hi i wasnt really sure where to post this but there are alot of topics on ecu's in here so i hope its ok.

i have an r34gtr and had a look at my ecu and found this:

was wondering if anyone could shed some more light on this eg. if its tuneable here and stuff like that.

thanks.

scott.

Its funny, you guys think they are worth nothing yet some people are paying big bucks to import them for newer VQ powered cars, mainly as there are no other options. These ecu's sell for 2k new so there must be a lot of r+d in them unfortunately the fuel is different and the map cant be changed over here. The minute a remap is released for my car, these will be worth nothing again as you say.

Probably because Nismo think it's the same as Euro stuff :down:

Sadly the software/part's doesnt cost anywhere near as much as the Bosch ECU gear (like in Audi/VW Gti's etc), so i cannot see how they are justifying a $1500 flash tune.

I can understand the Euro stuff given the software & codes/license costs big $$...

So doesnt neccesarily mean there is a lot of R&D within the tunes in my book.

yeah it would just be a remap of the std maps to suit fuel, boost up and speed cut removal most likely

its better than the std ECU by far but once you do other mods its time to retune anyway

so whilst your on stock turbos and a bit of a boost up its probably fine

there might be some more midrange / max power gains by a full standalone tune however

do a bit of research before you go flogging it scotty... i searched for about 2 mins and have seen a couple of people that said that map is 100 ron

the sticker on the ecu does say to use premium fuel only. it seems to be running fine on bp ultimate though, but ill try and take it a bit more easy until i go to my mechanics.

ok no probs, the boost restrictor was removed so it runs over 1 bar which other r34 gtr owners said is normal so thats good. maybe the previous owner got nismo turbo's installed as well lol.

doesnt make sense if you think about it

if you have a 34R with aftermarket turbos why would you sell it at the base model price

surely you would jack the price up higher referencing the aftermarket turbochagers etc

i got it in a jap auction with the help of iron chef imports. he knew i was looking for a r34 gtr and he sent me an email with this one that one of his guys got at auction over there and asked if i was interested. so of course i said yes. it probably doesnt have aftermarket turbo's but i can still wish lol.

Best bet is to go to your local nistune guy and suck the timing and fuelling settings out to analyse it, i have had some come in that are PERFECT ie i have charged for a dyno run only as they were so good it was a rort to charge for a tune.

Other times they are rich and advanced too much.

PS its not tunable, once off unfortunately.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
