Hey all,

This is a pretty big ask, so I'm not expecting a huge response, but I'm desperate now. I've had my car at Allstar for 3 weeks now, was supposed to be for just a simple tune but has turned into quite an effort. Andy from Hyperdrive is working on the car while Sean is off on leave.

Basically the car is giving quite a few problems which Sean and Andy both believe to be a corrupt ECU, eg. revving itself to redline as soon as it starts without opening the throttle body at all, dropping cylinders randomly, etc. etc. Now the boys at Allstar have been checking basic things such as injectors going to correct plugs on the ECU, coils, etc. but nothing has had any effect yet.

So we are now at a stage where there isn't really a lot we can do without testing another ECU. My back-up plan is to purchase a Link G4 ecu, but there's no point spending 2 grand on an ECU if it isn't going to fix the problem. So I really just need a NIStuned RB25DET Neo ECU for a manual that Andy could plug in, test it out, and then give it back to you. If it does turn out to be the ECU then I will buy the Link G4, so I'm not looking to purchase another stock ECU. I just really need one to borrow for maybe a few hours.

Anyone? :(

Thanks,

Martin.

Didn't see this yesterday.

Thanks a lot for the offer mate, I appreciate it. I ended up buying the Link ECU anyway though, decided I would be better off changing ECU now than putting more money into an ECU I want to get rid of anyway.

Thanks again though :)

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
