http://uprev.com/UpdateFiles/software/Osiris%20User%20Guide.pdf page 9 explains the unmarrying.

To return an ECU to stock you simply need to use the latest version of Osiris and flash the ROM

named “XXXXX Back To Stock.OsirisROM” where XXXXX is your ECU part number.

After the flash has completed, Osiris will automatically transfer your license off of your ECU and

put it back on your cable so it will be ready to flash your ECU later, or be transferred to another

vehicle

the thing is, it makes easier for Sheldon to swap exhaust/spacer to a Brissie/GC buyer by organising a visit to a workshop....saves time in packaging....

Haha i was gonna try out bid you for the exhaust but felt a bit dirty seeing as you got in first :unsure:

Seems like money talks, so maybe you should chuck a price in!

Badluck Sean, that stings, i know you've been after one of these for a while.

Maybe you should start having a chat to some reputable exhaust shops? I am confident there are talented enough fabricators right here in Australia who could put together an excellent system for a competitive price. It might not have the brand name, but at least you can design it exactly how you want. I know I'd change a few things about the design of mine if I could!

GLW sale of your car Sheldon, i know it's inconvenient but the only time i've ever come close to breaking even on a car is when i've stripped the parts and returned to stock. I wish I knew more about the value of the work you'd put into yours when I was in the market - it would have been a great buy at the current price. Kinda worries me that the market is so soft......looks like i'll be in for the long haul with mine!

Yeah, thats the problem Mat. People who are buying V35's (or cars in general) don't completely understand what my car (or any car) contains when it has aftermarket mods. I only got the best parts for it and researched it like crazy. To them its just an aftermarket exhaust and they don't really put value onto it.

I think I might have found a buyer for my car now that its semi stripped, so here's hoping for the best.

If I didn't have mine, I would be after yours. Has alot of the work done that I wanted done. Problem with selling a modified car is that you immediately alienate potential buyers who think that a modified car is owned by a hoon who limiter bashes it everywhere. On top of that, there are those people (like me) who prefer building it themselves. So that kills your potential market straight away. But it is a beautiful specimen of a V.

If i was buying a lightly modified car i wouldn't be too worried, and just by speaking to the seller you can generally tell what sort of person they are then you could guestimate how well they treat their property and obviously by looking at it in the flesh.

Yeah Mat, i emailed Coz this morning just to get a rough idea what it'd cost me on a brand new setup same as what Sheldon has. I've asked him to look after me, since i've spent close to 5k with him in the last 6 months so we'll see how that goes. If i can't justify it, i'll go a bit cheaper and probably grab a ARK grip exhaust or Invidia i quite like the sound of both of them. If i didn't plan on selling my car in 12 months once i'm off these silly p plates i would put more money into it. But, it's pointless.

I love my V! Don't get me wrong. I'll buy another V one day and do the same thing to it. My SGV35 plates are currently sitting on my wall next to a 1m canvas print of my car, haha. Looking forward to breaking them out again and using them on my next V :)

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.

      The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned.

      Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?

      I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
