i got a haltech E11V2 in the GTR... should be able to get one fitted and tuned well under the 4 grand...

Thats the best looking option for GTR from what ive seen :)

Although in saying that, i use Microtech LT-12s currently and after its tuned properly, no problems from it

There are heaps of options out there, like Paul said, there's a million PowerFC's out there, have a look for the DJetro version before buying the normal one though, they dont use AFM's so you can take one possible problem out of the car :)

Hope that helps

bump has anyone heard of the ems tuning systems thinking about ordering one today

Don't order _anything_ based on the opinion of some unknown Internet person.

Unfortunately, everyone on the Internet has an opinion (and many of those are wrong).

Now ignore the above advice and read on :P

I'd do it the other way - select a tuner, have a chat with them, decide whether they are

who you want to tune your car. Once you know which tuner you want to use, find out

what they recommend and are comfortable with... and purchase that.

I think it's a myth there is 'plenty of powerfc around' .. I'm not sure whether it's right to be saying that, when it may be true (installed in cars), but trying buying one right now!

I can barely see any that have been put up for sale in the last month or so, therefore that doesn't make them 'readily available' to me.. they will become rare and expensive over the next few years, unless something better comes along.

GET A V500 WOLF. DEFINATELY ONE OF THE BEST IMO ONE OF MY NOYZ WORKS AT RANK ROTARY IN VICTORIA AND HIS BOSS IS LIKE ONE OF THE LEADING WOLF TUNERS.

IT HAS WAY MORE TUNING POINTS THAN A POWER FC IT BEEN COMPARED TO MOTEC SYSTEMS AS WELL. THEY ARE f**kING EXPENSIVE BUT DEFINATELY WORTH THE WAD OF CASH THAT U WILL BE DEPARTING WITH

So in comparing a WOLF to a Motec you would be under the impression that it has accurate control of four camshafts along with electronic throttle control? I'm not a big fan of either managment systems but I know where to draw the line. And tuning points has little to do with tuning accuracy.

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
