Personally went with an SAFCII twice, but never got around to installing either of them as I changed my mind. I think, IMO you should just get a GREDDY E-MANAGE. You could probably pick one up 2nd hand for a similar price to what you would pay for the NEO, and its got slightly more features over the SAFC. Installation and tune is roughly about $300 for the SAFC depending on where you go, and the E-MANAGE would be just that little bit more, with those extra options, and keep in mind more tune ability. I have also gone with a GREDDY E-MANAGE now, paid a about $50 more than I paid for my SAFCII recently

Thanks for that. Did you have to switch over wires or anything to make it work properly? Yep that's what I want, unplug stock ECU and plug in E-MANAGE, and vies versa URAS on the forums said to use a R33 GTR harness, and I have to switch a few wires, but I lost the PM he sent me with the details. If anyone can clarify, that would be much appreciated

That is pretty damn bad! Poor quality for sure. I was just looking at thee KKR turbo's last night, well and truly put off for good now.

PLUG IN HARNESS - SUITS A RANGE OF VEHICLES https://www.rhdjapan.com/home/products/prod...product_id=2253 Just wondering, the above harness says it suits HCR32 but I was reading in one of the threads/posts above that there was some issues with the E-MANAGE readings correctly and some wires/jumpers need to be changed over for it to run correctly (RB20DET)?

Was searching for some information and found a few threads and links with some helpful information, so thought I would share it with everyone. I will keep updating this post as I find more relevant information.

