at the end of the day I would keep the power FC in the car before changing to the ecu you have got. flog it off to someone else and move on.

save up for something more worth while, look into one of those haltech sprint 500 wire in ecu's which are going cheap and work great, I have put them through their paces and they perform great in wasted and group fire on 6 cyl engines running 600 700+ hp.

How the hell can you get away with writing shit like that on public forum about a ECU like Haltech?

Their old 90's tech ecu's might have been crap, sure but they worked and performed well with the competition at the time.

How is it haltech's fault that you are too cheap to buy a up to date ecu to run your late model engines? then go and ask them for help with something they probably know has issues and cannot and will not fix because there is a whole new range of ecu's available designed to fix the previous issues?

The new haltech's are great, sure I am biased towards the Vipec and will use one before a Haltech any day of the week but when i do use the haltechs they do the job very well.

Give the guys a break, there are plenty of worse ecu's out there if your going to give them slack at least make it about something worth while with their latest products at least then they will make a effort to fix it ??

sorry for the rant but Haltech have come a real long way, Just like when the Vipec / G4 came to Link... Every company moves forwards to bigger and better things.

Everything I have written is fact. From direct experience with multiple units. This is not a once off problem we have had to deal with

Their old 90's tech ecu's might have been crap, sure but they worked and performed well with the competition at the time.

Yes this may be the case but like EVERY ecu, they can and do have issues. It's the fact that Haltech choose to ignore them and the customers that have purchased their units that drives these types of conversations

We bought the ECU and 6 months later they released the platinum range. When we told them of the issue and all the other issues they had they told us they no longer supported that model and to buy a platinum

Yes you are right, I should give them a break. Their new units are apparently much better, they have fixed all of the issues we know of that existed in their old units. I hope they move forward as well as every other manufacturer out there because at the end of the day they are all striving to give us better technology. BUT, if they continue to palm off their customers when support is called for instead of telling them 'speak to a dealer' (when the dealers know stuff all about them as well) and when proof of a problem is provided, just tell people 'sorry, we no longer support that model' (which was being sold as the current model only 1-2 months prior), then they will continue to get a bad rap.

So I will be giving them a break......so they can think about how they are going to send me another ECU due to the fact they destroyed a working unit on us and handed it back. My answer will be: 'Express post will be just fine :)'

Ok blokes a quick update. I have got the thing tuned pretty well. I haven't put a huge amount of time into it but for the 4 or so hours that I have tuned on the road I am pretty happy. It is trickier to tune by far than a power fc but it does work. It is just a lot more complicated and has to be set up right in all areas.

In my opinion the power fc is so good due to how easy it is to use and the fact that it works well in the correct applications.

I got it to control the idle after a bunch of reading and adjusting. I tried out the anti lag the other day. Apart from scaring the crap out of the cats and the missus it seemed to do its thing. I got 14 psi at 3000rpm and 24psi at 4000rpm. Roto idle works.

I haven't even looked at the accel enrichment yet. It isn't a huge issue at the moment but I will take a look at it eventually.

The car really hauls arse. It is somewhat difficult to tune wot on the road due to speed, wheel spin and noise. I still need to get it on the dyno to neaten up the high rpm/high load stuff but all in all it is sorted.

After selling the power fc, datalogit and z32 afm this ecu only cost me $200. A worthwhile upgrade at the time. I might try out a different ecu down the track if I do run into the issues that others have had. So far all is good.

Back from the dead.

Can anyone help with the trigger and ignition setup for a RB25?

Just want to make sure I'm in the ballpark.

Mainly need help with the tooth offset and the Nissan home window settings

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
