High all, removed my left kick panel to install my new Power FC:D and found this. Looks like stock ECU but has a Mine's plate with serial no. on it. What does this mean?? Has it got a daughterboard or something in it? I know the stock ECU's are locked so what has been done? It will probably be up for sale in the near future once I know what it's worth

Score!!!

Would seriously consider putting it on a dyno (if you haven't already) to see what the AFR's are like. i.e. make sure the ecu that is installed, isn't leaning out the mix too much due to the better fuel it was prob tuned on. Either way, i'd sell it and have an ecu that more people in this country know how to tune.

I have had the car for over 2 years now, runs sweet as. I always thought something was strange because the rev limiter doesn't cut in until around 8,000rpm or higher, and when I accidentally set my bleed valve wrong and boost went off my 20psi gauge the boost cut never cut in. Also I have the car over 220, definitely no speed cut either!! When I go to get the Power FC dyno tuned, I will make sure I get a run on this ECU first.

thats like with my car!

i found this cool little plate with IMPUL racing written on it... it had clamps and looked like it belonged somewhere in the engine bay//

i was like... cool, theres some IMPUL work on my car!

but then i looked down at the pedals and realised that it clipped perfectly over the accelerator, prolly just taken off and put in the glovebox for compiance. not sure if its meant to be for that? but it fits nicely around it, so i now have an IMPUL pedal. anywayz... i got all excited for nothing...

It'll do nicely for a few basic mods - but if you need to do anything too extravegant you'll have to send it back to Japan for repogramming.

Its better than the stock ECU, probably saves you having to buy an S-AFC, but its not the worlds greatest thing way down south.

This topic has been covered previously. May get $600 for it.

It would run lean as the mines ecu is tuned for 100+ octane jap fuel. Even if you just plug in the pfc and drive around and give it a glogging the engine check light will come on as it the base igniton and fuel maps are set for the jap fuel.

yes it would cause slight detonation but unless u know what you are listening for you wouldnt know!

I also have a mines ECU in my R32 GTST...it has no speed limiter...i got the fuel all checked out and it was running lean...but only cos the old fuel pump was stuffed...put in a new fuel pump and she doesnt run lean anymore

i always thought the car ran rich. When I bought the car, it was totally stock engine-wise, but it did have set of platinum plugs in a 7 heat range. Had the head off recently and internally the motor is very healthy. Only ever run it on 96-98 octane fuel, no booster. So all I know is that it ran the car fine in stock trim, and runs it sweet as with a full exhaust, front mount and more boost.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