To avoid any damage when installing it is recommended to use the correct harness for your vehicle. When using a harness there is no need for the optional injector or ignition harness. E-Manage is an inexpensive programmable fuel management system that allows you to properly tune your factory fuel system, without having to change the entire factory ECU system to an expensive "stand-alone" unit. The e-Manage system is a universal "piggy-back" type unit, which taps into most factory ECU wiring and it still utilizes the existing sensors. Basic functions will allow the user to slightly alter factory injector duty-cycle (± 20% at 5 preset RPM points), by intercepting and altering airflow or MAP sensor signals. For VTEC cars you can adjust the VTEC shift point. Additional features that are built into the system, but are only accessible though the use of our PC-Windows based "E-Manage Support Tool" communication software (Please see our Authorized GREDDY Support Dealers for more information) are a 16x16 Airflow Adjustment Map, Larger Main Injector correction adjustment, Upgrade Air Flow Meter adjustment, Boost Limiter Cut, Anti-engine Stall, VTEC-fuel adjustment, Real-time Map Trace, Real-time Display, Real-time Communication, and basic Data-logging. With the use of our "Optional Injector Harness" and the software, the unit has the ability to control an additional 16x16 Injector duty cycle Map and the Controls for adding up to 2 Additional Sub-injectors. If the "Optional Ignition Harness" and the software is used the unit has the ability to control a 16x16 Ignition Timing Map. All of the above Maps can also be Map-traced in Real-time as well. If the factory range of Map or Airflow meter is surpassed, you can incorporate our "Optional GReddy Pressure Sensor and Pressure Harness" to set larger scales of adjustment. E-MANAGE – WHAT IT IS & ISN'T The GREDDY E-MANAGE is a simple fuel computer designed for Japanese automobiles. The intended purpose is to allow the user to fine-tune the fuel curve of the vehicle to take advantage of various modifications to the car. There are many additional options for the E-manage, allowing the user to put together a system that suits their needs. In its most basic form, the E-manage alters the primary airflow input to the car's ECU. By increasing or decreasing this signal, the ECU will alter the amount of fuel going into the engine. While the E-manage is very powerful and flexible, a full stand-alone ECU is even more powerful. A stand-alone ECU replaces the entire fuel injection system with one that's designed to be easily programmable by a laptop computer. This gives the ultimate in flexibility, but with a steep learning curve and a LOT of work required to tune in the fuel map properly. It's hard to say at what point it's wiser to go with a stand-alone than a piggyback computer (IE: the E-MANAGE) – it really depends on how good the car's ECU is to begin with, the amount of modifications, etc. If nothing else, the E-manage makes for a great stepping stone before going to a full stand-alone – you can learn to tune the car while having the factory fuel map to fall back on. E-MANAGE MAIN UNIT The main brain of the whole deal. The unit by itself is VERY basic – there are 5 knobs you can adjust on the front of the unit to do a VERY rough fuel map with. E-MANAGE SUPPORT TOOL Now we're getting somewhere. Included in the kit is a serial to USB cable and a CD with the Support Tool software. The cable is proprietary, and not a standard cable. The software unlocks the full potential of the E-manage – 16x16 fuel maps, changing airflow meters, using the other optional harnesses, etc. You really need to have the Support Tool for the E-manage to be of any value. NOTE: This serial to USB cable is a special cable of some kind – it doesn't seem to have any advanced logic, but it is weird and special enough that you can't just get one at a computer store. It plugs into your computer via the serial port and into the E-manage with a USB plug. OPTIONAL INJECTOR HARNESS This splices into the stock fuel injectors for control and logging. With this harness, you can directly add pulse width to the stock injectors and datalog their activity. You can also directly control 2 additional injectors as well. NOTE: You can buy JUST the ignition harness and use the extra wires for the injector harness. The ignition harness comes with 12 wires and an extra connector to plug into the E-manage. Most cars don't use all the wires – 4 cylinder and rotary cars especially. Look at the E-manage manual, find your car, and find out how many wires you need for ignition control and for injector control. Make sure to add 2 wires to the total if you plan to use additional injectors. If the total is less than 12, buy just the ignition harness and add the extra wires to the main E-manage plug for your injector harness. The injector harness is just some wires with ends crimped on them that you add to the main E-manage plug. OPTIONAL IGNITION HARNESS This splices into the car's timing input, from a crank angle sensor, cam angle sensor, or the like. With this you can alter the car's ignition timing. GREDDY PRESSURE SENSOR This is a 3-bar air pressure sensor add-on. With it, you can tune your fuel maps with this sensor's output as the basis for tuning instead of the car's airflow signal input. This is primarily used when you've overrun the capacity of the stock airflow meter. Whether or not you need this is a tough question – it's really best to run the car without it first and see if you're maxing out the stock airflow meter signal before investing in the pressure sensor. NOTE: The peak/hold/warning GREDDY boost gauge uses the SAME sensor, so you can share that sensor's output with the E-manage. PRESSURE SENSOR HARNESS It's simply the wiring harness to plug the sensor into the E-manage. If you're using the boost gauge's sensor, you can buy just this harness and tap it into the boost gauge's harness. LARGER INJECTORS & E-MANAGE The E-manage really works well with larger injectors, and larger injectors are highly recommended. GREDDY advertises that you can increase injector size 150% - this is not really a limitation of the E-manage, but of the engine itself. Larger injectors will squirt more fuel at their smallest pulse width, and too large injectors will cause idling and running problems. But, additional injectors can be added as well to supplement the stock injectors. FUEL DELIVERY Compensate for upgraded mass air flow meters, throttle bodies, or fuel injectors. Adjustment of fuel delivery at 5 different RPM ranges Adjustment of air flow meter signal by up to 20% Incorporated Fuel- and Boost-Cut Controller Control of up to two additional injectors activated by boost or RPM level (with optional boost sensor) Idle adjustment circuit included E-MANAGE & DIFFERENT AFM'S One big source of confusion on the E-manage is its ability to let you use different airflow meters. While this can be done, there are some limitations and rules to play by. First off, you can only change an airflow meter for another meter of similar type. For example, if you have a hot wire airflow meter, you can use ANY hot wire airflow meter, even if it's from another manufacturer. The software/firmware only has Japanese airflow meters listed - US AFM's could be used in theory, but you'd have to find its Japanese equivalent. Anyhow, if you have a flap-type airflow meter, you can only use another flap-type; if you have a Karmann, you can only use another Karmann. This option might be helpful for Subaru owners who have had problems with less-than-durable airflow meters - might be able to swap to a Nissan unit, or even another Subaru unit that's hardier. Second, you can't get rid of the airflow meter and use a MAP sensor. Even if you add the optional GREDDY pressure sensor, you must still have an airflow meter in the system. The GREDDY pressure sensor simply adds another basis for your fuel maps in the E-manage - you can use it to tune your fuel maps instead of the input from the airflow meter (very useful if your airflow meter has run out of range), but that's all internal to the E-manage. GREDDY PROFEC E-01 BOOST CONTROLLER & E-MANAGE GREDDY Profec E-01 is an electronic boost controller that utilizes fuzzy logic and also incorporates a SD card slot to record/playback data. Not only is the E-01 a boost controller, it's also a central data and information system. The E-01 will record data, monitor information on the screen, give you peak/hold/warning features for any data streams it's monitoring...it really complements the E-manage well. Even if you don't intend to program the E-manage with it, it's really a handy tuning aid as a laptop is rather cumbersome to keep in the car and watching at all times! The E-01 can fully control and program the E-manage. With the E-01, you can record and monitor the E-MANAGE's inputs/outputs, tune the various maps, set up the unit, etc. You can save up to 3 maps in the E-01's memory card and rather easily switch between them. In theory, you can have multiple memory cards and swap in different maps. The E-01 seems like a pretty good way to tune the E-manage, but initial tuning should probably be done with a laptop. The E-01 is really better suited for doing "tweaking" to your fuel maps instead of heavy number-crunching tuning. Part of this is just the limitation of the display, lack of an Undo function, etc. The E-01 is also supposed to share its boost sensor with the E-manage - there is an optional cable that goes from the E-01's COM port to the Boost Sensor port on the E-manage. The E-01 can also datalog input from GREDDY peak/hold/warning gauges, albeit only one can be connected at a time.

