If you speak to some people who don't drive silvias or are fan boys you might change your mind. I have heard some bad things about xtc (one a cutomers cars that they had crashed)but you seem to here bad thinks about most tuners so its up to you.

how do workshops remapp ecu's? sounds pretty complex.  :D

On the older read Nissans, R32, S13, etc. the map is stored on a standard 256kbit EPROM, the software to manipulate maps is freely available on the net, and the electronics to burn it to a new chip is available for $60 upwards. Chips themselves are a few bucks.

The tuning is just like any other product, just not quite as convenient as a lot of the types with hand-controllers, but you CAN get EPROM emulators to perform much the same thing. But they're pretty expensive.

Does anyone know if there are tuners in Melbourne that provides Re-mapped RB25 (R33 GTS-T series 1.5) ECU's. I was going to send mine to Toshi, but can't get car to Sydney & it might take a bit of reposting ECU's before I recieve the best suited?

I could be wrong here, has anyone from other states sent their ECU to Toshi & got a replacement without him seeing & tuning the car?

Cheers

    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)      
    • Thanks buddy. I thought it was a server storage thing. 🤣
    • Perfect! Thanks for this, both look like great options!
