serouisuly thou.

Guys, Standard ECU's cannot be remapped just as they are.

What you need is what the Japanese call ROM Boards. You will need to buy a ROM Board and then have the proper extraction and installation tools to replace the STD ROM Board with your tuned ROM Board. This is what the Japanese refer to as "ROM Tune" ECU's (Mines, Kakimoto, Brain etc....). By doing this your car can be tuned for mods while at the same time retaining all the factory advantages such as fault compensaion, air conditioning, idle control and auxlaries (e.g. R34 GTT Auto Gearbox).

I'm fairly sure this is what Ed is referring to as "Daughterboards". Correct me if I'm wrong please Ed :)

What about a aftermarket ECU, there have been one or two Mines replacemenet (chipped?) ECU's ones flating around in the FS section, if thats all I need then I will pick one up and book myself in :D

this is looking to be delayed a little maybe put back a month. please still register your interest to [email protected] , so far we have about 18people interested.

dont forget leave you car, mods and contact details so i can confirm once a date is set.

Hmmm.... He has a Supra.... I have a Supra.... Sounds very tempting... :)

Now which computer to buy.... :(

only one problem.... the TopSecret Supra is powered by a real engine :D:p:p AN RB26 :(:D:D

Can i ask a question here..... is this bloke suppose to be that good that you feel one of Australia's leading workshops cant do an equivalent job..... is there something he has that we dont that enables him to tune any car that much better then an Aussie tuner???

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
