I just had a quick read about the Skyline ECU on the Adaptronic website, but couldn't find any info on this feature.

Can you explain a little more on how it works and connects?

There is a 3rd party android app call adaptive tuner as mentioned by trex. I use it via USB but it can be run through Bluetooth with some additional hardware, I have heard the speed isn't great. There is also another app I recently stumbled upon called adaptrackit. Its more like a race dash screen sort of thing.

No tuner experience?

If a tuner can't figure out how to tune different types of ecu's then he should look for another job.. It's not magic

Yes any good tuner should be able to tune it but it will take longer being a first time tune and getting to know the software which will ultimately cost more and finished tune may not be spot on and require further tuning, costing more again. When tuners have a lot of experience with a particular ecu they know the ins and outs, potential issues, bugs and how to correct them.

Since you like the Maxxtuning ecu so much, why don't you take the plunge and put your money where your mouth is and show us all how good it is.

For me it makes no sense when we have so many locally supported companies to choose from and if I was gonna build a no expense spared monster setup I would be going Motec and it wouldn't be on a r33 gtst. The end.

This thread was to inform people about a different ecu option.

And maybe you should learn to read a little better as I'm getting one for my car.

And I don't think anyone here cares what you and your wanna be dream build would be so pretty please take your negative bs and F off

Ead josh. 3 days ago you where going to part your car out. A week or two ago u where saying you where undecided on what ECU u wanted. I have merely stated what most people are thinking and really haven't been negative in any other way. Since your being a tool. Maybe u should refrain in making negative comments in the posts u make and then people may give what you say the time of day.

You're the one with the dream build mate not me. My car is done, nice, simple and reliable.

If you want to keep pouring unnecessary money into your 5k gtst with its sludged up RB25 I'm not stopping you. For the record I did say the max looks like a good ecu, maybe u need to learn to read yourself. So u can ead an f off yourself Mr sick Kent.

Ive got a 8" tablet plugged into my vipec ecu and you can tune it off that. Its got the same program the tuner uses!!?

GUI looks good, will download it at work and have a play.

looks the same as Eugene 'the new upgrade from wari' and so does the logging system.

If it worked on windows 10 i'd check out the maxx software.

just installed it at work, Maxx Tuning that is...

a few things:

  • where's the map tracing option?
  • no quick VE tuning?
  • no engine protection such as low fuel pressure, low oil pressure, water temp, oil temp, etc. however does have EGT, AFR protection but not enough IMO
  • can't view timing map and fuel map at the same time (then again other brands you can't except Nistune.. I love nistune haha)
  • Decent launch control settings, anti lag settings and also rev cut - especially the fuel cut + ignition cut after x rpm

Over all by just assessing the software it's not too bad.. but real world could be a different thing.

Didn't know Andy released a new package.. I do like the release notes:

Release Note: NOT recommend for tuning actual engines at the moment.

its a great ecu we had a play with a few in sweden and norway 2012 /2013 (we were going to be the Australian distributor but they took to long and pushed the RRP price up substantially) real shame.

we have moved across to EMTRON as it does everything plus more.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
