Hey guys,

I thought I would start a dedicated thread for this question instead of hijacking my own build thread.

We are building a Sports Sedan and have an RB power plant we are building for 500+rwkw.

Question is...... Haltech or Motec?

Already have The Haltech PS2000 and Racepak Dash.

But some people have been saying go Motec at this stage.

Thoughts?

Money is definitely an object!!!

But I just don't want to skimp on such an important part of the engine package. Sounds like Haltech is the go from what ! am hearing though!

I personally don't like motec because every time I have anything to do with them they give me the shits. But if you want to look to the future running fly buy wire throttle has a world of advantages over mechanical throttle. Motec will run this well haltec not. That's just one advantage. Motec will also work with haltec dash just takes a bit of work

Haltech have just announced a new ECU that has fly by wire support, but not sure if it does traction control. The motec has more features, but are they features that you are going to use? They will both control the engine the same

Have a look at Syvecs, I'm running the S8 on my 34 GTR street car

http://www.syvecs.co.uk/

They where the first and are the most used stand alone on the R35 GTR and the ECU that comes with the alpha kit

Just another option

Did you wire in or make a patch loom up??

the single greatest advantage of a Motec, is they're exceptionally updateable.

my tuner bought his Motec in 2001, and he just gets an email from Motec saying updates are available, he says yes and gets them via email,

so his 15yo ECU is on par with a current M800

I would love a Motec, but can't justify the extra few thousand that is needed to go that way.

Do yourself a favor and look at KV8 EMTRON, we have just finished a Sports Sedan (recent championship winner) with one. Unrivalled input output count, real traction control and launch control not just a listed minimal feature. Its well known in serious motorsport circles as of late.

in built 3 axis accelerometer

dual CAN

on board dual 4.9 wideband

on board dual knock

fly by wire

auto blip

auto change etc

16 aux out

14 analogue inputs

12 digital inputs

Just an unbiased suggestion, we tune and fit everything with Haltech elite being my preferred solution for everything except full race stuff as it is not quite fully featured yet... give it a year or so and no doubt all the features will be released and it will be comparable. With the haltech you also dont have anywhere enough input outputs without buying a lot of expansion CAN products.

We are looking at EMTRON as the premium product that was reserved for MOTEC customers in the past... the EMTRON is fully featured out of the box so NO need to PAY to UNLOCK.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
