Folks, I have something to confess.

Just brought the RSM off Prank (thanks dude) and was hooking it up late in the afternoon. Anyways, getting dark and spliced the wrong wire and you know what happened. Bye, bye ECU. :uh-huh:

Started smelling something burning and frantically pulling the wires apart.

Now I have to put my plans aside for that MP3 player and an Aprilia RS125 I really wanted before Christmas, to get a Power FC.

Anyone dealed with nengun before? Anyone eles anyone recommend?

I feel really small right now.... :bonk:

Dude get it checked first that you cant fix it, lots of ppl dont but in some cases especially if the car was running or the power was still to the ecu it clow a cap or resistor or even a fuse. I couldnt tell you who to check it but thats what id be doin!! Bad luck

Thanks for that.

I checked out the fusebox and one did blow. I replaced it then ran the ECU diagnostics test and the red LED is on, not flashing or anything. I think this means the ECU is dead. Can anyone confirm this?

If you need a ECU in the meantime, I can prob lend you one.

Thanks for the offer mate. But I'm already in the process of getting a Power FC. Hopefully I can get it up an running soon cause I really want to go on that cruise to Putty Rd in a GTR, not a automatic Toyota Celica.

I got my Power FC through Perfect Run. I was able to negotiate a price a few hundred cheaper than listed on the website.

If all goes well, I'll get the Power FC tomorrow or the next. Then have to tune it on Friday or Saturday then I'll be ready to rock.

400HP, it did cross my mind but I was going to get the PFC sooner or later so I figured why waste money on a stock ECU.

    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
