True, but you can search by ECU model number there can't you? So you can check?

I didn't read anything saying it was US only models, could be lucky and get JDM too???

Or am I seeing that glass as half full again?

just my 2c on this. I know there are a few of you that are electronically minded. who says you have to clone the chip directly? fire it up get it to spit out serial data and note that down. if if you are really intrigued and feel like memory mapping it then you can work out HOW/where it writes things to and write your own code for it.

the ONLY catch to this will be if nissan actually forgot to lock the thing. given that its nissan I would say the didn't and the hitachi's internal flash has been locked down. you will have buckleys of getting unlocked.

I know a certian russian fellow that worked with hitachi SH4s so he could probably tell you a thing or two about them - food for thought.

Electronics, yes. Programming? Noooooo. :P

I would say, seeing the Nismo uses the stock chip and the aftermarket programs seem to have a p1ggybacked board, that the chip is locked.

maybe its not locked. if andys one has epoxy all over the chip, that would be to stop people reading the map they have put in there, i mistakenly remembered it as a piggyback board. so its entirely possible its not locked. id go for it NOT being locked.

Thats my opinion also; Impul wouldnt be covering it in an epoxy if it wasnt possible to read off what they'd put on it

yes but in saying that ....the Impul does not have the Throttle restriction removed....it being a piggyback chip may be the reason it has not been removed!

we need to see pics before we can determine if its a piggyback chip

also they may not change the throttle restriction as their ignition mapping is more aggressive, or maybe they dont want to change it due to the weak ass gearboxes we all have and they dont want to be held responsible for any damage/reliability issues.

it may not be that they CANT change it, it might be that they WONT.

I posted up pics of my Impul ECU in the 'Impul ECU' thread on M35staga.info I think? But I'm 99.9% sure it didnt have any additional chips at all.

Hey Dunc.....you do know that I still thank you every time I put my foot down for the Nismo don't you!!thumbsup.gif

:wub: Im just glad I decided to be selfish and get the Impul for me and not offer it out to someone else :P

yup found it! hard to say if its got a chip on top. does it have the same model number as the factory one?

ill have to dig up the factory ECU pic i took and see if its the same inside.......

I'll have higher res photos at home - but from memory I posted the details that were stamped on the chip in the thread - and they were the same as my stock one. But I will double check them :)

both US websites. you do realise there is a US M35? its not even remotely the same as an JDM M35

Im more interested if it can be read or nissan cpu can be interfaced first.... If WRX and EVO stock ecu can be tune..... im sure nissan ones could be too

www.romraider.com

www.openecu.org

So if it can be interfaced, then thats a start.... as for me i just have had the stagea for less then 3 months so excuse me im new to what can and could be done.

He has not done any work on this ECU and does not really know anything more than us. He has specialized in other areas.

    • The values for HID colour are also defined ~ see https://www.legislation.gov.au/F2006L02732/latest/text  ~ goto section 3.9 onwards ....
    • So, if the headlights' cutoff behaviour (angles, heights, etc) are not as per 6.2.6.1.1 without automatic levelling, then you have to have to have automatic** levelling. Also, if the headlight does not have the required markings, then neither automatic nor manual adjusters are going to be acceptable. That's because the base headlight itself does not meet the minimum requirement (which is the marking). ** with the option of manual levelling, if the headlight otherwise meets the same requirements as for the automatic case AND can be set to the "base" alignment at the headlight itself. So that's an additional requirement for the manual case. So, provided that the marking is on the headlight and there is a local manual adjustment back to "base" on the headlight, then yes, you could argue that they are code compliant. But if you are missing any single one of these things, then they are not. And unlike certain other standards that I work with, there does not seem to be scope to prepare a "fitness for purpose" report. Well, I guess there actually is. You might engage an automotive engineer to write a report stating that the lights meet the performance requirements of the standard even if they are missing, for example, the markings.  
    • Vertical orientation   6.2.6.1.1. The initial downward inclination of the cut off of the dipped-beam to be set in the unladen vehicle state with one person in the driver's seat shall be specified within an accuracy of 0.1 per cent by the manufacturer and indicated in a clearly legible and indelible manner on each vehicle close to either headlamp or the manufacturer's plate by the symbol shown in Annex 7.   The value of this indicated downward inclination shall be defined in accordance with paragraph 6.2.6.1.2.   6.2.6.1.2. Depending on the mounting height in metres (h) of the lower edge of the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis of the dipped beam headlamp, measured on the unladen vehicles, the vertical inclination of the cut off of the dipped- beam shall, under all the static conditions of Annex 5, remain between the following limits and the initial aiming shall have the following values:   h < 0.8   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   0.8 < h < 1.0   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   Or, at the discretion of the manufacturer,   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The application for the vehicle type approval shall, in this case, contain information as to which of the two alternatives is to be used.   h > 1.0   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The above limits and the initial aiming values are summarized in the diagram below.   For category N3G (off-road) vehicles where the headlamps exceed a height of 1,200 mm, the limits for the vertical inclination of the cut-off shall be between: -1.5 per cent and -3.5 per cent.   The initial aim shall be set between: -2 per cent and -2.5 per cent.