Yeah I was thinking proper loom as well, not cutting and shutting. Just a few plugs which make things heaps easier and neater! Thats good how you got the additional looms with the package, their pretty expensive by themselves. Let me know once you get it installed and tuned, be keen to hear your results. Thanks for letting me know, thats something to keep in mind. Don't want to go losing all my maps Yeah thats what I was intending to do, just install it my self and get someone to tune it, as its pretty simple to install and I don't want to pay someone else to do that. I can always just take it to the tuners, plug it there and get them to do the rest. Might see if I can get my hands on a plug and play harness, I think there about $160ish. How is your car running on the E-MANAGE, and how much power you making?

Thanks for the reply Josh, pretty useful. Thanks for the info on the MAP sensor, I knew you could run one, but didn't know you could run both AFM and MAP, thats awesome I am pretty confident in wiring and have no doubt I could do it pretty easily, but I don't particularly want to chop up the stock loom as I may want to take the E-MANAGE out at a later stage. I would prefer to use the wiring harness so I can plug and play, but I guess I could always use connectors as well for the universal wiring.. something to think about. The E-MANAGE I bought was previously in an R34, running the ignition and injector harness's I am presuming, so I am hoping they are already assembled. As far as the map on the E-MANAGE goes, how do you reset it, or put it back to standard? And if its been tuned previously, once I plug it into my R32, will it run on stock map or do I have to program the E-MANAGE *I'm assuming reprogram. Unfortunately no support tool or E-01 at this stage as I will not be tuning it my self, will leave that to someone who knows what they are doing! Thanks again for your help, and if anyone else has more info that would be much appreciated.

Hey Purchased an E-MANAGE BLUE today with ignition and injector harness. Yet to pick it up, but will have it next week. Anyways, I have a few questions that I need some help with, and just wondering if someone could help me out. My questions are; - It has a universal harness, so is it worth getting a model specific harness (HCR32 RB20DET, About $160) so it plugs straight in, or should I just get it wired in and tuned with the universal harness? * My worry is that, if I buy a universal harness, then get it tuned it will end up costing more than if I just got the universal harness wired in and tuned. - How do you hook this thing up!? I cant make sense of it, its piggy back so where does it plug into the loom and how does it plug into the E-MANAGE and into the stock ECU at the same time? Anyone got any pictures, or just a detailed explanation would do. * I'm talking about installing it with a vehicle specific harness, its obvious how it wires in if your using a universal harness. - With the ignition harness and the injector harness, does it do the same thing as a standalone ECU or is there still functions lacking over a standalone ECU? *Comparing to a PFC for instance. - Is the E-MANAGE BLUE old out dated technology compared to the E-MANAGE ULTIMATE? Thats all that comes to mind at the moment, but if I think of more I will post them up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Abu

pfffft... I could do it quicker in a Ford

Not that keen to see it, plus your in NSW and I am in VIC... Thanks anyways.

