No, how would the computer get power ?

Ha said he can put the ECU into another R3 in the shop as it is easier that way or bench power the unit to install the file.

But if it is a RAM system and there is a battery in it ( I have not been able to find this info out) and the battery is stuffed how would it keep the tune until I get it back into my car, wish I knew more about computers :(

I guess I will find out, I sent the ECU off to Sydney. So I guess I will wait and see what happens when it comes back.

But for the hassle it causes even if it seems OK I will change it and I will go the Haltech Pro

What ECU was it, they might have a plug that will give it power that they can down load the tune, they just won't be able to check it

How did you lose the tune ?

Apexi ECU , they were going to use another car if they had a R34GTR there or power it up on the bench, so they must have something they can use?

I was coming home from Sydney after the new turbo, cam and new tune was done. had traveled about 300Kl, going great, like a new car, I was loving it, on a real twisty bit and having a bit of fun and the car cut out for a second or 2 and when the turbo kicked in it was shit, between 1500 and 3500revs before full boost it was fine, found a spot to pull over and the idle was rough and noisy and it conked out. Checked everything I could see and nothing seemed to be off or leaking, 45Kls from home, in the bush so I babied it home,the end :)

I will have the ECU back today, I will put it back in and see what happens.

Taking it back to Sydney next week for the Haltech Pro R34GTR, while I am there I will get a new exhaust system and fuel system and hopefully make it back home this time,haha

That sounds like an intake gasket blowing, I have had two Apexi PFCs one of which for 10 years and they don't just drop a tune like that that I have ever experinced or heard of

When I say check the tune, they would have to have a car with exactly the same mods setup exactly the same way so they can run it up on the dyno

What exhaust are you looking for, I have an bolton 80mm cat back blitz or apexi, can not remember ATM, I took of my 34 I'm selling cheap :D

Also have a chat to unigroup about their Blackbox or insight with his new EmTron, both of which I would consider better value for money

I am booked in for all of the work to be done.

I do not know about the gasket blowing, but when we went on Face Time with the FC hand commander the settings were back to original tune , the car was running VERY rich, rough and noisy at idle and we went through it, changed a few settings and got the car running OK and I changed the plugs, they were BLACK! I guess I could have just waited for the ECU to come back with the tune reloaded and just drive it hoping that it was a once off, BUT I have a lot of trouble getting to Sydney and will do all of this at once and get it over with.

If they used another R34 I would think they would just take the other ECU out, plug mine in and reload my Tune from their files , pull it out and replace the other ECU.

I have been after more torque down low as the car was a shit DD the way it was. As you can see from the Dyno last time Brown and the old Dyno Blue that it is getting much better :)and I expect a little better again this time.

I have the exhaust being custom made , I want it free flowing but not too loud, I am in a small town and once you get targeted, your stuffed :(

I have never heard of most things on SAU :)

BUT just installed the ECU and took it for a run, all good, well for now

He sent the hand unit back in case I have trouble on the way to Sydney, hope I do not have to unwrap it :)

      I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.

      Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
