hi guys...

I pre-ordered a V500 plug in for GTT to realise that it cannot be ready in time for mods.... so I'm left with a few options here. all of which uses piggy back comp...the TCS is already disconnected, so won't have problems with lights lighting up..

anyways what are the advantages and disadvantages for piggyback comp..

the ECU will be required to

-run up to 500rwhp map

-run aftermarket fuel system

-control the NVCS

-run MAP

here's the option..

-v500 the non plug in version. Piggy back

-new Greddy ultimate Piggy back

-Haltech Piggy Back

-Motec M48 stand alone

-HKS F-con

thanks

There my choices if you would like to save some cash with a good unit I would say the greddy ultimate, cheapish but I like it. I got one going in to my gtt soon.

No piggy backs...lol

They are limited in some tunning options.

Motec is the way to go.

Find a tuner who has used it and go from there.

Motec is out of his budget i would assume.

Its nice to have the best of the best, but reality sometimes says thats not quite right

Why cant you wait for the new ECU to be delivered?

The Motec M48 is still within my budget I've set aside approx $2-3k..

the problem atm is the vehicle is a daily car...It was initially planned for the car to enter workshop during easter break..but then there's event I need to go to during that time..so everything is pushed forward...

although the wolf v500 I think it's a complete ECU in a way...it just doesn't control the misc stuff such as climate control..etc etc...

another options btw..haltech ECUS... anyone used them before?

got a haltech e11v2. easily run 500rwhp if you want to spend 2-3k. they are great ecu as well. for an extra 100$ ya get an closed loop boost solonoid/controller. and i believe you can get a plug and play loom for you car.

i am currently looking at the same haltech. and if i can afford after the bills are gone then im going it!

i hear the haltech can contriol almost anything in the car thats controlled by the ecu.

the haltech interceptor(piggy back) is also a great choice but probably be best going for a full ecu.

i have a friend that had an e6x installed in his car and said thats the best thing he has ever spent his money on. before that he had a EMS

      Meh. I "see" a typo above, that should have been "sell".

      The clutch pedal has a procedure for adjustment. This can only be done after you are 100% sure the system is absolutely free of air bubbles. You must bleed the clutch master cylinder first, then the "separation pipe" which is the clutch damper line, then the operating cylinder as detailed in the service manual. Also, you must fully depress the clutch pedal between shifts. Just because you can't feel it grabbing does not mean the input shaft is truly decoupled from the crank. At high RPM clutch plates are vibrating and moving around, you need to give it the best possible chance of success. On the BCNR33 Nissan revises these adjustment procedures slightly but not by much: I would be careful with trying to play games with these adjustments. As for the Nismo operating cylinder they say a lot of things. In practice the twin plate clutch needs less movement on the clutch fork to disengage because the whole stackup of the flywheel + friction plates + pressure plate is much taller. Personally if you find that the clutch still disengages too high at the top of the travel I would try the Nismo operating cylinder. Make sure to follow the air bleed procedures.

      Thank you for the links. I’m going to go with the 6pin plug you used. next step is rust treating re painting dash support bar and steering column then the 6pin cradle plug when it arrives in the mail.

      I don't how much the car makes a difference or whether it is just a question of gearbox and clutch. On mine it's fine. Pull type Nismo coppermix twin (standard, not competition) on the 5 speed in my Stagea. OEM slave cylinder. Bite point is a few cm off the very bottom of the pedal. Clutch pedal all the way down to put in gear, and when heading off at the lights, there's a tiny bit of nothing and then it starts biting. And fully engaged before the pedal is all the way released. There's a bit of play at the top where the pedal does nothing anymore. Are you in Australia @ck_chino? If you are set on using a Nismo slave cylinder I have one new-in-box at home. Ordered it together with the clutch but didn't get it fitted. We can work something out if you want it

      I am using a pull nismo coppermix twin in an r34 getrag box, had both the standard slave and  then the nismo one. Adjusted pedal to get bite point how I wanted , it is on the higher side, but would fully disengage past half way down.  I also read that the nismo slave won't work but I had no issues with the stroke, might become one later as clutch wears but 2+ years of happy motoring so far.  Take the above as one input only, specially as my setup is a bit unique in that I am using an S15 clutch master , cefiro clutch pedal, custom braided clutch line. Lots of variables at play.