Do you have any pictures of your boot install?

I don't want any fancy shit with neons and glass and crap, just want a custom box under the parcel shelf with 2 x 12" subs, and fake walls and fake floor with 2 x amps on the floor. All carpeted and mounted neatly.

Well basically yeah, that’s all I was after. No glass or perspex and shit, just a basic install for 2 x subs under the parcel shelf in custom box, 2 x amps on the floor with fake walls and floor. Labour + MDF + carpet = $500, thats what I'm trying to price up. The place that quoted me is a well known Audio shop, and they do very quality work from what I have seen. But like I said, starting price was $500, so could be more depending on specifics such as perspex and glass additions. Yeah my uncle is a cabinet maker for JAYCO carvans, so free MDF and cutting. Will just need to pay for carpet, glue etc. Thats what I have always done in the past, but this time around I CBF as I am working full time Monday - Friday and don't want to spend weekend after weekend getting a boost install finished while the car sits in the garage taking up space. Plus I will give up half way Well it's not stock is it? Making it custom!

My car is going in for inspection on Thursday the 8th of November, first registration in AUS as its a fresh import. Had the compliance done, got the RWC and had it all done properly (first time ever). Basically I now also have an issue similar to yours. I have 17" rims on my car, which according to VIC Roads is legal, tire profiles etc, but apparently for initial registration of the car you HAVE to have stock wheels on the car as stated on compliance paper. I have heard some inspectors pass them, some don't, but I can't afford to take the chance as I just don't have the time to stuff around. My advise is, do the best you can and have it all done properly. Have the car stock as possible, and basically as it appears on the compliance papers otherwise your just going to cause your self more problems and headaches. They will definitely check to see if the compliance work has been done, and standard things such as VIN, engine numbers, lights, horn etc They will inspect the car, how thoroughly depends on the inspector that checks it. I wouldn't take the chance as I said. It's not likely that they will put the car on a hoist, or jack it up but as long as it is fine from outside, and everything is legal then they wont persue it further. Best of luck!

All the WOLF's run inbuilt MAP sensor Thats awesome, I never knew that!

Nup, $500 I believe is still a bit to much for the work I need done. I understand that labour takes time + cost of materials, but $500 was a minimum quote and I'd rather just do it my self or get it done privately if I'm paying that much. $2,500? Well judging by what your getting done that seems like a straight out rip off, considering I was quoted a minmum of $500 for pretty much the same work.

My cousin installed some into his R32 GTR recently, and we just put them behind the door trim. Used 2 x self tapping screws, and just tapped them into the door. Sat nice and flush and cleared the window.

Ah I am so tempted to get one!! Will get back to you asap.

Hey I am looking at getting a basic custom boot install done in my R32. I have all the audio gear and have run all the wiring so all I need is the fabrication of the actual sub box and panels, as well as the carpeting. Just wanted to know if anyone can recommend a place which does good work? I called a place in Melbourne and they quoted me $500 for a custom sub box and panels, which I thought was a bit steep as I have already done all the wiring and am supplying all the audio equipment. Anyways if someone could recommend a place they have used/seen work done at, it would be much appreciated. Audio gear to be installed is 2 x amps and 2 x 12" subs, just need fake floor, and dual sub box, and side panels all carpeted and installed in an R32 boot. Thanks, Abu

I'm keen as, where you located? If your in Melbourne I will come and pick it up now

Look very similar to these gears: http://www.isc-warehouse.com/index.php?mai...b42a1c6aa27d858

I seen that silver/gold HC on ebay, looks neat!

PM sent.

Imported my 93 R32 a few months back. It basically had just under 124,000km's when I bought it in Japan, paid a good price for it. When it arrived it was in pretty much mint condition, almost everyone has commented that the car is immac. Interior is perfect and there is only 2 dents on the body in total, and those being very minor. Engine is very healthy, along with the driveline, and I haven't had any issues other than the ones I have caused my self which were and have been also very minor. Everything in the car works/worked, and the 100,000km service was done in Japan which I was happy with because it saves me a lot of time, money and labour. Just if your importing make sure you get a full mechanical inspection done with plenty of pictures, and usually the mechanic doing the inspection drives the car also.
