  • 2 weeks later...

JPC? as if any cars that workshops do these days are engineered.

You have to contact Vic Roads for engineers etc.

Oh, BTW, if you've gone from a CA - to RB25... you'll need to ahve brakes and a number of other things done too as a thing to remember, the engineer will pick it right off

You can get your car engineered at Maztech in Thomastown for $600 if the motor you've put in hasn't been modified yet. For every modification it's an extra $60?! Just make sure the brakes have been upgraded, Computer is standard, Airpod is secure and doesn't move and make sure all the polution stuff is there. You also have to take your car to a weight bridge and they'll give you a print out of the wieght and get an EPA test, and then take the EPA and wieight certificate back to Maztech with all the other things done.. they'll check it - and send out a certificate in the mail. When you first take your car there they'll give it a pre-engineers check and that's about $65. I personally didn't end up getting my car engineered there cause I wasn't too happy with the service they provided.. twice my car was booked in and I left my car there for a full day and nothing was looked at. So decided never to take it back. I think if you ring most performace places you'll find they will do it - they just ring up engineers to come in and do it.

Hope this has helped.

SIR-JD, considering aftermarket ECU's are illegal, you have SFA chance of someone signing it off with the motec

yeh i am in the process of ripping the MoTeC out - all placeses i have rang so fare have quoted around the 500 mark to take it out and hook up the stock ECU.

dose anyone have any contacts in melb that could do better??

thanks, jonathan

in a GTR the motec still needs the stock ECU to run the attessa system. So as long as your motec is away from the stock ECU and hidden somewhere...say under the passenger seat, then you shouldnt have a problem.

I have also spoken to a motec installer and he said the Motec is the only aftermarket ECU that can be tuned and passed under EPA and ADR's.

i dont see the problem with having an aftermarket ECU providing the Emmissions can be read and that your car passes the emmissions test.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
