Yes, Scotty has one, as does wagonboy theo. Problem is you need to find a harness made out of unobtainum, then find a hks tuner which will charge a mint, or find someone with the other ahem, skills to tune them.

Might pay to research a adaptronic...

As above, big dollars but mine is working very well. You will need to find someone competent willing to tune it, and you will most probably need to supply the software/dongle to them.

What specifically are you trying to get out of it? The Emanage Ultimate works very well to a point...

There is a test M35 driving about at the moment running an Adaptronic ecu, it has a few issues to sort out, but it is another option for the near future.

With local knowledge, and local support.

I reckon it'll be a winnah. But the test mule customer is bloody picky...

Hi Scotty,

I here someone in Sydney can tune them... Bds or something, can't remember exactly.

Anyway I plan on keeping this car for at least the next 5-6 years some want to pretty much do exhaust, fmi intake ect, boost controller, injectors, ecu, big brakes, basically everything besides internals.

My previous r34 had the works done to it. Everything besides internals and I loved the way it went and the power. 338 kws @ wheels. It was fun to drive. I want similar power but a "under the radar" car.

And to think I sold my harness! :(

Adaptronic setup is nearly there. Hopefully I'll have the final tune in the next week or so.

But....you may find that you will need to go back to a cable throttle. Anyway updates still to come.

Alex - picky? Bitch slap 4u...but you are right. I want my foot to match the power delivery!

The harness is no problem for me, I can get that sorted.

How?

I can bet BDS have never tuned one of these before, and with statements like the one I quoted, I fear you may think this will be an easy task...

If the Adaptronic will work, almost any aftermarket ecu will. But you slowly lose functionality the further down the road you travel, and the costs rise if no-one has been down that path before you, trust me, I know.

Scotty, all I mean buy that statement is I can get a harness if I need one. Not make one.

And yes I would rather go with a more common, readily available and easier to tune ecu. I don't want on going headaches.

I was speaking to a mate who's got a HKS F-con V-pro in his EVO.......... everyone he spoke to in Sydney wanted to rip it out but he found that "Tunehouse" (I think it was) would give it a go for $1200 just for a first tune ROFL

I've got the F-con in mine and I think its awesome but still could be better!!! might need to match it to a Nismo or Impul to get the last few restrictions out of it.

"tunehouse" that's the place I was thinking about.

But gee that's a lot for a tune. And knowing how much I tinker I will prob need my car tuned at least 2-3 times before I'm happy.

More info on adaptronic? Cost? When? Where?

Any new installation will require quite a few hours to set up properly. Touch up tunes should be a lot less.

Yea theres very little support outside of japan for the f-con i believe. And thats why the higher price.

Bigkevracer(ryan) is also tuned in f-con but has had never ending problems i think with throttle. But the rest of us is fine.

What restriction are there? Only encountered speed cut

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
