Hey guys/girls,

Does anyone know where i can purchase an aftermarket ECU system for an R34 RB25DE, either GReddy E-Manage or something similar?

My car is a non-turbo now, but i am going down the conversion path soon, so i wanted something that i could use now to get the most out of my NA, and then when i get the turbo it can be retuned.

Thing is wherever i look, people only seem to be selling them for 33's or GTR's. So would they be the same for 33's and 34's? I thought they had different looms, etc...

Also, what wiring harnesses would i need to get? Damn things get real confusing when youre trying to find out what you need.

And would it be worth getting the E-Manage Ultimate considering what im planning, or will Blue be suitable for my plans? Or if anyone has any other suggestions of ECU's...

Thanks for any help,

Martin

get an Apexi SAFC... great piggy back that can be used for turbo or NA and when you go turbo just retune it...

thing is, you can easily get rid of it if you want to get a more specific ECU ie. Power FC or Vipec but in the mean time if you don't have $1600 for an ECU the SAFC is great and any workshop can easily play with it

hope that helps mate

Yeh i had thought of the SAFC II, but i thought they were really only useful for changing afr?

Would SAFC be just as good as SAFC II? And where can i get one for an R34 RB25DE, as i said before, ive only found things for 33's and GTR's.

Maybe i will look into them some more, thanks for that man

Ok, i did a search and the SAFC has been discontinued, can only get the AFC Neo now, i assume that is what you have Levi? So it will fit just about any car? It only costs around $450, so i think i might get that if that is the case.

The AFC Neo would still be suitable for my current NA and later down the track the turbo?

Thanks for your help guys

SAFC's are a standard item and can be used across a large number of cars. I Have a SAFCII Neo in my R33 Turbo, was very cheap and only costs around ~$150 to tune.

It will only allow you to adjust AFR's, but in these low-power applications, it's more than good enough.

Dont go for the greddy e manage ultimate i have it in my car, hyperdrive found it to b a pain in the ass to tune, and ive heard these days noone wants to no about them, plus i was told when wanting more power that the ecu wouldnt handle it. also was told that nissans dont like them more sutiable for hondas etc. would def consider vipec if u got the cash

They definitely do Nistune for skylines.

It's R33 GTSt's that they can't really do (they can but they need to use an R32 ecu).

If they can do my Neo engined auto stagea then I don't see why they can't do non-turbo Neo'd 34.

Ring Hyperdrive, CRed or Allstar.

what is ur plan on ur car?

if you have big plan DITCH EMANAGE or any PIGGY BACK like SAFC is not worth it.

get a propper ecu, it cheap now days for Power FC 2nd hand.

emanage and safc is good only for small tuning, fixing AFR and up the boost by a LITTLE bit.

once you start getting bigger turbo, up to higher boost, changed injectors and soo oon, they cant do it any more, and it will shat it self and ruining your engine

i've blown 2 ENGINE on emanage and NEVER GO BACK any more ... Stand alone is the way!

ALLSTAR, RPW, HYPERDRIVE this the work shop that i went and talk about e-manage and THEY did not RECOMENDED to install on any car that Medium to Heavily modified. They will tune it for you but you will waste your money on the tuning as its TIME consuming and hard to TUNE E-manage to get it right, smooth graph and spot on + you wont get the results you want

for Stocker that wants 15-20 whp more yeah it will do it.

Plan for the car is to turbo-charge it either next year or the year after. I will only run small amounts of boost, ~7PSI until i get the R34 GTR. Then my current car will become my project and the GTR will be my daily. I plan to forge the internals, rebuild everything, and thats when i will upgrade to a larger turbo

    • FWIW a lot of the local owners that do a big build tend to have cars that are perpetually broken. 
    • I just got this system but haven’t installed yet I got a Moroso sealed box (defect reasons) which will be set up same as their pic The quality is high grade, the correspondence I had with the owner (former head designer for Rockford Fosgate) was unbelievable, guiding me with what I needed. Even told me not to buy some things as it could be sorted in a different way at his loss. Just a bit of a bite with the exchange rate and don’t purchase gear in 1 hit that goes over $1,000 au, lol I forgot!  
    • Thanks mate for that reply. Very helpful.    it’s a 2022 400R so would most likely lose those features as you say.     I did a quick compare of a rv37 nav and heading for sale in Japan to q50 model. I’ll pop pics below. Seems  Japan spec head into top, nav unit second below it   below pic Q50 aud delivered     differences seem to be Aus delivered has a different plug top left hand side of head unit- not sure what and where it goes.   and nav unit Japanese tv37 had an extra plug put    Again I’m really not sure what each of these differences mean!       the actual plugs on a v37 and q50 screens look identical on both screens… pics below for comparing. (One screen was is a us delivered one) but should be same gps signals etc as Australia.    If it were as simple as swapping a nav unit from q50 aud delivered im interested -just want to figure out what the missing plug is for before spending big $ on a second hand part for it to not work, and I guess with the head unit, if the band expander does the job (I got a 20mHz so should get the range I’m after) so should narrow my issue down to nav unit only.  I’d love to know what the extra cable on rv37 does and if I eliminate that part what it’ll do to the setup,    and also, if I can figure out what that head unit plug difference is, what does that cable do and where does it got can it be altered or re-plugged?! Excuse my ignorance what is ACP/AA, what does that stand for? (Apple car play? Android air play)? so If I swapped head units to save using a band expander, I’d likely lose those better features to have an oem Unit operational. Better to use a band expander and retain AirPlay options and newer version of head unit     provably best to band expand it, and focus on the nav unit. th isn’t  a big deal/ would be cool to have it working  from what I can tel we use a PAL Signal and Japan uses a NTSC signal  I don’t know if there’s a co better or if the screen only reads NTSC, or if it’s the tv module that needs replacing… no big deal don’t need it but more of a curiosity thing on that!   Thanks for the info re tyre sensors, helpful and great to know.  I was reading the online manual off Japan website and it seemed to make it sound more confusing than it is  I guess a rim replacement would require the sensors to be moved to a new rim to carry that option over?!     Thanks for the info regarding diagnostic mode. I appreciate your help mate. Trying to brainstorm here to find a solution to get as much gadgets as I can working! I plan to get my local Nissan tech to have a look too who used to be at an Infiniti dealer back in the day to see if any thing they have or idea can find a soliton. But hoping anyone here has gone down the same route to make life easier!!   i guess identifying the cable/plug differences and what they do would be a great way of finding out if the units are transferable    thanks again 
    • No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.
    • There is a known issue with the mix door motor on the Q50 which causes these symptoms, not sure if it is common on the Y51 though.
