Im sure they could do it, I just don't know what it will cost as they will have to learn the ecu oddities. I have paid over 2k in tuning time I think, Cihan has it down pat now. lol.

Its worth the trip, I have heard there are 4 cars coming down from Sydney soon... Are you doing the install with the stock turbo?

Nice. There would have to be someone in Adelaide who can tune it. Ill have to talk to a couple of the tuners I know and see if they can do it.

You would think that there would be someone in Sydney as well would you! Don't make the same mistake I did and throw money at BS artist's tuners who may give you a good end figure but a shit tune.....make sure they know what they are talking about....most of them have not even seen a VQ25DET.

The road trip is worth it to make sure it's done right. How much HP are you looking for BTW? There's 4 Stagea's in OZ atm all pumping better figures and more drivable than any others...Cihan tuned em all!

Oh man, some good stuff in this topic, but not enough hard straight, 'this is how you do it'.

Has anyone in Adelaide talked to Mark Tilbrook, Martin Donnan or Morpowa about what can be done with these cars?

How can an R35 GTR be tuned and not these?

I'm pretty sure one of the Adelaide lads approached Mr Donnon regarding tuning; and the answer was the same as most of the other channels.

The issue in not actually being able to tune the ECU; it can and has been done.

The issue is building a worthwhile business case for someone to actually set up the hardware to do it.

My understanding is; that there are several series/versions (up to 12?) of the VQ25DET ECU; so even if you can read/program one version, you may not be able to the next version.

So, if you own a car with the version that can be tuned; great; but if you don't; tough shit.

The number of potential customers isn't large enough to justify the expense of developing the reader/programmer.

TL/DR; Buy an E-manage or an F-con V Pro.

    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together
