Does anyone have any info on replacement chips for stock ecu I saw on eBay. They market them as poformance chips and the cost about 40 with postage. Just sounds a bit dodgy to me. The company is called Emance custom car and ecu tuning. If they where ok was thinking of getting one till I get a new ecu or nisstune chip.

If you want a quick remap for more power, contact Toshi on this forum.

He can chip the stock ECU and tune it for a very reasonable price, with known GOOD results.

All motors in all cars will react differently to a harder tune, no off the shelf tune other than something as tame as stock will be safe to simply plug into your car without proper testing.

WTF! 3 different views on it all. To me if a new chip is just a new tune how the Fu"k do u tune a car without a car? I'll go with the 2nd post and just save for a ecu. Hard to find a good tuner with on the car on the dump, let alone just a chip.

aardi they are all saying the same thing mate. basically stay away from mail order chips or ecus. your car needs to be tuned in real time with the tuner in the car. all cars behave differently so a mail order tune is a waste of money and could potentially damage your car.

best bet is save for a nistune upgrade and tune of your factory ecu.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
