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.

Parting out? No, it was a eoi if you read it, and yes I was undecided on my ecu choice but not anymore, thanks for reading my posts though [emoji106]

And lol @ a skyline being a dream build but whatever floats your boat

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.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      RB25 Drama's

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
