I'm running Haltech :-) so +1 here too.

another great ecu to consider is the link/vipec. I was running one before the haltech and was really happy too (They make the speedo wave at you when you start the car too...just awesome.). Only changed to Haltech as the ecu was incorrectly blamed for a problem. the link G4 also allows you to keep the stock ECU case.

JEM LOVE Haltech :D So i got mine fully wired it as the GTT doesnt have a plug in option........ Spensive!!!

i just want my god dam car back...... have not seen it in 3 months let alone herd the soud of the RB and the veilside cannon, so depressing.

Whats the status of it??????

yep -

Optional - unplug and unbolt the ecu

There should be 4 philip head screws in the top of the case - undo them and take the lid off. You should be able to see the circut board

You wont need to pull the cables out as the ECU can stay in the car man..... That looks like it says Original Modified on the case in hand writing, which smells like a NISTUNE to me :D

yea fair enough, nice one.

do i need to remove the bracket the ecu is in? or does it pop/unbolt from that?

i do need to unbold the top to open it, so im going to have to remove it from the bracket yea?

The bracket should swing out of the way and you can get to the ECU or swing out out easy enough..... Just undo the screws, take the photo, post it and re-assemble mate :) As long as you dont mess with anything inside itll be sweet! No touchy touchy! (Keep that for J-Rad :P)

I cant remember if it was 2 or 3 bolts - I do remember it was pretty obvious what's holding in. Just undo all 3 and see if it comes loose.

i do remember the case itself should have 4 philips head screws holding the lid on.

As long as your gentle and you leave the harness and the ECU plugged in you cant hurt anything! Unless you go poking around inside the case which you wont :)

I remember thinking the quoted 6 weeks was pretty quick. Better they take there time and do it right though.

Mines been off the road since march if it makes you feel better lol

Mine is a daily atm, not going to buy a daily till i do the turbos and ECU and start going for 400KW at all 4, i have been told it should be ready 100% by next week. I have not had a car in close to 3 months and working in sydney and living on the coast sucks the wang when ur 6foot 4 and have to catch a farking train 5-6 days a week.

When u go to look at a GTR IMO u should get like 3-4 ppl to come along who own GTR's just so u look bad ass when u turn up with a convoy of GTR's tell the guy you need to make sure it passes the convoy inspection as its going to join it hahahah.

Mine was 2 years if its a comp :woot: lol...........

Tsk Tsk oh Anthony I need to teach you how to work on cars.

The key is have a go, if you remember where the screws go your fine.

Sometimes getting in and having a go = broken shift knob.

Mine was 2 years if its a comp :woot: lol...........

S15 has been off the road for 60 days... and nothing has been done :woot:

and all I want is some BPU's installed

THIS!!!! LMAO

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
