I should have gone E-Manage and don't listen to sales bullshit again!!!

All else fails I will sell the Haltech or burn it.

Well the Haltech option is "off" my list of things to do. .

Fcon fz ftw!

but it appears they also use the ksrom like what Scott wants to do.. (i always wondered why they used two computers to run the car properly.)

thanks for clearing that up

What conclusions have you come to Craig?

I have issues with my ecu also as the throttle lag is bloody dangerous. Im hoping to find a spare ecu in japan and ship it to KSrom for a chip. From what ive read they have fixed the lag and im guessing the airflow r&r issue. As they are so cheap, they are possibly the best option if you already have a copgyback,(cant write p*ig? totalitarian website developers!) at least untill someone here cracks the ecu.

There are quite a few companies in Japan that do remaps/custom maps.

Yes KS seem to be the cheapest, but there is also Nismo, TEPS and "G-Zone" that spring to mind immediately although I cannot recall the others at this moment.

They ALL get rid of the 25% throttle <2800rpm among other things.

I should have gone E-Manage and don't listen to sales bullshit again!!!

1. Checked with the dyno guy to see that he had clamped the voltage on the signal from the airflow meter. - Done

2. Checked this is even worth going ahead with by doing a long trip to see wether fuel consumption was better - Done

3. Have tried dropping the boost all the way back to 7PSI.....still has the same problem just with less power. - Done

4. Cleaned airflow meter, throttle body and fliter - Done

5. Need to find someone to make up a bigger airflow meter unit to reduce the voltage and see wether that work....will have to go back on the dyno though.

6. Go down to VIC one day and see wether Cihan can fix.

8. Suggestions ...... I will try anything

All else fails I will sell the Haltech or burn it.

Suggestion #1 - Get a decent tuner for the Haltech. I have heard that JEM and Autotech are pretty good. Do CRD tune Haltech's?

Suggestion #2 - If none of these guys can fix your tune... rip the f**kin' thing out and get either an eManage (road trip down here for tune) or Fcon V and get it tuned in Sydney.

If you decide to go with #2, I would look into the FCON first, although both Cihan (eTuner) and Trent (Status Tuning) are damn good tuners and probably worth the 8hr drive.

Any aftermarket ecu should be able to give you a good tune. The difference between them will be things like ease of use, fineness of adjustment (number of mapping points) computing power, useful life etc. A grunty top shelf ecu will be able to give a super tune - any ecu should be able to provide an adequate tune. If its giving you a crap tune then blame the tuner - in other words find another one. He should be able to make it run properly and tell you if anything is needed to make it run better - e.g. new afm, bigger injectors.

+1

hell, once mine is tuned next friday on the dyno (AEM F/IC-8 & S15 injectors) I'll be toying with the tune myself, laptop

will fit a lambda sensor + guage, and road tune to buggery

=)

You guys know this how? Ive had my car on the dyno for close to 6 hours and only got it partially tuned. The M35 ecu is a lot more complex than you think, and since it controls the throttle, it has ultimate control, even though the Emanage controls injectors and spark.

If its so easy, why hasnt it been done yet?

its because its a copgy-back and they are never as good as a full remap. i THINK with a ksrom,gzone blah blah + emanage or a decent copgy back will be the best IMO.

well, frankly, from ALL research, the AEM F/IC-8 is the best copgyback you can possibly buy, better than the emanage ultimate simply thru the sheer size of the tune scope.

ie 3 different overseeing controls, 22x17 pc mapping x 3, for air:fuel, ign.timing & injector duty.

get a remapped ecu and add in the F/IC-8 or a Emanage Ultimate (same price, emanage is widely known, but the f/ic seems pretty awesome - looks easy enough to self tune with the AEM Wideband kit)

and you'll be laughing !

currently with the remap S1 c34 + safc/sitc got 240rwkw, not a bad tune at all... but with the remap s1 c34 + f/ic-8 copgyback + s15 injectors I expect a much better result.

throw on a wideband kit, save the logs of your drive, and tune to your hearts content :(

Yerrp remap for sure! no need to have all this other copgy back business going on.

if my gtr's motor wasnt near completion i'd buy that m35 tomorrow at pickles. and go thru the process of doing it..

i think i'm about to get buttt raped ;)

Agreed... IF you live in Sydney... and IF you are not modding after the remap!

(unless back and forth interstate trips sound enjoyable)

I wouldnt mind if the price was right. I would still run the emanage for fuel adjustment and multiple maps. Of course I dont think they were looking at the throttle issue were they?

Sounds like the best setup for we "Mexican's"

Don't think is was well known then... but I am sure SAS will be made aware of it.

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
