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

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
