like i havnt spent alot of time and money in my SR swap or just on my 240SX as well? as an example of what im getting at look at moates selling the basic board for 50.00 which is a steal and everyone else wants atleast double that for the same thing. i see the pricing of the real time boards being a bit more because of the hardware involved but something as simple and basic and the moates board or the like is no miracle in nissan ECU tuning, its a fairly basic component. im new to the ECU but it wont take me long to get what i need to get and take it where i want, maybe a new set of eyes from a different side of ECU tuning looking at the code will see something that has been over looked, ever think of that? the tuning nature of the ECU wont develop if you keep it locked up. look at honda with hondata vs crome, when crome hit the streets it caused a big ruckus but the development for tuning a honda ECU blew up and now you can do practically anything to it, almost like standalone in itself.

If you want information regarding tuning the Nissan ecu, it can be done and its plenty of information out there to do it successfully.

I myself, know very little about programming to sit down and disassemble the nissan ecu in order to mod it.

So tunercode was an option for me and makes tuning the software a lot more easier...

Hey, if you have the time and really plan on moving forward I wish ya luck.

Chip tuning is free, but if you want the adjustability and option level that TunerCode provides, you have to pay for it.

Its a shame that it sounds like, despite your previous experience on other platforms, you don't quite appreciate the amount of time that has been put into finding the addresses and tweaking the code to give that extra level of adjustment.

Your LC is a hack job. You didn't write the code for it, you're just trying to transplant it from another bin. I've done LC, from scratch in assembly (with help, i'm not that smart) but i now FULLY appreciate the time that goes into reverse engineering something.

How about doing the disassembly, finding the addresses and writing the code yourself, like the TunerCode guys have done then maybe you'll appreciate how tiny the $100 amount is to pay for the work that they have done.

You do understand that you don't just get an XDF file correct? The code is completely rewritten and sheds a lot of light on a lot of mis-conceptions in the Nissan tuning community. Included is the documentation, adx, xdf, and bin files. It also allows you to convert stock tunes into a TunerCode bin file so you don't have to start from scratch... So what you are calling highway robbery you clearly don't understand.

Btw.. what is coming will blow every other factory nissan tuning platform out of the water.

And on your note about the Honda ECU stuff.. that is where my roots are. I saw and contributed to the development of the Honda code and even maintained Uberdata for the last few years before moving over to doing NismoTronic. The problem with Crome was there were too many hands in the project and a lot of things were misunderstood and/or did not work. So sure, it was free to a point (didn't include logging and when it did it was single byte protocol at that). Sure it was nice when it first came out, BUT after everyone started to realize that it was not being maintained well, bugs were not fixed, and the code was not properly documented they all started turning to something that was maintained and properly documented (NepTune or Hondata). So in the end.. you do end up getting what you pay for.
