Hi guys,

i got a quote from Jem in ingleburn for $2650 to install and tune Haltech ultimate pro in my r33 gtst. I am getting rid of the air flow meter

and the old setup with emange. i do have stage 2 modifications and just want some opinion. Even better a group install to reduce the cost.

Thanks

Every car is slightly different, so whatever you get quoted could quite possibly be very different to what someone else will be quoted due to mods, condition of car (will any other work be required to make sure it's running at its best before and after the tune), accessories fitted (different injectors, fuel pumps, surge tanks, etc.).

gts-t -> i wouldn't bother with the haltech unless you have a stupid amount of power or are extremely anal about your fuel/air ratio. Buy a power FC or link G4 ( i have one that im willing to part with :-) ).

It will save you money and much more people are around to dyno tune them.

Power FC is good, but Haltec is better in most ways. Hower from reading this forum and my own experiance Haltech do tend to be a little picky if you have electrical issues (one unit will work fine in one car but in another it can become more difficult).

I would not buy a power FC if you want to remove AFM's though. The basic model does not allow it and the dejetro can apparently be a pain to tune and costs as much as a new Haltech/Vipec.

Don't pay stupid amounts of money for this stuff unless you are going for a full house drag engine.

I have an RB25DET in my HR31 and have just had a Z32/Nistune installed and dyno tuned for $800. Picked up another 30Kw and it has everything you need for a full motor upgrade.

Uses the AFM though. I agree it would be nice to get rid of it but not for another $2000!

What's wrong with the AFM? What's so stupid about it? I prefer AFM tuning over MAP because you don't have that untunable spot between -ve and +ve manifold pressure. If you don't run silly useless BOVs I can't see why the AFM is such a problem. Even so, you can easily compensate for it with the fuel deceleration adjustment.

I just paid $1500 - Instal and tune Haltech Sports 2000 from scratch. Zip programming on the unit.

That's in the ACT so your being ripped.

Appologies if that is purchase, install and tune - then it's an awesome price.

It WILL be purchase and install as i have a quote for the PS2000 completely wired into my R34 with wideband and tune and its not much more than the pricing above...

JEM are one of the best Haltech tuners around and if you want a premium job that you will be happy with i suggest you spend the money once and do it right.

I had a Power FC and had no issues with it but ditched it in favour for the Haltech due to the mods and E85 etc... But for most road cars a Power FC will do the job fine.

I have done so much research on ECU's lately and all seem to have heaps of PROS and not many CONS, but it all depends on the application you want it for i guess.

The guys at JEM have done a few mates cars now and will be doing mine and a couple of others very soon, we drive 3hrs just to get there simply because they are so helpful, pricing is good and they have an awesome reputation.

Adam is one of the best when it comes to Haltech from everything i've been told and the mates that have gone have been REALLY happy :cheers:

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
