Does it have to have the aero kit?

it would be a alot better if it did... save me the hassle of finding one on IM or Yahoo

yeah aero kits are hard enough to find, with sunroofs will be even harder!

It seems that way...

Just asking because Northshore have a white RSfourV with sunroof, for sale... but no aero kit

I like the stock tv/sat nav tho... I'm just going to call them up and see what they can find in Japan... this will surely cost me more i think.....

Hello, Stephen Wanless san. How are you today?

Thank you for inquiry. We deal in JDM parts, but it is out of stock of the

used ECU although we were looking for it... We are sorry that it is unable

to

give a positive answer...

If we can do anything for you or you have any questions, please don't

hesitate to let us know.

We are looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely yours,

J's Garage Export Co., Ltd.

Argh!! :down: We've got to have some luck with this eventually!

shit man lol no luck anywhere

Maybe we can take the tools to the meet on Sunday and borrow someones lol

Would have to be the person last to leave, that would make it Jetwreck :whistling:

Hope his ECU is the same :down:

im thinking the ECUs are made by unisia not soley by hitachi. which is why mine doesnt have a sticker, its printed on. now, all the ones ive found on IM have stickers, being that they are the DD variety of engine. this is the first VQ engine with turbo (its a VQ30DET however) that doesnt have a sticker, its printed on the metal like mine!

http://www.importmonster.com.au/view?url=h...20VQ30DET%20CPU

i wonder were the DET models quite rare over there - compared to the amount of DE(DD) models. but as they all HAVE to be DET out here thats all we have seen..........

The alternative to an E-Manage Ultimate, an ECU remap may be in the pipeline!

Courtesy of Cam (iamhe77) we have located a suitable ECU for testing and development.

Once we have hold of this ECU I may need to call on people willing to go in and have their M35 4wd dyno tested and let the guys at Silverwater Automotive Service do their business.

It's going to cost roughly between $1200 - $1400 for the initial vehicle mapping but if you do further mods and require a retune the price is greatly reduced the second visit.

I would like to be the first one to do it but I've got to watch money at the moment as I'm out of work with a job in the pipeline that should have come through weeks ago. Hopefully I'll be back at work soon but until then I can't outlay that money. When I start working though the Stagea will be commuting about 150km a day so I'll be in a hurry for better fuel efficiency :D

If anyone else wants to be on the leading edge of this technology, let me know!! :D

I know quiet a few of you are interested in the outcome of the initial testing and development, so we'll need to make sure everything is posted up and all information in provided in a thread.

thanks for finding that Cam! i believe im the highest bidder lol

anyway, if this pans out to be workable and not a bad price, then ill move the emanage and get a remap. but if its too exy - and IMO 1200-1400 is too expensive - then ill stick to the emanage....

Way to go, thanks Iain :D

I agree that 1200-1400 is expensive but it depends on the outcomes IMO, if the tune via a remap can get better results than a piggyback I'm all for it, I just need to win the lottery :D

Also bare in mind that prices includes 4wd dyno runs etc etc to get the best tune for the vehicle being remapped, once they have done a test we'll have more of an indication of the price range and benefits etc.

I just came across this one on a gogglie search

http://translate.google.com.au/translate?h...l%3Den%26sa%3DG

This one has a slightly different number though, A56-R12 L31 2521, would be interesting to know what all the numbers mean :D

Taking that into consideration the important numbers are A56-R12 ?

The L31 2521 is the serial number? :P

Might explain why there is a bolder version of A56-R12 at the top of the printing on the left-hand side.

Nice work Cam!

I would get in on it but first I must find a Stag worthy enough of buying....

Someone got the ECU :)

They started jumping it up and took it from $39 to $104 AUD, someone (not sure if it was Iain) was competing with them via Import Monster but alas the other person got it :D

Oh well, the search for a test ECU resumes.

yeah it was me, total price went up to $271 so i stopped bidding, it was getting a little high mate............. sorry about that

That's ok, we had discussed a cut off point and it was only going to keep climbing, the other bidder was pretty keen for it.

No worries dude, keep eyes peeled for another one :D

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
