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.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
