i bought some glue today and went to attach it and found out that some of it must have falen off on the road where the "ahem" incident happened :blink: . So there wasnt enough left to attach it.

What *ahem* incident might that be?

Please tell me you didn't have a bingle?!

And I'm not talking a Lara either, we'd all like one of those!! :laugh:

I think we should just refer to it as "the " incident and speak of it no more :) .

I'm crediting some of the blame on lack of sleep (new Baby arrived day after Stagea). Now I'm so pissed at myself I can't even walk up to the car without becoming pissed (at myself). Hence the almost desparate desire to replace the front bumper with an aero kit! Oh and the stupid air vent thing which is half with me and half on a friggin road somewhere.

I am trying to get hold of an M35 ECU (VQ25DET) for a test remap to be done on it.

If anyone know's of a wrecker's anywhere in Australia that has an M35 on it's inventory please let me know.

The mines VX-ROM looks good and is about A$2k and is tuned to 100 RON fuel. . . I wonder if 98 would be good enough. . . but $2k is a lot of money. . probably get better mods for that. .

I have asked a mate to see how hard it is to get a stock ECU when he flys through Japan. .

That is a damn shame (so do you still have that deep sick feeling in your gut?).

Simple solution though!

Buy the ARC intercooler! Bolts on using existing pipes but does not use the air deflector, is much thicker and is a Q.U.A.L.I.T.Y. unit.

Teren,

Can supply a brand new engine control computer part number 23710-AQ800 ex Japan for $2850.

Many Thanks,

Andrew

fail.....

Whoa! Who was that through. FTG Nissan can bring in a brand new one for $2369.55 inc GST (which I still find quite expensive)

you know i actually did think of that since they're quite well priced. We're on the same wave length.

well we only need one ecu for test right? this is just to go to silverwater for them to work out a solution??

It's for testing and development, he doesn't want to risk frying one that belongs to someone's vehicle.

So that is why he is after a spare ECU so he can play.

I actually popped into SAS today and said hello to Tom, top bloke.

Just came across the second one too..

i think i will get im to email them

will we be able to get few guys to throw in for it?

Judging from the sticker on the 2nd ECU, it's a VQ25DE not a VQ25DET :thumbsup:

From what we have seen so far the VQ25DET ECU's are printed on not stickers.

Looks like I may have tracked down an Australian Wrecker with an M35 Half-cut!

Even better they look like they are willing to sell the ECU on it's own, but I'm not getting too excited as they think it's a VQ25DE engine. I wouldn't think they would import a half-cut of that variety as the VQ25DET is the only model allowed via import?!

Hopefully I will find out tomorrow and then I can get excited.

I've also requested that this wreckers send me some pics of the half-cut so I can post them up on the forum incase you guys are after any of the bits and pieces left on it.

It's had a pretty major front on so I think the front will be dead but maybe some engine parts/dash etc will be good. Will post up piccies when they send them to me.

I've had another nibble, I'm not holding my breath but hopefully he will come back to me with some good prices after he has had a check around!

Hello Stephen, Pls let me know by reply if you still need the ECU you requested to prestige Motorsport. I am in Japan now + can let you know price and availability early next week. Thank You Ken

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
