Hi all, i'm still searching or the car but while i'm at it i thought i'd start planning the modification list for a 350gt

Seeing as the good ol' pfc route isnt an option can anyone recommend a good ecu to go with a 350gt. i've done a search and seen some mentions of flash tunes etc etc but i'm stuck in old habits from my gtst, so i'm looking for something a little more capable.

I was looking at the vipec for my gtst, has anyone tried one in combination with a 350gt, i know that it might be wasting some of the nifty features that the vipec offers but from all reports its the bees knees in all other aspects.

Any first hand knowledge/experience with AM 350 ecu's would be greatly appreciated.

they said your car need to be reprogrammed or otherwise the immobiliser will stop you from starting the car with the new ECU.

if your car don't come with the metal tag with the immobiliser code on it from Japan (e.g. the prev. owner lost it) then it's pretty much a dead end for you. cos the dealer here need that immobiliser code to be able to reprogram the car on the new ECU.

I believe the right answer to that is ..... YES

Not having that code is one of the reasons I suspect seeing some seller flocking off their brand new Impul ECU or anything for V35 on ebay prior to actually using them on their car... or they may have got the codes, but they can't find a dealer who is willing to reprogram their 'grey import' and thus flocking it off ebay hoping either some poor sod took the bait or someone else luckier with reprogramming thing catch the bargain...

I have an Autronic SM4 running standalone and the car still starts and runs fine, better then factory actually, the factory ecu is still there just to keep the BCM happy, bit tricky wiring it in and my car was the first to have the autronic, my tuner and autronic wrote the software using my car. Big thanks to Matty Spry at PITS!

I love the Autronic its an awesome ECU with plenty of options and extras, and ive used a few.

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
