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.

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
