I spoke with SAS today they said the end of the month they should be ready. They are remapping them in japan so it must be possible.

Yeah I tried contacting "MINES" in Japan for one of their VX-ROMS. . ..haven't heard from them in over 18 months of trying and e-mailing monthly. . They do one for the VQ25DET.

You can get them on the auctions.. but I would love to know how and what it is programmed for before spooning out $$$$ $1,200 to $1,500.

If only hey

The mines will work out way more than that. I did the conversion it was like $1800. Plus freight and taxes duties ect. Be careful with the ons on auction sites as a lot of them are exchange item. Found that out the hard way.

Mines, Nismo & Impul all do stand alone ECU's for vq25det.

I like the Nismo one personally, mainly due to the fact that SNOW is removed and an "economy" map is initiated when you flick the "snow" switch.... pretty cool I think... although I do believe that SAS were looking at the possibility of dual maps using a similar technique.

If you really want one of the Jap ECU's, the easiest way would be to contact RHDJapan and request that it gets listed. Part numbers and as much detail as possible make this easier AND you get a (small) discount for getting the item listed :)

VQ25DET ECU is able to remap but it is not able to real time remap tune.

Maybe a stupid question but if that is the case, how would they be able to be tuned to different car setups (for those of us who prefer not to use piggybacks)?

I either am selling my car or getting a tune and keeping it.. its costing way too much to run!!

What will a tune do for the woeful economy that they seem to get.. i need to get more than 450km's from a tank on this thing..

75L should be getting me over 600-650.

i do 50/50 highway/other.. never really am in traffic however..

A tune should get you way better economy......mines about 9.5 to 10 hwy and 13-16 around town......and you know the power numbers!

Well i drive till the light comes on.. and then drive another 50km's and then i generally get about 72-75L's in..

that usually lasts me about 450km's maybe pushing 500 if it hasnt been raining much.. (i like skidz. and 18x10 dont skid in the dry)

so if this factory tune computer option is finally coming i'd been keen as to get it. as i was going to sell it because i cant afford to run it now.. i figure the evo would be better on fuel with e85 conversion done to it.

SAS tune wont happen :(

That still seems fairly heavy on fuel; I'm not economy man either, but I'mmuch closer to 550km - 580km when leaning on it, and over 600km in girlypants mode...

I only ever get 600 when its a non stop 110 drive.. snow and back etc..

i've noticed after putting on that gtr bov perhaps economy is better.. but not 100% sure on that. tho i did install all the undertray stuff back on too.

wonder what else i can do to make the numbers better.

I find it quite amazing that M35 economy can vary so much. I've posted about this before, but I can get over 700km (~11L/100km) when driven pretty hard, but seem to get somewhat less when dawdling.

I think it's got something to do with where the engine is at it's most efficient throttle opening, ie mostly closed is less efficient than mostly open (but not WOT). Sort of why the ultra economy seekers do the burn & glide technique. So choosing the winding old road & having a bit of a go instead of using the new freeway could actually use less fuel as well as being a whole lot more fun.:rolleyes:

Now it's obvious given the right setup (Jetwreck's for example) that a good tune can turn these cars into reasonably frugal machines, for their size & weight & power output.

As to why some suffer exceptionally poor economy (other than due to issues with the common culpits like oxygen sensors etc) I've got no idea..

    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same. 
    • I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
