If you plan to tune it and leave it you can't go past Dr Drift stock ECU re-map. My car is re-mapped and I could not be happier. Very cost efficient. R32 $700. Silvia about $1000 that includes dyno time and tuning of course.

Note: can only be done to silvia's and R32.

If R33 need a power FC

I see you have R33..??

My pick is power FC, if unable to source one nowdays Haltech now make awesome plug in ECU's.

If budget and manhours are no object of course MOTEC is the only way to go.

motec is definately the best... microtec and wolf 3d arent so great.

motec doesnt use AFM though.

uses tps and map sensors i think, so there is a bit of work to get it going, but the most rewards in the long run

Not a fan of Microtec myself, and I ran a Wolf3D V4 in my rotary - wasn't impressed.

If you don't want to spend a fortune, I'd recommend going for an Apexi Power FC, however be quick as Apexi just went broke so they will probably be thin on the ground in no time.

power fc if you can get your hands on one... wouldnt the dr drift re-map with standard ecu not really be up to par with such a highly modified vehcle, big turbo external gate, big injectors.....the standard ecu's never meant for that, you wouldnt think a chip would help it out that much

Mate, do your homework before you go giving advice. Dr Drift certainly do R33 ECU's... I just had mine done... $1200...

A mail order remap would probably not be ideal, but a factory ECU tuned in real time on the dyno with factory knock feedback is IMO by far a better option than PFC... Can easily take into consideration cams turbo injector and afm upgrades...

:) And how well is yours running for such little dyno time? It was around 1.5 hours all up yeah? When are we fitting the rest of the bits? I can't wait to 'advertise' the potential of the factory ecu on the 33's a little more...

We've nearly finished our own R33 build project, looking for 300+ rwkw daily driver on pump fuel, with stock ecu... just something interesting for the missus to do the shopping in :(

Nothing wrong with microtec unless you have a retard tuning it. the early model microtecs arnt the best i agree and they are very limited in features/inputs etc but if you have a great tuner like i do (UAS - free plug haha) you can make anything work well. Probly the best microtec is the LT12s. Great for variable cam timing aswell apparently. If you want over kill and have deep pockets go for motec but i dont see what all the fuss is about...so what if its got bells and whistles..will you ever use them?

Ive heard only good things about autronic aswell

    • Hi, does anyone know how I can, or can a moderator remove this advertisement please.  Has been sold a long time ago and would like to remove references. Thanks. 
    • There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new 
    • I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well
    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
