I am looking for aftermarket ECU for my GTR, and I don't have any knowledge in tunning or setting ECUs, but some people mentioned MoTec makes the best ECUs in the market?

Can anyone give me advice for MoTec ECU system and their approximate price as well. Regards

Can anyone give me advice for MoTec ECU system and their approximate price as well. Regards

I have Motec M48Pro with all the fruit (wide band control, data logging, etc) and as already said Motec is probably the best of the aftermarket ECU's, with Autronic running a close second, IMHO. Mine is not used on a GTR tho.

Motec is not cheap, although I haven't checked their prices for a few years. One of the reasons Motec isn't cheap is that they charge for things the others include in the price. For example the price they give for the Motec model you buy is just that.....the price for the ECU. If you want a loom that's extra $$, sensors same. Then if you want wide band control you have to pay extra for that, etc, etc (all Motec ECU's have the full range of capabilities/options built-in, but to access them you have to pay the Motec fee and then they turn the option on by entering a code. It can end up adding up to many $$$, but there's no doubt about the quality.

Depending on what your planning to do, you might be better to look at a PFC, which is essentially plug-in and go, but if you need a Motec there's no doubt it'll do the job.

i will be going the m600 motec with logging and wideband....

Mainly because where i live i cant even get a response about he cars tuning.

from anyone... Not even here !!!

Not quite following you here.....you'll still need someone to tune the M600.

Not with the logging and wideband option. Its quite easy to do yourself with the motec Pro tuning option.

MoTeC have whats called a quick lambda function in their ECU's, It lets you create a map the holds your target lambda value, and essentially you drive the car, get someone to press the Q key on your laptop and the ECU will tune itself to the target air-fuel mix.

SydneyKid once tuned a mazda race car completely in 2 laps of bathurst using this setup.. Very cool stuff.

Not with the logging and wideband option. Its quite easy to do yourself with the motec Pro tuning option.

I know what quick lambda is - I've been using Motec for years. I'm not particularly interested in what someone did with a race car on a race track, it's a totally different thing to tuning a road car essentially from scratch on the road. Even Motec themselves recommend tuning the vehicle on a dyno and then fine tuning on the road.

thast exaclty why MattSR :D... of course it will need tweaks on installation but essentialy MattSR your were spot on with how my motec will run .. i have the money to do it now just gathering information and the right man to do it ....

Seems like a an expensive way to get rid of a topend miss and gather some more clean HP but it sure beats interviewing each mechanic thats guessing in my area .... A progressive upgrade for the gtr ......cant wait !

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
