i got a haltech E11V2 in the GTR... should be able to get one fitted and tuned well under the 4 grand...

Thats the best looking option for GTR from what ive seen :)

Although in saying that, i use Microtech LT-12s currently and after its tuned properly, no problems from it

There are heaps of options out there, like Paul said, there's a million PowerFC's out there, have a look for the DJetro version before buying the normal one though, they dont use AFM's so you can take one possible problem out of the car :)

Hope that helps

bump has anyone heard of the ems tuning systems thinking about ordering one today

Don't order _anything_ based on the opinion of some unknown Internet person.

Unfortunately, everyone on the Internet has an opinion (and many of those are wrong).

Now ignore the above advice and read on :P

I'd do it the other way - select a tuner, have a chat with them, decide whether they are

who you want to tune your car. Once you know which tuner you want to use, find out

what they recommend and are comfortable with... and purchase that.

I think it's a myth there is 'plenty of powerfc around' .. I'm not sure whether it's right to be saying that, when it may be true (installed in cars), but trying buying one right now!

I can barely see any that have been put up for sale in the last month or so, therefore that doesn't make them 'readily available' to me.. they will become rare and expensive over the next few years, unless something better comes along.

GET A V500 WOLF. DEFINATELY ONE OF THE BEST IMO ONE OF MY NOYZ WORKS AT RANK ROTARY IN VICTORIA AND HIS BOSS IS LIKE ONE OF THE LEADING WOLF TUNERS.

IT HAS WAY MORE TUNING POINTS THAN A POWER FC IT BEEN COMPARED TO MOTEC SYSTEMS AS WELL. THEY ARE f**kING EXPENSIVE BUT DEFINATELY WORTH THE WAD OF CASH THAT U WILL BE DEPARTING WITH

So in comparing a WOLF to a Motec you would be under the impression that it has accurate control of four camshafts along with electronic throttle control? I'm not a big fan of either managment systems but I know where to draw the line. And tuning points has little to do with tuning accuracy.

      I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?

      You can get them with the worm drive rotator but I was too tight to pay another $250-$300 so manual labour it is! I don't think it will be too hard to rotate though.

      Sag as in the windows start to slowly open themselves, or they're just slow to go up/down with engine off?

      It looks like it needs a big worm gear drive on it to control the rotating, not a few sloppy pins!

      As Duncan said, first there was OBD, which few cars used, then came OBD2.   Now an interesting point, OBD2 isn't even for what you want to do. OBD2 is for emissions testing. There is some sensor data on OBD2, but it's up to the manufacturer what they're putting on it. Most scan tools operate on UDS, which like OBD2 is a standard built on-top of CAN. UDS specifies how to structure a message, what very limited things mean such as "read memory address" but it does not specify what is stored in which memory address, that is all up to the manufacturer. You either a scan tool compatible with that vehicle, or to know how to reverse engineer all the data, which can take a VERY long time and a lot of vehicles to get it right. Oh and then the manufacturer does a firmware update and changes what's where... Ask me how I know that as fact Oh, and by the time you've got the scan tool that supports all the manufacturers stuff, well, you're back at "But a consult cable and the Nissan software" The main difference being most manufacturers software these days works with the same hardware readers, as the readers are built to support J2534 which is another standard for how the PC communicates with the tool to make it do specific things on the car...
