Some people are not in the financial obligation of doing such a thing. they would rather tune at certain points in the car's life so screw the hassle of sending your ecu to japan each time you do a change... What happens if you need to upgrade your turbo, or you need to change somehting else on your car and you do so while your ecu is in japan or striaght after you get your ecu back?
There is no one in Australia that will remap the 33 ECU at the moment therefore this method is bad for alot of people apart from you.
Granted also if you have a manaul or a manulised auto you wouldn't even consider the factory ECU track POWERFC IT!!
but i really wanted a auto skyline that hammers and drives really nicely.
It comes down to what you want from your Skyline really.
Its certinanly not for everyone thats for sure I was in the forntuate postion that I could pull off the extent of my modifactions in one hit.
it did save me alot of money in the long term tho.
and as I said the factory ECU can cope with a remarkable change without needing to be remapped. its just the nature of the beast.

Why get it remapped from japan if you buy different upgrades for your car that affects performance... Who cares if you can get it remapped in japan, it would only be suitable for people that would knowingly not spend a single cent on their skyline... thats about 0.02 percent of people registered on this forum...
what you just said is not even coherent
I have spent ALOT of money on my skyline hence why I did not flinch in getting the BEST ECU upgrade for a auto that i could buy they remapped a factory ECU to my EXACT specifications by a nismo engineer, It wasn't cheap but it is PERFECT, also I dont see the need to change major components every second Tuesday I Just did it once probably.
That makes so much more sense to me.
do it once do it right.
Not only that but the factory ECU has So much scope left in it. I can still change bits and the ECU can handle it up to a degree until I need to remap it. A factory ECU can handle quite a degree of mods on a standard skyline let alone a ECU with all the restrictions removed and re-calibrated for Our fuel level of mods and driving temperatures. Nissan and Nismo spent unbelievable amounts of money tuning ECU on these cars why not use the smarts.
A powerFC is great if you have a manual and you have a good local tuner and you are willing to get re-tuned every time you change anything or summer /winter etc, My ECU takes it all in its stride and works it all out in real time.
I suppose it depends on your situation and much time you want throw at your car. I want my car to be perfect all the time, just like the factory built it. I simply don't have the time to muck around with it every weekend (I'm kinda over all that)
My Motto is
Decide want you want
and do it ONCE
don't muck around.
You will much more happier in the long term.
My 2 cents

I have a auto R33 with a remapped R33 ECU
THE BEST MONEY I HAVE EVER SPENT
powerplayimports in sydney do them they send them over to a nismo engineer in japan
i have 280kw at the wheels
Um yeah works fine.........
Dont think a Factory ECU isnt as good as a aftermarket one they are FAR FAR better the smarts that are in a factory ECU are amazing (U have to remember they spent ALOT of money in R&D on these things)
Just get it remapped to your needs they have race cars with 1000hp using Factory ECU's
Hope this helps

Hello All
I have just got my car Back from Powerplay Imports
What can I say, My options have been very limited because i have a AUTO.
My car drives and performs the way i always wanted.
Around town you would swear is was completly stock apart from mild exhaust note.
poke it will a stick and it just hammers.
I did a time 0-100 klms 2 people both 90-100kGS each, left it in d for dumb kept the air con on and everything, i timed it with my RSM 5.1 seconds in a auto......... Ilike it lot.
I have absolutly nothing to do with Powerplay. I cant tell you enough about the high professionlisim and excellent workmanship.
AUTO drivers out there, get your factory ECU remapped its SO MUCH better than dodgy piggy back ecu's.
The Auto drives just perfect, no other word for it. this probably seems like a shameless plug but at last i'm impressed with a import tuning shop.
they are not the cheapest, but if you wanted the cheapest you would buy a kia or a dihatsu.
My car finaly hammers the way I want and I can get my 18' 265 to light up with a stab of the throttle
I'm in skyline heaven..
Thanks Joanne and Tosh
u guys rock

he is running a bigger turbo... there is probably nothing wrong at all.
@ 10psi his bigger turbo is more than likely moving more air, spinning out the ECU more than yours.
I wouldnt worry about the figure at all.
Get an SAF-C II onto it and go from there
Actually you are right on the money the more airflow is maxing out the ECU
I have pretty much decided to get my factory ECU remapped when the nismo injectors turn up that way i dont have to dick around with splicing looms and such and everything will work smiko i'm hoping for 230 to 240 rwkw fingers crossed and it will still look factory i'll keep everyone posted.
Thanks for pointing me to that e-manage thread mad34 and the factory ECU IS the way to go.CEF11E cheers mate its gunna save a lot of heartache

Hello All
I have a 1995 GTS-t RB25DET Auto
with th following mods
3'' full exhaust with dump pipe
GCG 450hp Hi flow Turbo
Pod Filter
Hybrid FMIC
Splitfire Coils
FCD
10 PSi Boost
18 degrees timing
My tuner cant seem to get much more then 210hp at the wheels
my ecu is doing the Rich and Retard thing its driving me nuts
What is my options for a ECU for the AUTO or do i go for a full ecu and do a manual conversion.
I would prefer to keep the Auto cause its nice to drive (my missus has to drive it too....with kids....)
I was hoping with startard injectors to hit 250-300hp at the wheels
but it seems that the damm ecu wont let me.
I have been searching the forums for weeks trying to find a clear cut answer to no avail.
Guys i know someone out there can help me
no matter what it still has to retain drivibilty.
HELLLLLLLLLLLLP!

Guys Guys Guys
I have read so much in the forum about Power figures I think it is quite strange that noone has done there homework on this
A stock GTS-t R33 makes 180-185kw at the flywheel which equates to a LOT less at the wheels.
A stock car will make approxx 120-130 HP at the wheels which is 88-95kw at the wheels. This I know because i have seen my car which was completly stock when i bought it and in fantasic condition and i have gone down the road of modifacation.
My car has now produced 210 HP at the wheels which equates to 154kw which is starting to become a nice street car I have a Hiflow Turbo coming and a SAFC tune on the way. I completly fail to see how the figures that you guys are talking 200rwkw with a stock dump pipe I cant help but feel that this is a crock of shit 200kw equates to 271hp
Which u JUST CANT GET with a stock dump PIPE I had to go for a aftermarket dump pipe when i hit 185-190 hp at the wheels. I think someone is telling porky's
I will probably get flamed for this.
Guys if you think i'm talking crap Google the standard power figures and make your conclusion.

Please Help
I have a 95 R33 GTS-t AUTO Skyline with the following mods
3"inch Turbo Back Exhaust
Hybrid Intercooler
Malpassi Rising rate fuel regulator
Turbosmart dual stage boost controller
Apexi RSM and SAFC2
18" rims with HSD coilovers
My problem is I have had a tuner do the tune on a dyno when the SAFC2 was not fitted when it was fitted the car runs quite badly leaning out and very rich all over the place the Tuner cannot tune with the SAFC2 because he does not understand it. Where can i get someone who knows what they are doing with a SAFC2 and willing to work out my tuning issues. i have bypassed the SAFC2 and now car runs quite well on the factory ECU. however i have a GCG hiflow turbo coming and i will need to find a tuner when it is fitted.
Please can anybody help me I have cash and will pay I just need somebody who knows what they are doing.
I am based in Rockhampton Queenland and willing to travel anywhere in the state. I am incredibly frustrated by the lack of expertise in my region.
