Group Buy - R32 Ecu Remap - Re Customs


Recommended Posts

I have been speaking to RE Customs and have negotiated a dedicated day specifically for remapping R32 skyline ECU's.

The following will be offered in a package for R32 owners

1. ECU removal and modification performed to allow remapping.

This involves taking out your cars computer and soldering in a socket. this means you can have either your stock map fitted or the remap. it also means if you need your car retuned at a later date the new tune can be popped in the socket in 5 min.

2. Full Custom Dynotune.

The car will be put on the dyno and first a power run will be conducted to check your power and AFR's. this base run will help to detrmine exactly what is happing with your current state of tune.

The Car's ECU will then be plugged into tuning equipment that allows the fuel, timing and various maps to be changed. thus making the standard ECU perform the same function as a power FC or other aftermarket computer. the car will then be tuned for optimal safe power and the best AFR's obtainable. if you wish the rev limit and speed limits can be changed.

Once the tune has been completed a final dyno run will be conducted and you will get a before and after dyno graph showing you how much of an increase you have actually got.

The whole process will take over an hour and we need 8 cars to make it happen.

Ray has been nice enough to allow it to be done on a Saturday so any interested parties can attend.

the benifits will be a more powerful car with a standard looking computer.

any upgrades eg: turbo, injectors, AFM, fuelpump FMIC ect your car has, you will benifit from a remap.

The cost per car will be $300 if we can get 8 people. it will be a full day event and a good change to meet others.

normal price for the service would be $455 so its a huge saving and probably the cheapest tuning package available. As a bit of a bonus to SAU, $10 per car tuned will be donated to the site to keep our community going.

Where: RE Customs - Springvale VIC

When: To be announced depending on peoples availability

Group Buy end time: 12th November. earlier if we get 8 cars before then.

contact: me via PM or here below.

Thanks!

Hi Kyle, this is a service I have negotiated in conjunction with Ray, and may be done on a semi regular basis depending on demand but only in a group format that is organised like this through SAU.

cheers!

Wow this seems like a really good opportunity for members and SAU as a website.

I can see you have good intentions but I fail to see how anybody could possibly do a proper tune in ~45minutes when bigger injectors and turbos are involved.

Hi Matt,

To try and keep costs down there will be an operator driving the car on the dyno and myself tuning the car. This reduces the time it takes to tune a car usually by almost half. because the tuned can concentrate and watch with great detail what is going on.

because the tune can be done in realtime once the baselines are done you can do the tune very quickly if the modifications are farily basic. (rb25 turbo on rb20) ect. If you have put a gt35, Z32 and GTR injectors they you you are right it will take possibly triple that.

as stated earlier it will take over an hour per car.

cheers!

Im in for this. Hopefully we can get 8 cars, been wanting to get a remap for a while and now that i got some extra money i was planning to do it soon. Got the minor mods (rb25 turbo,fmic,pod,std inj) so this will probably be a good option for me, either this or get it remapped at status tune which im thinking about doing as well

CEF11E tuned the old rb20 in my bmw taking it from ~130rwkw to 170rwkw running basic mods and stock turbo.. obviously very noticeable gains..!

Have moved onto rb26 now, but definately would recommend this service to anyone chasing power from their 20..

  • 3 weeks later...
  • 2 weeks later...
due to lack of interest the group buy has been closed. thanks all!

How about starting or extending it to R33 GTST RB25det's? I feel that there are a few of us around who would definately be interested in this group buy then.....

