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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
