Out of interest, why do you want an stand alone ECU. Uprev will allow you to load up to 5 tunable maps into the factory ECU.

If not, it is likely any good aftermarket ECU can be wired in. I'm not sure on the motor or it's needs in that car but I guess it will need to support twin e throttles, quad fully variable cam timing but otherwise pretty nothing tricky. You also need to consider transmission control if it is auto

Auto support is uncommon in aftermarket.

I can't see why uprev wouldn't do everything you need. I have 2 uprev-ed cars (Titan and Fuga) and have only ever used the primary tuned maps (the others are intended to cover fuel economy over performance, valet mode, standard, towing but to me it's a bit of a gimmick).

If you need a display, there are various options for ODB readers, I use Greedy Informeter.

yeah think it needs more looking into. i know when i looked at tuning my last car it would only take a single map on uprev 

 

Easy to do as Duncan has said.
our tuner needs to enable ARC feature pack which is around $100-150 on top of your original Uprev licence which allows 5 maps, basic igntion table tuning table and various other features (burnout mode and Launch control).

Syvecs do a plug in and is around $6k plus install & tune. Can control the auto box.

what i think its down to if you don't have curse control is how do you you change map setting's on uprev

yeah according to uprev that is an issue if you don't have it (I assumed everything would....)

they recommend adding cruise control buttons from another model of the same car, as most have the wiring in place.

but like I said above, I've only ever changed maps to test that I could, I'm not sure of the day to day value?

I am hoping to one day add cruise control, and its a toss up between the stock steering wheel controls or the added 3rd party buttons.

What is it you mean by "another model of the same car"? do you mean getting the steering controls from a US Infinity G37? or is there another AUS delivered vehicle that has the same steering wheel?

So, I'm assuming you have a v37 skyline  and OP was talking about m35 stagea. I don't know specifics for either.  The uprev site says

So. assuming it is correct, you'd hit ebay/yahoo japan etc and search for your car's model code and "cruise control button" or "steering wheel" if they are one part. Something like this:

https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h551134787

However, I have no idea if there is some incompatibility you need to consider specific to your model, and in the case of v37 it looks like you probably need a radar cruise control unit for the front bumper as well. 

If you want this for uprev maps, I'd simply suggest contacting them as they will have first hand experience or know someone who does. If you are looking for factory cruise when you don't have it, I guess that will be a bit of a learning curve :)

I have looked into this a little bit & I’ll share what I have learned.

 

You can get cruise control buttons & steering wheel surround from the US to enable map switching. That does not give you actual cruise control. You still need the actual cruise control box for ~$1000

 

I have also heard of first gen 370gt’s not having enough memory to store multiple maps. Options were to either find a later model ecu or ship the original ecu to the US for modification

Surely it is acceptable to just wire in some buttons hidden in a small enclosure in the glovebox/console/wherever to provide the map switching without having to swap in a steering wheel??

Just hijack the loom wiring that is supposed to go to the steering wheel buttons and reroute/extend as required.

Yes the 08 cars don't have the memory that's why you can't run ecutrk on the 08 cars. I may have to send to ecu of to the USA if I buy that car

You don’t have to swap the steering wheel. Just swap the plastic surround to accomodate the extra cruise control buttons

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
