that sensor looks like an air temp sensor so im guessing that there is an aftermarket ECU inside the standard ecu housing. probably something like a link g4 or a vipec.

check if there is a USB cable coming out of the ECU.

If I didn't know the type of mangment system in a car I just bought... the first thing I would do is throw it on the rollers to check out the tune...

Make shure it's not running some "fully hecktic sick... timing"

J.

lol yeh thats a valid point.

Ooh I don't know about that, a bargain is a bargain.............maybe thats what he had??

Anyway whats all the fuss about, a sub $1500 ECU, how many people here purchased their car to find some no brand aftermarket jap rechip or some such. I can't see any real difference TBH.

Exactly right Security, as long as the price is right and the total package is good to go.........it only matters what you do with it after you got it that counts. So a check over and tune and and maybe a plan for what the car needs and what mods your looking at doing are the main points, not what happened before you got it. And if its no good then you wouldn't have purchased it in the first place hopefully.

yeah thanks anyhow i actually dont know the last owner as it was a trade in at my families car yard he upgraded to a newer car...the car drives perfect and has been well looked after according to all the recipts in the glove box i have only had it for a week and have not had enough time to investigate every thing with work taking most of my time.... i guess only thing left to do would be to un do the stard computer and have a look in behind it.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
