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.

      WTB noltec r32 front upper (camber) arms

      I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.

      I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.

      @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
