Why not just drive it with the standard ecu and swap it when it gets retuned

yeah i was planning on that just i meant for example on the day im going to get it tuned ill put the ecu in my car and drive to the place to dyno it and get it tuned

why not just let them swap it in?

well if they dont charge extra i will. Only thing troubling me about buyin this ecu the guy doesnt know if its the dr drift type remap where you can keep over righting the tune with a new one or the toshi type where to get it retunned it needs a new chip in it. is there anyway to find out

mate !! best bet would be to call dr. Drift to find out.. I'd think there should be a connector/port to connect the ecu to the laptop if it's a re-tunreble/ dr.drift type ecu where as a Toshi type is identical to stock ecu (non-retunerble)

Sams (dr.drift) ecu's are just the stock ecu modified, he plugs his laptop into the data port under the dash.

The only way to tell what it is, is to get the guy to take some pics of the inside of the ecu and send them along to Sam, he will be able to tell you if its good or not.

Hope this helps

    • And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.
    • Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....

    • Nah, lots of insurance repairs on V36 and V37 for pedestrians deployments. Reasons ranging from possums, to extremely severe potholes have deployed them. However, paying for the full repair can still be upto $5k AU some people have noted!
    • Hi, i got 1998 r34 4 door auto abs model and its manual converted with bigbox when i bought it . I successfully find the neutral and reverse light wire but can’t find the speed signal wires for speedo drive. I know its grey plug but on my loom no grey plug with 2 wires . I opened the loom upto where it getting branch with other wire, i’m amazed they is no wire. So need help how to fix the speedometer problem. I search on google it says some r34 model measure speed from diff sensor. Is it right? I talk to a wrecker he say no this isn’t right, i’m kinda stuck. Please help
