Hey Bill,

I'm curious as in how do you mount the Adaptronic ECU?

Is it mounted where the stock ecu resides in?

Hey Grant, yeah it lives in the same location as the factory ecu. I just had to move a couple of relays out of the way and drilled one hole to mount it where I wanted it. Plastic foot well cover fits over it and hides it nicely. I'll take a pic when I get a chance and put it up.

Hey Grant. Here's the pics. I used to have it the other way so the loom plugged in from the right but it didn't leave much room for the USB and wideband input, I ended up snapping the USB port off. Adaptronic was very helpful. This way gives plenty of room above for those inputs and it fits nice and neat, the cover also fits back on perfectly. I did also relocate 2 relays. Im not sure if the GTR is any different but I guess you're going to find out pretty soon. bf0b7a751511ce4c812c408582c7417e.jpg7af54f6f57fa41d2e78baf2b3d5ba078.jpge49da880cdb1f1daf82c1cd50492fbc4.jpg

Thanks again Bill.

I've sussed out another solution last night.

Take apart brackets from stock ECU and then I compared it to both Power FC I have and stock ECU with Adaptronic, width is the same and it mounts like stock ECU do.

The plan is to velcro strip to hold it together, see how I go.

Thanks again.

I shaved off the tabs and used the OEM brackets and drilled into it.. works a treat however the rear USB plug sits against the firewall padding.. but using a 90 degree USB plug work "ok".

I too snapped off my USB plug, but I managed to solder it back and then applied 1000000000x coats of super glue to it LOL

Super glue ftw. In my case I burnt an led while trying to solder the USB back on. Oops. The guys at adaptronic came to my rescue. Absolute legends.

oooots!

need Plazmaman cooler [emoji4]


That would be nice but its probably worth more than my car, lol. AWD would be nice too, that ain't gonna happen either. Can't afford any more mods, too busy pumping e85 in the fuel tank and helping United make massive ethanol profits[emoji3]

Probably could get a generic 76mm pro series core at a good price :)

Holla if you're ever interested.. also can get good prices on DBA rotors, Hel lines and especially Intima Pads!

Will deff keep you in mind[emoji106]

New tyres fitted this morning. Buy 3 get 1 free. Fresh 2016 production 265/35/18 AD08R. Thank you Mr Yokohama and Mr Bob Jane for the excellent pricing. Definitely an improvement over the Achilles 123S which weren't bad but just did not last.

Looks awesome! Do you drive this daily? 


Yep, driven just about every day and at every possible opportunity. I thought about putting a baby seat in the back so I could drive it even more but stopped short on that idea[emoji3] . lol
shit got real when you daily some AD08s lol


At $263 each fitted. I can afford to daily them. Got to try to get the power to the ground somehow. For that price, I'd choose ad08's every time. Sadly it is very rare, I think the guys at Bob Jane may have even f#*ked up with that price but I sure as hell wasn't going to question it. I couldn't say yes any quicker actually[emoji12]

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
