I'd like to get a chip for my second Q (a '92). I can do the installation myself like I did with the first one. I'll send email.

I just got my NICO ECU in today, 20 min ago I came back from a test drive after installing the ECU- took me whoppn 10 min at the most.

Results- I can't tell a difference yet, I think the ECU needs to learn to be fully taken advantage off. I did pull it to indicated 7500RPM on the tach but didn't find the rev limiter as I was already past the posted speed limit. I think my transmission is causing me hesitation/vibrations on acceleration.... is that adapter plate for a Z32 5spd ready yet ? I can't wait to get rid of this non responsive/sluggish transmission.

Yes, unfortunately the Y33 ECU project is pretty much a non-starter.

Yes, they CAN be chipped, but it is very difficult and quite expensive. I'd need to spend over $1000 just to get started, and each one would cost me at least $200 in parts (the chips have to be imported directly from Japan) plus several hours of labor and dyno time. Also, since I don't have a Y33 and only one ECU, it would be difficult to do the development necessary to make a safe, powerful tune.

Sorry guys!

Hey Robert...

Long time friend of Q45 owners. Might be the owner of a 1990 q soon very soon......

When are we going to see the NICO ecu's back for sale?

Can we use consult (for the z31's) or are the inputs not correct for the program?

I think it would be a great idea for a FULL OUT MAX MPG mode for those of us that drive alot of mile too and from work..

I'd offer mine for testing. And I'd bet that you'd make it back as I bet there are more modded Y33's on this forum than G50's by now. And it seems like those of us with them are willing to spend a little more. I'd spend $500 for one, I've sold a dozen sets of springs and I bet at least half of those guys would too. I have 7 more sets on the way with at least 3 people wanting some and I haven't even really put the word out.

Have for sale a 1992 ECU with no options for $55 (shipping included). Excellent condition. Part no. A18-A21 P60.

Also have a 1993 JWT ECU (Fed no options) for $120. This has the plug-in socket so you can plug in Robert's chip for a little extra performance. I bought this a few years ago from Jim Wolf Tech. for around $500.

Also I have a 1995 ECU with TCS for $65. If you prefer, I could priority mail it direct to Robert for his ECU upgrade.

Price includes shipping to 48 states.

Sign me up

I just got my 90 Q45 back on the road after 6 weeks of fooling around with the brakes, adjustable front and rear upper control arms AND installing the TCU from a 93 unit. I went for a test drive tonight and checked the posts for the ECU again because now it tries to shift out of first at about 7200 rpm, but runs up against the limiter. Funny thing, because before I would have sworn it shifted at about 6700 rpm. Anyway, I really need the reworked ECU, so I hope I made it in time!

Question Should I send you the original 90 California ECU that is still in the car, or should I send you the 93 ECU that came with the TCU I just installed? The 93 ECU # is A18-B10 P72.

Let me know the next step...........I'm ready
