times as you want, but the R33's you have to throw out..

I know of one guy who is currently working on doing these..

but it is still in DEVELOPMENT.. and will be more expensive than the R32 ones..

All you can do at the moment for the R33 is an S-AFC for fuel and some sort of speed cut device like a PIVOT speed meter..

Or power FC I guess..

I know two different people looking into it also !!

Maybe they should all get together?

But yes, there is also another method of chipping the R33 ECU, the way mine is done.

This is by using a daughter board the goes into the original chips place on in the ECU.

This then makes it just the same as an R32 ECU, with chips the can be wiped and re-porgrammed in a matter of mins. So the cost is no different to an R32 tune/chip.

But again, no-one is Oz can do it... yet.

or just cut wire 53..

Ash, i reckon you should be renting out your ECU for like research time for big $$ :) cause when somebody cracks the R33 ECU and works out how to do all the goodness of reprogramming, its gonna be BIG

well the japs know how to do it cos romeditor has the address files for remapping the ecus. the chip itself is a MPU which contains everything on it. silvias with MPU can be rechippped but they're easy cos they've got pads on the PCB to do it. skylines from what it sounds need a replacement for the MPU to perform the same functionality

Toshi can do the R33 chips.

He is advertising in the for sales section, do the R32 ones.

I've PM'd him and he confirmed that he can BUT as said before, they are a write once chip.

So if you change your mods you need to get a new chip, not just reprogram it.

Might be a good option if you are going to limit your mods.

hrrmm... so he cant do what i've got ie. the re-programmable set-up.

And do you know if he actually has a dyno or is a dyno operator?

... As getting the chip right first off i can't see happening even if you DO have a dyno and have been using one for years. You might get it 'reasonably' close but by no means as good as could be.

It would take a number of tries to get the tuning correct and in turn, that's mean multiple chips just on the one dyno tune seeing as though these are not the 're-writeable' style.

so in effect it would push the $$$ up substancially more ?? if you wanted a decent tune rathar than a once off laptop guess ??

Or is there a was via a real-time emulator ?

he can't do the 33 ECU yet Impul...

Dr_drift/BMT is where i get my car tuned via my ECU and he's been trying to get a daughterboard like mine from Japan or get it copied so it can be replicated. but as it stands at the moment he can't actually chip the R33 ECU itself.

(unless that's changed in the past week or two :))

R31Nismoid - Not sure on most of your questions. I dropped him an email a while ago and he said he could do the R33 GTS-t's. Nothing more was said and i didn't any further questions.

Anyone know if Dr_drift/BMT are able to tune/modify the R32 GTS-t ECU's to run the RB25DET's (eg r32 ecu in a r33) ??

we were gonna guinea pig a bit with my ecu for various things but then we found the chip  :/

lol

Cool - I bought a second hand R32 ECU for that exact reason - to be modded to suit a R33 gts-t.

I might have to see how he has progressed with it.

      Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?

      And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!

      And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.

      Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
