got my Nismo ECU today!
What is it? A replacement stand alone ecu like a pfc or a standard ecu with a daughterboard and tunable chip? Straight plug in or wire in? Sounds exciting!

Its a complete replacement, standalone ecu. Not tunable, its just a 'nismo knows best' sort of case. Should just plug straight in (Judging by the images Ive seen of it compared to the standard ecu.. its the same size/shape).

Won't it have to have a daughterboard or something in order for Nismo to tune it? There must be something along these lines or they've just put a sticker on it and it's the same tune we all have.

maybe the daughterboard.....but it not just re stickered .... have just taken the Haltech piggy back off and run it with both the standard ECU and Nismo ECU.....the are definitely different. Am going to get it run up on a dyno next week to show the differences with my set up......IMO I think the Nismo would be awesome with the standard turbo.....will find out later tonight how it goes with a standard turbo maybe.

That's what I thought, it has to have been modified in some way to tune it. What are your seat of the pants feelings regarding the differences? I guess it's hard to tell if there's more timing other than if it's pinging. Does having this help SAS at all? Surely they would already know how to put a daughterboard in and would know how to tune it? I can't see where the hold up is with this, can someone explain to me as I'm obviously missing something. Not having a go or anything I'm just curious where the difficuluty lies with this whole re-flash thing.

Seat of the pant's = more progressive midrange application with boost...instead of the peaky shit, light footed response better, shift better, 6,700rpm limit. Like I said before I am thinking this will be a better unit for the stock turbo...will let you know later on tonight how it goes.

SAS will get the tune and have promised me a tune ASAP on delivery....hold up is the delivery of the programming unit.

wound up the rear left about a cm due to scrapeage of rim + coilover <_< rims are too wide... they're already sitting flush, so don't want to use spacers... may have to sell them off and get something else a half inch narrower :)

+ front window tint :laugh:

Started fitting Series 2 R33 rotors and calipers to the Stagea today. from 16mm thick to 18mm thick and Sumitomo twin piston calipers replacing the 1 pot calipers. Used pads in it for now until I order some QFM this week. Finishing off the install and bleeding tomorrow.

Then next weekend fitting 297mm rotors and 4 piston Sumitomo calipers ... and ordering some QFM pads up front too. :)

All purchased (not inc QFM pads) for under $150 (and some labour). :D

My wife and I just bought a 2003 Mini Cooper S for her to use as a daily. That means the Stag is no longer a daily driver and I can do what I want to it. Hehehe :(

Oh, another positive... it turns out the Mini has a John Cooper Works kit which boosts power from 120 to 155kw :) Previous owner must have spent a lot of money on it. Kit includes exhaust, supercharger, cylinder head, air box, injectors and remap. Bonus for me. The down side is that I'm overseas and the wife picked it up yesterday, so I'll have to wait 2 weeks til I can drive it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
