Hi guys,

ITEM: Adaptronic E1280S ECU. I've been running this in my car, but unfortunately I need cash more than a car with an aftermarket ECU. I'll include the 3-bar MAP sensor this comes with too, I'll take photos of the wiring needed to hook this up. The connector that goes into the MAP sensor is a bit beat-up, but when it's plugged in it's solid. Pics to come when I get home from work.

Link to Adaptronic's page: http://adaptronic.com.au/products/e1280s.html <----- This has all the information needed about what this ECU can do.

I'm after $1100 ono for both ECU and MAP sensor. Bought new, this will set you back $2078.

Was running 202.1rwkw on my R33 GTS-T, 10psi using Apexi AVC-R, exhaust, FMIC, and Bosch 040 FP. Nothing special.

To give you an idea of what it looks like for now though:

As you can see, it has a direct R33 GTS-T plug-in for the ECU loom. I'm not sure what other Skylines use this loom (I guess a fair few?), but Adaptronic have loom plugs here: http://adaptronic.com.au/products.html?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_new.tpl&product_id=39&category_id=4

I'm located in Wollongong, NSW and work in Sydney, but can ship nationally. If sold for $1100 I'll throw in registered shipping (and email you a photo of it all packaged up ready to be sent at the post office), if less then I'll pay for some of the shipping (so it might cost you $10 shipping or something).

The ECU pictured there is the newer revision. As mine is the original revision, I'll update the firmware to the latest version, and include the software needed to tune this (and any emails/instructions I can find from Rob and Andy at Adaptronic with hints and instructions) on a flash drive. I HIGHLY recommend this is tuned and installed at the same time; it runs on my car, but as we all know, all cars are different, and can be quite picky about their tune. I believe Unigroup in NSW tune Adaptronics (although I could be wrong, feel free to correct me if I am), and I know MRC in Castle Hill do too.

I'm contactable via PM at the moment, not really able to answer the phone during work hours, and 4 hours of travel on a train each day with iffy reception makes my mobile a bit of a bad idea. If you're genuinely interested, PM me your number and I can call you, if you like.

Please, no lowballers. You're wasting your time, and mine. I'm negotiable, but not to a huge extent. I don't NEED this gone, would just help a lot.

Andy and Rob: If you come across this, please don't take any of this as a negative towards your product; far from it! It's been a fantastic ECU to drive with, I've just hit a rough patch and it's unfortunately towards the top of the list of things that can go without impacting on life too much :(

Good luck! I'm in the market for a ECU but i think i'll go the Nistune option.

On a side note: I'll tell you what we did to your car for the ECU? Haha.

Good luck with the sale! Cheap price!

Kory, send us a PM if you're looking for a cheaper optioned ECU then what Owen has posted.

And people's, the ECU owen has posted has some an awesome load of features, more user friendly then a PFC, and cheaper!

Pics to come when I get home from work.

Sigh, home too late today. Will do my best ASAP to show condition of plug.

Thanks for the kind words Matt! Hope someone can use this.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • 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).
