Hey all im looking at a microtech LT-8 on ebay atm and was wondering if it can be used on a RB25 neo it says it was setup on a 355 chev motor so can i use it on rb25? Do i have to just change the base maps and get a loom to suit? Can i run it as a piggy back system and use the factory one to control the Auto?

im 99% sure lt8 are for 4cyls only, i had one on my celica, i think you'll need to run the lt10 series.

But honestly, you may get the mircotech for anywhere between 900-1100, then you have to wire in it which is more $$$ if you cant do it. I would get a powerfc, plug n play = nice and easy

any ECU you choose has the same issue as the PFC, none of them handle the auto gearbox logic

your paths moving forward are

1) remap the stock ecu

2) greddy emanage piggyback

3) change the ecu (in this case any ECU will be the same as none support the auto)

so if you go for #3 the PFC is by far the best ECU you can use as long as you dont mind gear change possibly becoming flary/harsh on the autobox

going to a microtech is a step backwards - i think they are great for rotaries and 4cylinders, but for skyline PFC is spot on

    • Absolutely this. Yes, except not vacuum hose. Something oil/fuel safe is a better idea.
    • Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?
    • The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage. 
    • Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)
    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
