Hey my mechanic says he knows a bloke who can tune GTRs and Stageas without any piggy back.

He's cracked the factory ECU's and can access everything.

I haven't met him yet but it's pretty exciting, maybe won't have to drop 1K on a daughter board and install.

I wouldn't mind knowing how much more you can get out of the VQ25DET with factory afm, turbo and injectors.

Not interested in E85, considering going for the Hypergear G1.

Will post updates as I get along.

I bet he is talking about c34 stageas. As mentioning gtr and m35 in one sentence would make no sense as the ecus are not even slightly similar.

But great news if he has, but until i see it i am very very skeptical

No, he started on the R35 and has also done M35.

Played around on the circuit boards and analysed how they work.

Curious to know what software he uses.

Next question is pm35 or nm35. PM can be hacked using uprev software.

Not trying to shut down what has been said. But we have heard this so many times before and nothing ever comes of it.

The issue with the nm35 is that the ecu is nothing like any other nissan ecu.

Hopefully he is right though and another tuning option might be available.

Where is your mechanic located?

If he's telling the truth, he's about to get quite busy.

Is it Toshi? He mentioned basic reprogramming a few years back if there was enough interest.

I have heard of many attempts to hack the stock ecu, but I am yet to see anyone locally unlock it, I can't even get a decent uncorrupted copy of the stock rom, with that theoretically a hex programmer could work out the maps and perhaps adjust certain aspects of the tune. I'm just not holding my breath for a decent solution any time soon, even if he has managed to communicate with the processor.

My bet would be "a guy" is Toshi.

We were discussing him bringing over the software from Japan that would allow rewriting of the stock ECU in much the same way as UpRev can for the PM35's.

Cost was far too prohibitive at the time though. so perhaps there is another option that has been presented... or he has the software now due to requests from some deep-pocketed R35 owners?

Even though I don't own the 2.5t, I would still very much like to see a remap option become available and the results of a "real" tune.

So much history, so much Stagea love :wub:

If you need a stock ECU, let me know as I have one in bubble wrap here.

    • Hi Apex and welcome! 
    • Probably too late to reply to this, but worth a try. It's not calliper flex, the calliper as a whole is moving so it has to be calliper mounting bracket flex.  Calliper mounting brackets are designed to stop the calliper rotating, they don't need to be designed heavy duty to stop the calliper moving in and out.  Whatever it is is not the major cause of poor pedal feel, the outer pistons are moving towards the disc rotor the same amount as the inner pistons are moving away from the disc rotor.  Hence no change in fluid usage, what extra fluid is needed to move the outer pistons is recovered from the inner pistons. For a calliper to move as a whole by far the most common reason is the rotor is not perfectly centred in the calliper.  The first thing I check is that hub face is perfectly clean, bare metal, where the rotor hats contacts it.  Then I check the that rotor is firmly held in place by at least 3 wheel nuts (or equivalent). If all of the above are confirmed to be in perfect alignment then I would check the piston sizes and ensure that the 3 inner pistons and 3 outer pistons have matching diameters (eg; 28/32/36mm).  I have seen a no name 4 spot calliper that had 1 of the 4 pistons a different diameter. Maybe I missed it, are both the callipers exhibiting the same problem? I would remove the transfer pipe and inspect it to make sure that there are no restrictions. Maybe you already have but if not I would return them with the video and have them confirm all of the above.   Hope that helps Cheers Gary    
    • If you have the original log book and it didn't have a chassis number quoted, then no money required.  I have "rechassied" a number of race cars, no problem as long as you have the original log book.   Cheers Gary
    • Well the good news is that it won't run any worse with an atmo bov than it does with no bov, I've owned a few Nissans over the years (r32, s15 and now r33), the stalling issue caused by a bov or no bov while still having an afm is easy enough to live with, most people get used to driving them and just feathering the throttle when you come to a stop to avoid it stalling. Changing to a proper ecu with a map sensor is ideal but in the short term I'd just slap in the bov if you really want the whoosh sound. I looked into the pass through type maf like the R35 one above but decided against it as the amount of oil and crap flowing through the hot side would mean you'd have to clean it often to keep it working.
