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]

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
