Hi Guys,

I've split payments to Matt into two. The first one covers everyone in bold below. You have from Monday until early December to send your ECU's to Matt.

**** NOTE! I NEED EVERYONE WHO HASN'T DONE SO ALREADY, TO SEND ME THEIR RETURN ADDRESS, PART NUMBER OF THEIR ECU, CAR MAKE AND CAR MODEL!!! ****

We also need one more sale on software to make the five! If you have a friend of a friend who wants software, or you're teetering on the edge of a decision, this is a $55 saving over the regular price on the software alone!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interested Parties:

- RBPOWA-(TJ) - Option 1 - $314.20 - Payment Received.

- JRM - Option 1 - $314.20 - Payment Received.

- Hibino - Option 1 - $314.20 - Payment Received.

- lesseragitant - Option 1 - $314.20 - Payment Received.

- pyro-ns - Option 1 and 3 - $479.20 - Payment Received.

- QWK32 - Option 1 and 3 - $479.20 - Payment Received.

- darrinspencer - Option 1 - $314.20 - Payment Received.

- stenve - Option 2 - $258.10 - Payment Received.

- Mr GTS4 - Option 2 and 3 - $423.10 - Payment Received.

- DSTROY - Opiton 1 - $314.20 - Awaiting Payment.

- Stagea_Neo - Option 1 and 3 - $479.20 - Awaiting Payment.

- canarygsr - UNKNOWN - $UNKNOWN - Awaiting Payment. Send me a pm if I don't beat you to it ;)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The second payment will be sent once the last payment is received (or if someone is taking too long they will be dropped). So you'll have from a few days after the date that the payment is sent, until early December to send your ecu.

Matt would like to have these in and out before Christmas.

The address to send your ECU to is:

Matt Brown

Nistune Developments

PO Box 38

ELIZABETH SA 5112

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send your ECU to Matt by registered post, or some form of post with insurance! Australia Post is renown for it's crappy system and loses things all of the time! The last thing you want is to have your ECU lost in transit with your car off the road for who knows how long, while you find another one! Of course, this group buy doesn't cover postage to Matt, that is entirely up to you!

Again guys, I NEED you to PM me with your return address, the part number on your ECU and your car's make and model. I'm compiling these into a list so that Matt knows who's getting what and who's ecu belongs to who.

Cheers guys and thanks for supporting the group buy :dry:

Josh

P.s I am still in the process of replying to some PM's. Bare with me :P

I've had my old r31 ecu out before and it was straight forward.

Position and mounting look much the same, bit of a tight squeeze but nothing major.

I want the software, so i can monitor live via a 7" lcd in the dash.

Also have about 3 mechanics friends I can pick from to tune, probably at the cost

of decent bottle of scotch and a drive of the Stag:)

awesome, now all i gotta do is get the ECU out somehow :S

fairly simple guys ?

Pete, Check with your workshop if they haven't already got it.

just a suggestion josh, when you are collecting everyones ecu part numbers, collect the serial number as well. most people will share the same ecu PN (there may be some differences in year models and R34/Stagea).

example of an ecu P/N for S2 auto Stagea (mine): 23740 0V812

example of an ecu S/N for S2 auto Stagea (mine): A56-K41 L14 9802

the first part of the S/N will be the same for most of us, from what i understand thats the type of chip in the ecu. its the last 4 digits that i believe are unique to the ecu, in my case 9802. with all this info should be easy to tell who owns what ecu.

TJ, ecu is easy to remove, pull up the passenger side door sil plastic cover, its held on by clips that need a bit of force to pull up. then remove the rubber door seal near the passenger kick panel. the ecu is behind there, there is one plastic nut right up in the foot well, and some clips holding it on at the front of the panel. there are two bolts that hold the ecu back to the car frame and just the plug on the top of the ecu.

edit: pic added of ecu p/n s/n sticker

Just a thought.

In regard to what Josh (QWK32) said, maybe even put an avery label/sticker on the ecu with your name/forum name and contact details to make it easier for Matt at Nistune to track if he's going to be sent all these ecu's at the same time.

just a question regarding the Nistune software, what happens if we dont end up getting 5 or more people in on the software buy, are we still going to be getting the software supplied at the group buy pricing?

we've now made the 5 software sales :(

thank god :)

i'm currently inundated with pm's guys, so bare with me for replies :P

that'd make a bit of sense hey :devil:

If everyone could pm me their serial numbers as well, that'd be great :thanks:

Still replying to pm's :P this would have been done yesterday if it wasn't for the stupid spam control. a captcha code would be better than this shit...

sent my ecu off this morning.

Josh, whats the deal with the software license, do we download it from the nistune site and activate it with a code? if so when do we get the code?

Update time guys:

We've lost a few more, but we've still made our totals though, so everything's cool in that department.

I'm still compiling the word document for Matt for the first payment. Just waiting to hear back from a couple of people.

I need the email addresses of the following people:

- MR GTS4

- QWK32

- Stagea_Neo

- canarygsr

I also need a return address, car make and model, plus ECU serial number and part number from the following people:

- msports180

- SABBi

- stagman

I'm slowly sending out PM's buys, but it's a painstaking process, lol.

sent my ecu off this morning.

Josh, whats the deal with the software license, do we download it from the nistune site and activate it with a code? if so when do we get the code?

activation emails will go out once the group buy order has been processed

ahhh shit, so now i guess i need email addresses as well? haha.

i'll chuck my car in the workshop to get the gearbox looked at, then pull it off the road for a few days and send it away. should be in Matt's hands next week sometime

ECU's Sent To NIStune

- QWK32 - 19/10

- hibino - 21/10

Second payment was sent this morning guys, so msports180, Stagea_Neo, canarygsr, stagman and SABBAi, give it a couple of days to clear, then you've got between then and early December to have your ECU's sent to Matt.

I need the email addresses of the following people:

- canarygsr

I also need a return address, car make and model, plus ECU serial number and part number from the following people:

- msports180

- SABBi

- darrinspencer

got my ecu back from nistune this morning. plugged it it an fired it up, car started ran ok but the engine check light was on. plugged in my consult cable and read the error codes, it came up with

Code 21: Ignition Signal

Code 26: Boost Pressure Sensor

Code 34: Knock Sensor

Code 43: Throttle Position Sensor

i reset the errors, started and stopped the car a few times and everything was still ok, engine check light didn't light up. i'm guessing its just a one off side effect of getting the chip installed.

now just waiting for my software activation code :)

i'd like to send out a big thanks to Matt at Nistune for giving us a good deal on this group buy, and a really fast turn around time on the installation. and also a big thanks to Josh (pyro-ns) for organising the group buy.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
