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.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
