so had the 31 clubs dyno day today down at boostin oz in salisbury.

was an awesome day.

laurel performed well and pretty much on par with what i was expecting.

made 167.7rwkw on the first run and then 167.6 on the second. afr's are out to the shit house. rich/lean/rich/lean haha.

finally found an r32 ecu which i recieved today, so will be gettin nistuned this week then off to boostworx for a remap. hopefully can push up near 200.

will have some pics and vids up soon once they upload

yes as nick as stated all a31/c33 ecu's are poo for tunning/power , they basicly have a heart beat of lean AFR's which do them no good when its time to tune/ make more power, i even noticed nearly all hunting issues gone and a smoother run once i ran a r32 ecu in, credits to trent at checkered tunning for giving me the heads up :thumbsup:

note, pretty sure i stated the same thing in this very thread, fail! for not listening to my online gospel preaching :merli:

lol yeah you said not to bother tuning the laurel ecu.

and so i havent. just didnt realise there was a difference in tune from standard plus i was bein lazy :P

but it is good to know and will be in tomorrow night and nistune on thursday. then hopefully only a couple weeks till full remap :)

ok new ecu is in. havent driven it. apparently its out of a late model 32

part number is mec-r212

instantly seems better. started the car up and the idle is 100% better then with the laurel ecu.

nistune will be installed this week some time. and tune soon

i believe its actually an mec-r212b

on the case it has mec-r212 in one box and then next to it is a b and then in the next box 2703

according to matt (guy who made nistune) it will be fine.

i have just taken it for a decent drive. did about 60ks.

seems fine idle is great, revs smoothly. and fuel consumption seems better already.

tryin to upload pic of the ecu itself but phone is bein a moron

ok pics.

judging by the writing on it in the second pic its come from a wrecker at some point. so im assuming its the right thing...

either way accordin to matt even if its a non turbo computer for all intentions its exactly the same. once the turbo map is put on it itll be just like a stock 20det ecu.

so i decided that "a little elbow grease" was way to hard.

yesturday i bought a buff pad that is for a drill, bought my drill home from work this morning and went at one of the wheels with it along with some liquid autosol.

results are awesome.

this is after about 10mins. only done the spokes, 90% of the water marks are gone.

once i get the spokes out of the barrels ill go over it properly along with the rim.

id brought what i thought were the appropriate sized socket and spanner home... turns out volk uses 10mm bolt heads and 10mm nuts.

where as work uses 8mm bolt heads and 12mm nuts. haha

this hasnt actually discoloured as you can tell from the previous pic. im assuming its the reflection from my high vis orange work shirt haha.

here is an untouch wheel for reference.

anyone got any ideas on how to get the bolts all shiny again? i was thinkin just soak them in a light acid. they destroyed the buff pad i was usin. and cbf doin it by hand.

alternatively thinkin about paintin them black for some contrast?

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
