Just got outbid on Mines ECU on YAJ only 5 minutes ago...Got me in the dying seconds.... >_<

Oh well.....

really?

i thought if you bid within the last 5 mins on YAJ it extended it another 5 mins?

Its possible the IM interface timing isnt spot on......

anyway, sucks that you missed out on it, would have been a nice toy!

Yes, but it is 10mins, not 5.

Well that's what has always happened to me :(

No ebay sniping on Yahoo Auctions

Finally did the "wire" mod today.

I shouldn't work on cars after night shift; everything seems to take twice as long...

Tired, eyes a bit blurry & cutting wires at the ECU. Yep, recipe for success, lol.

Lol, yeah, I might've checked everything a few (hundred) times before cutting; just to make sure.:thumbsup:

Car starts, and no fault lights.:banana: Going to wait 'till later for a test.

Mind started ticking away; had to go for a drive...:banana:

That's a surprisingly useful little mod!

Wired up a switch to reset if need be. Is it just a case of close circuit, tap brakes, fault gone?

Good work for doing the hard yards guys; riding your coat tails is a great thing.:thumbsup:

What was the "wire" mod again?

Ecu harness, Pink wire, blue trace; cut, insert momentary switch, have access to full throttle opening whenever you like.:thumbsup: Enjoy better low speed throttle response and no delay after brake application.

Every now & then, close circuit and tap brake to avoid ECU going into "Limp Mode"

Anyone else care to fill in any holes in my explanation?

And I edited your post for the (future)emanage people

once you notice something shifty going on afeter approx 100km, go for another emanage tune. much better than just resetting.

Is there any way to send a constant signal to the ecu on that wire so it thinks it's connected and won't need to be reset all the time?

Could you hook the brake pedal light switch to that ECU wire to give a signal everytime the brakes are used? I don't know what voltage it see's/needs, just thinking of ideas.

I don't use IM. I have a mate in Japan who was on it for me to 49,000Y (much cheaper for me this way - avoid IM's commission). I was trying to call him for the last half hour as i was watching the bidding get higher and higher to up the bid a bit, however couldn't get him on phone....I was stuck! You are right in that time is extended with YAJ - i just couldn't get a subsequent increase in bid on.....

I recently bought the ex Andy, then ex Aaron Impul ECU which i have here, and was only going to get this one to compare!

What were the specs that the comp runs with?

No idea?? That's why i was interested in comparing differences between this and the Impul...

Mine's generic tune (from memory)

RPM limit raised to 7100 or 7300 (can't remember which)

Boost raised to 1.1bar

Speed limiter removed

Throttle remap

Fuel/timing remap

Of course, the end user could specify whatever the hell they wanted (2bar boost and 7,500rom for instance) and all Mine's state is "yes, but please consider the risk"

Take your word for that info Cam. There wasn't a great deal of info on the listing. Is that info straight from mines?

You probably already know but I left the wiring diagram books with Aaron for you to collect and borrow.

i doubt it, if it detects connection while the brake is applied theres not point in having it.its best and easiest to have a momentary switch

i suggested a timer circuit, or something hooked up to the water temp. so it gets brake signal till the engine gets to 70degrees. before then you arent going to need to hammer it

but who would go through the trouble of that? lol if commsman doesnt, i dont think anyone will.

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
