I found this on ebay

It kinda looks like just what i want, just want to get some advice about getting something like this?

Cheers Pat

Ebay may be a great website for buying cheap DVD's, furniture or other random items but I would be very careful when buying items like ECU's - there is no way you can tell if you are actually getting what youre paying for... Its a big risk when you consider that if it isnt what you paid for and you plug it into your engine it could cause catastrophic damage. :D

I would suggest buying a brand new plug and play ECU like a Power FC (if you can find one) if you want a new computer...

Just my two cents.

oh for f**ks sake . there is a reason why mines put an engraved plaque and mines stickers over the edges of it . they opened it so its worthless now .

people rag on about these ecus but i see nothing wrong with them . if you only have mild mods then a couple of hundred for one of these looks way better than 1800 for ecu and 800 for tuning (link g4 in NZ)

they are not worth much . my sisters bf bought one for his h22a prelude for 200NZ and it made it a whole lot better

that one is 4 times the price its worth and there no gaurantee it hasnt been tamered with

PM a guy on here called Toshi, he will tune your std ecu and make it suit your car he sends interstate if needed as he is located in sydney. He has done mine and plenty of others on this site and it was def worth it. PM me if you have any queries about it

cheers guys, i was very reluctant to start with. I want to go vipec or haltech, angelo (trojan) didn't think haltech did a r34 plug in tho. I'll just have to wait for many more funds to get one of these

I think I'd rather get a new tunable ECU for a bit extra, than to send the car away and have it tuned in concrete (like the MINES one)

I think I was looking at that one earlier and thought to myself it looked dodgy.

I'm with you Pat, I think it's better to get something aftermarket that you can easily get retuned later by any of the local workshops.

If you're only doing mild modifications, you'd be mad to go past nistune. Basically unlocks the ability to tune your factory ECU. It's also a lot more police/defect-friendly because they can't really detect you're running a tunable ECU.

R34power :

I saw your post in the spotted thread :cool: I'm not even looking at getting to half the power your getting to lol

Does anyone in canberra have any experience with a NIStune?

It sounds perfect for the level of mods that i want to do to my car, not going to go too crazy with it...

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road.

      That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...

      Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.

      Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