    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
    • Oh and some up-and-comings; New rear drivers wheel bearing. I'll do that this weekend while the diff is out. The car is already up and the d/c axles and missing exhaust will help with space. This is the last bearing for me to do and I've been dragging my feet on it. I also have some new EBC blue stuff pads for the car and some new brake fluid. I haven't ever flushed the fluid in this car and looking forward to it. I have 600 degree fluid to put in. Not exactly "race fluid" but better than the typical stuff I have been using.
    • A proper clutch/plate type mechanical diff with quite a lot of pre-load and high locking % is better for drifting. Much more consistent in its behaviour. A helical can be annoyingly vague and inconsistent in how it responds under the sorts of abuse found in drifting.
    • Some updates here. I pulled the entire interior out, minus some trim to respray the seats with Colourlock dye. It turned out really nice though I accidentally let the dog in the car after and she scratched up the front seat.  This is what it looked like before, the colour was just washing out everywhere but thankfully the leather was in good nic. Then after the respray   And after the bloody dog jumped in The headliner is out waiting to be retrimmed, but it will stay out now until Nov - see why below. I replaced the stereo/headunit with a period-styled Android headunit. I have no after pics, but I'll get some. This is because of the missing pixels. I tried to fix this twice with replacement ribbon cables but couldn't. Also the bluetooth interface I'd bought for this was crap. Then there's the rusty roof. Pics and info in this other thread. I have decided to get this repaired professionally, but I'll update that thread. This is why the headliner will stay out for now. I'll be getting the roof and bonnet resprayed at the same time the rust is fixed. I also had an interesting issue with my drivers door lock.  For a small period I was having issues getting any 12v power to the car - I mean *any*. It would have no dash lights, nothing. It happened while I was at the shops and I couldn't get in the car. So, we had 2 problems. The most pressing here is that I was locked out. I have only a single physical key hole on the car, the drivers door and no amount of turning would unlock the car. Surely it doesn't need power for this? The second issue is why am I losing all power periodically, The battery isn't dead, its almost like the battery isn't even there. Two issues that were surprisingly easy to fix. You fellow BMW over-engineering lovers will appreciate this. The lock in the door has 5 states; mechanical lock, electric lock, neutral, electric unlock, mechanical unlock achieved at -90 degrees, -45 degrees, 0 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees. Although, the unlock is towards the front of the car, so opposite for LHD countries. Sticking the key in and turning 45 left or right is what is used 99% of the time. It activates the central locking etc. 90 degrees is for dead battery access and, obvs, only un/locks the one door. But because the mechanical lock is never used and is 27 years old, it seizes up. I was totally unable to turn the key far enough to get to the mechanical unlock (At the time of locking myself out, I didn't even know this was a thing). I eventually did it with some vicegrips and teflon spray.  I made a quick vid for other E39 peeps.   The battery issue is totally new to me also - It wasn't making sufficient contact between the post and the terminal. The terminal was bolted on tight, but the car wouldn't have power. After checking the battery with my multimeter I accidentally contacted the terminal and the battery post and the car got power. The battery was only a few years old and in good condition. I cleaned the post and the terminal with a wire brush, bolted it back on tight and never had the issue again. I'm still surprised that despite having solid contact it didn't work. Also, the car was getting Warragamba sized pools of water in the back when it rained. My initial concern was another rust problem. But when I went out on Weds while it was raining and while I had no headliner in I could see a steady stream of water coming through the roof mounted aerial. As this aerial is for the (now removed) car phone I pulled it out and whacked a blanking grommet in the hole. It seems fine now. I'm thinking I might get the hole permanently filled when the rust is fixed. Moving forward and things in progress; The tailgate needs some attention. I have taken all the trim off to clean it all and address some small rust spots. I have partially done all of this but I'll finish it up hopefully this weekend. As all the trim are now entirely devoid of trim clips I have bought a heap of strong velcro and I'm hoping it does a good enough job as any of this trim in good condition is super expensive and usually in Europe as we dont have many of the wagons here. Suspension and brakes!!! This is exciting. In the front; New control arms New sway bar links New lower Eibach springs (the only modification I'm planning on this car) M Sport shocks (these came with the car and will replace the longer shocks in the car) New top mounts Used 540i calipers (stock brakes suck!) New 540i disks and pads (22x296 mm for 528 and 30x334 mm for 540i) New front wheel bearings (thank all that is holy for bolt on bearings!) Annnnd in the back; New control arms New sway bar links Adjustable air suspension arms (fool the car into what the current height is so the self levelling suspension can match the new front ride height) New ball joints I'll also be doing a brake fluid flush while I'm in there. I'm planning on switching the car over to the 16's that came with it so I can clean up and respray the M Sport 17's. They've lost a lot of colour over the years and have some gutter rash. None of this will start until the E90 is back.
