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.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
