Hi all,

Im just looking at what ECU to use for my RB25/30. .

I was recommended an Adaptronic by MRC Performance in Castle Hill, however I am not sure what to go with. . (I wanted to get it tuned by MRC however I think Marc only tunes the adaptronic ECU's?)

Ive also been recommended a Haltech E11v2 (add about $800), what about a PFC though?

Looking to spend around the 1kish mark. (If I need to spend extra for a much better ECU, I am happy to do that for 'future proofing')

Hey mate,

Their are a few good ECUs out there, Haltech, Vipec, PFC, motec etc.. (in no particular order) If your tuner is recommending a Adaptronic, best to go with that. No point buying an ECU your tuner is not familiar with.

The Haltech E11v2 have been phased out and has been replaced with the Platinum series.

Cheers,

Johno

The Adaptronic is an awesome unit.

I've been running one now for quite a while (When my car runs that is)

Currently tuning the car myself, and it's quite easy to use.

Go with it, it has AWESOME support after purchase, and is constantly having new features put in it.

Currently has traction control, launch control, flat shift, etc etc etc, (boost control too)

The one I run has a RRP of $1000, and from memory the plug in loom + Map sensor was $290 RRP IIRC.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
