Hey james, it's karl here. It's damn easy to change over just discharge your battery and unplug the old ecu. It's a big retangular connection. Unscrew the screw that holds the standard ecu in it's cubby, and slide it out. Slide the new one in and hey presto. Also you'll oviously be getting the r32 gtr powerfc and they come with a map already on them for the specific model of car.

They do come with a map already on them so you can just plug it in and drive. But the map is for jap fuel and in alot of cases people do the same thing and plug it in straight away and your car will run stupidly rich and can cause your plugs to foul straight away.

the best thing to do is get a tuner to do it straight away.

keep in mind a decent fc tune will set you back between 400-500 bucks.

mmm, unfortunateley i might have to have my engine rebuilt :P i took it out for a drive today to go and order new brake pads and i noticed sum noise coming from the engine area...like a clunking. took it for a drive again a bit later and then there was like a tinging. both around the point of boost...can sumone help!!!

This sounds like an Ultratune ad.

umm.. on the hand controller, you should watch the knock readings!!

low octane fuel, excessive boost [untuned] and f**king hot days will make your car knock severe!!

if you can actually hear it thats bad, dont drive it! lower your boost!

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
