well if u want to go in the GB i can do a full refund (paypal refunds fees also), might take 3-5 days to go back on CC, and u can get it later in group buy (probably start next month i imagine), or i can continue with it as normal and send it out by monday

Hey all, just thought id add my bit;

I bought an Ecutalk cable of ebay for$60 and bought an adapter cable (also of ebay) to convert it to usb for $5, the converter cable was 1,5 meters long so when connected, the laptop can sit comfortably on the passenger seat. For me it was cheaper and I got a longer length than buying the Usb version cable.

if u buy a serial ecutalk cable on ebay, before u pay send a message, say u want a usb/serial and one can be sent for extra $5 added to invoice. its the 'a111 usb serial' as mentioned in item description, 3foot long roughly.

the only issue with usb/serial converters is some of them dont work reliably (and FTDI based ones, which is the chip used in the usb cable, are expensive).

is impul a daughterboard (still using stock ecu)?

as you paid with echeque itll take a few days to clear

-Overview-

- Better air fuel ratios

- Ups the boost a little

- Takes out speed cut

- Increases rev limit to 9000rpm

- Tweaked fuel maps so you can run more boost safely

- Plugs straight in, no other modifications required

Just read this.

Impul is just rechipped Nissan ECU even with Nissan part number for the tune...

Read out the image using EPROM programmer or consult and then that can be modified. As mentioned above either Dr Drift or a tuner with Nistune can do this for you... and use that as a base tune to work from

Those chips are soldered in so you will still need to get ECU resocketed

yep, assuming the consult code is still intact (in theory its possible to modify a rom to stop consult working, e.g. to protect someone from downloading your rom). fortunately i havent heard of any daughterboards/remaps etc losing consult capabilities (if anything only rom reading support, but even then most commerical tunes i dont remember hearing they disabled rom read).

so should be all good

I reckon I might get a V2 display & permanently mount it in the car.

:P

***edit***

Just bought one...

I picked up my new display unit from the post office today, plugged it in to the RSFV, configured the engine parameters for the trip meter and hey presto, I can now see how much fuel I'm burning :)

And as an aside, it shows all the ECU data just fine :)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
