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

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.

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.

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 !

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
