Hi I've got an r33 gtst s2. I have done a fue mods to my care from suspension breaks through to the engine which is where I need help. I have upgraded the coil packs, inter cooler, pod, turbo timer electronic boost controller and a new upgrade turbo to the car. I'm wondering if I should now do the computer and if so what to go for. My budget is limited as I've blown the bank ont the rest of the mods any ideas. I've tried doing a tone of research but keep coming up with all different things

This has been covered a bazillion times and I should tell you to search and/or read the stickies. Nevertheless....

Easiest is to buy a PowerFC. Next easiest is to get a Z32 ECU modded with Nistune to suit R33. After that there are various aftermarket ECUs that come in plug in form.

If you really want to bump the power you're going to run out of injector and AFM capacity, so you'd need to upgrade those. AFM only needed with PowerFC and Nistune, otherwise you convert to MAP sensing.

You need ay least $1500 to start this exercise. Got to buy the ECU, get it fitted and tuned. Injectors and AFM upgrades will cost more than another grand, and you will want to upgrade the fuel pump probably even before you have to do those (old std fuel pumps are just waiting to diw and kill your engine, especially when you wind up the boost).

For budget, contact Toshiba on this forum. He will be able to do a mail order remap for your mods at cheap price.

Username = toshi (unless he's changed it). You'd still want to do a dyno run after just to make sure it doesnt ping. Toshi has to make his remaps on the assumption that all the components in your car are working normally, if they're not you may find that while it wasn't a problem with the super conservative factory tune, it is a problem with the remap. Also, the remap tune can never be as good as a proper dyno tune, however, it will be way better than the factory tune.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov

      That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu.

      Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
