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?

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
