rd-runr: does ur kit include the harness which does not require the cutting of wires?

i run advan today and they dont seem to have it =?

can i ask where you picked urs up from?

also, can anyone tell me if i will get any gains from just plugging the system in? do i have to take it to a workshop to tune straight away? considering the user is car illiterate

also, if i dont intend to ever touch the tuning part, do i still need the support tools?

ECL, as far as I know the plug and play harness isn't available for GTS or GTT, just GTR...I think this may be related to the coil-pack frying issue. For some reason GReddy still haven't modded the harness with diodes or anything??? The software update also doesn't prevent damage while the car is running.

May be due to the release of the series 2 E-mange, they can't be bothered sorting the bugs out of the old one?

Hi I'm really new, only got my R32 GTR two days ago, but have been looking into S-AFC's for a while and used to have a Microtech LT8 on a GT4.

One question I have about an interceptor ECU argument is...

Wouldn't an 89 model ECU have a lessor processor than a 2005 ECU?

I have never really looked at the specs on such things, but surely with home PC's having 100x processing power of 15year old ones, it would be similar to car ECU's and wouldn't the speed that the ECU reacts to events aid in better engine management?

To further this how much processing is done in the intercepting ECU before the output to the standard ECU for processing? No one seems to talk about this, is that because this isn't an issue to worry about at all?

ps - S-AFC still looks cheaper and sexier, I still want one, hehe

Sorry guys,

First time back on the forums in 2 months. To cut a long story short, I've moved states at short notice and am now officially broke.

Anyway, I haven't had a chance to plug the emanage in yet. Will do when I'm cashed up for a dyno tune.

The full kit can be bought from AutoBarn. Get the salesperson to ring up the warehouse in Melbourne (or Adelaide?) to make sure that it is the kit which plugs straight in without needing anything to be rewired. My kit is for the R33.

GReddy claim that you MAY notice a difference in power when plugged straight in as the base maps are apparently altered for each car, but I'm assuming that this is for a stock engine.

To get the most out of the Emanage, it will need to be tuned. If you plan to do this yourself, then you will need the software ie. support tools. Or you could make friends with someone who has it and save yourself some money. If you intend to get it tuned by a workshop, find someone with experience tuning the Emanage and they should already have the software.

The choice is yours!

People People People,

I'm only new to this forum but it is killing me to hear you speak of the emanage as a quality engine managment interceptor. To answer a few questions yes you can tune it for larger injectors to a small degree. This involves mapping of the MAF sensor so as to say there is a smaller amount of fuel being ingested. This may work quite well for the slightly larger injectors but going over say 550cc in any rb and your really kidding yourself with drivability. Factors such as injector latency come into effect with larger injector and this is some thing that emange has no idea about. And yes you can tune for cruise with interceptor ecus to a degree.

Another problem with piggyback systems is if you have variable valve timing, as all the piggy back does is intercept the crank trigger and alter the signal back to the computer. Therefore if you increase the timing at a particular point say 10 degrees then the cam timing will be 10 degrees advanced which means the peak valve lift and duration might be at an undesirable point.

You are better off having the standard ecu re-mapped for the injectors in use. The standard ecu is the best engine management for any car and any engine as these companies have spent millions upon millions calibrating sensors any writting code for every type of enigne condition that the ecu will see.

I've been looking for a car specific harness to allow the emanage to plug straight in without splicing any wires but can only find them for GTR's. How much was the harness that Autobarn were selling rd-runr? And was it for an R33 GTR or GTST?

"Oh no it's the cops!"

"Worse, the police cops!"

It was a kit with the emanage and harness together. I didn't buy it separately but I'm sure you probably could. The kit I got is for R33 gtst (ecr33). To see if there is a harness for your car go back through this thread a couple of pages to find a link to a silvias forums site regarding this issue. On there you will find a list of cars which the harness is available for.

Rob82: From what I've gathered, r33 ecus are unchippable! I don't doubt that Autobarn have shit all support. It doesn't bother me either as I will be relying on my tuner. Never said that the emanage was the shit. Just made a decision to give it a go as there is not much else which works well with autos.

Can you suggest anywhere in Brisbane that can do this kind of re-map/tune? I drive an sr20det 180sx btw.

I work for chiptorque down at the coast. I would suggest you bring it there as we are the only people in Aus that can reprogram the factory ECU as far as I am aware. Tell me more about it so I can give you the approximate gains.

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
