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]

    • Hi. This is just my curiosity because iam sure the tuner figure something out...but either way i want to ask. The "problem" is that the Nistune ECU (Stagea FW and RB25DET NEO from Stagea) sees many times the speed than the speedo does(he says the speedo show 120 km/h - correct speed and the ECU shows like 510km/h ) I told him that this car/tranny getting speed from rear diff. If iam not mistaken the RB25DET NEO "need" to see tranny speed sensor? (my tranny has the plug for it). So couple of "question" If he connects/wire the speed sensor to the tranny...are the signals gonna intervene and if...what if he disconnects the rear diff one and the speedo stops working? Or the "new" sensor from the tranny "take over" and will not going need the one from diff? As i said i know he figure/get that done...iam just curious to know what are the solutions 🙂 
    • Your IACV is set to idle too low. You need to adjust it via the screw Duncan mentioned. From memory it should be 650rpm with the valve electrics unplugged. What is it trying to idle at with the IACV plugged in?
    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion 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. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
