Throttle behaves however you want it to behave.

There is table in there that you can adjust so that any tiny bit of pedal means full throttle. Obviously you don't want that, but it's the example.

That being said, uprev provide some values in a little switch box, and seems the best option.

Make sure they also bring the thermos on sooner in the map, good for the motor and power.

Thread is useless without results!

Apologies for the late reply everyone. Car is now running sooo amazing.

Started of running around the 150rwkw (running really rich, and was fixed by a MAF clean) Base line was then achieved of 161.8rwkw. After this then tuned for 3rd and 4th gear (being 6MT) Dyno charts show the improvements. Overall the final chart showed gains of up to 50nm of torque (main aim) and 10-15rwkw) So after working it out I saw 10% power increase and 15% torque gain.

All I have done so far is a Takeda Short Ram intake, and a custom "catback" with a hotdog resonator through to twin outlets (with small mufflers). Soon to come will be pulleys, plenum spacer, ceramic coated headers new custom high flow cats and Y pipe and eventually some BC high lift cams.

Took it for a spin up Nebo and Glorious today, even in the mid 30's it pulled sooo much better and the throttle response has improved immensely. All in all. 10/10 for customer service through ECC and definitely worth every cent.

Vid of the run.

Thanks mate, im stoked. I got it as a discounted rate as I was informed that I was the first customer to use their UpRev software. I think they have a couple more spots left for a $500 rate, then it will go up to the normal rate which is 990 i think.

I bought an UpRev tuners package about a year ago and got a tuner to give it a go. Might try East Cos tCustoms to give it a retune, see if they can get better results. I get around 171KWs as an 5AT, but my modlist seems a little bit bigger than yours, although you are a 6MT.

That is impressive, i am loving the feedback ECC's customers are giving it makes me want to be in Brisbane even more now!

For $500, that's is excellent value for money considering how impressed you are of the results.

Good stuff!

I have fairly similar mods to your Sheldon and mine makes 184rwkw (on a very conservative Mainline dyno) with just an SAFCII. I would definitely get yours retuned.

Will look into it, just have to weigh up if its worth it since im still trying to sell.

Not wanting to steal the thread, but I am not 100% on that for all models;

Am 99% certain my manual coupe has an open diff and uses the brakes to prevent wheel spin/oversteer (even with traction control disabled)

Anyone got a good way to check?

Brake LSD?

The manual V35 uses a viscous unit Inside the diff, like the 350z.

Jack up the car with both back wheels off the ground, release the hand brake and ensure it is in neutral, turn one wheel, if the other wheel turns the same way, you have an LSD, if it turns the opposite way you have an open diff.

You can also just jack up one wheel, with the handbrake off, and in neutral, the one wheel off the ground will be difficult to turn, unlike an open diff, which doesn't offer much resistance.

    • 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
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option
