Hey guys, i know the ECU debate has been discussed over and over and an ECU will only be as good as the tuner, however i have not found any info on the EMS 8860 in regards to the R33 RB25DET.

Here are my options with some prices that my tuner has advised (order of preference)

Haltech E11v2 - $2800 (supplied, fitted & tuned)

EMS 8860 - $2200 (supplied, fitted & tuned)

EMS Stinger 4 - $1800 (supplied, fitted & tuned)

Apexi PFC - $1700 + $350 Z32 AFM = $2050 (supplied, fitted & tuned)

Any info or comments will be appreciated

Regards,

Sarkis

Can you find me a new PFC with h/c for $1000? and Z32 for $200?

the quote i got:

PFC: $1200 (new)

Tune: $500

AFM: $350 (new)

One workshop quoted me $1000 but ex h/c

If you can please let me know and ill buy it today...

Any feedback on the EMS? they seem to be good

Cheers

Nengun dont sell the PFC for the R33 GTSt anymore... they have been discontinued

The Wolf V500 retails for $1,895.00 excluding harnes and tune

Wouldn't the Haltech be a better choice at that price?

ok sorry those prices i qouted were second hand here. theres nothing at all wrong with second hand power fcs and same with the z32 afm. but with the afm check ebay you can get new ones on there pretty cheap i think.

Yea Paul but thats too much stuffing around for me... i'd prefer to get the whole lot installed and tuned professionally... $1800 for an EMS stinger fully fitted and tuned sounds like the way to go...

Cheers

i know what i would do if it was my money

how many people can tune the EMS?

what features does it have?

map?

afm?

closed loop feedback?

what is the base map like?

does it have any form of hand control / user input/output device or is it software only?

is it a sequential ignition driver or batch fire?

wire in or plug n play?

I think that is cheap for supplied fitted and tuned. EMS are about the only computers I have heard more bad stories than good about tho.

Also, if you are going the Stinger option, its not really the best way to go, as it only has 4 injector drivers. I assume they will set it up the same way they setup Microtech LT8's for 6cyls.

It can be done, but its not the ECU meant for that application.

If you are comparing those prices, a microtech LT8 installed and tuned would be even cheaper.

Either way, I'd go for an ECU that is meant to run 6cyls.

What about the EMS 8860? it has 8 ignition drivers.... but for $2200... would rather spend bit more and get the Haltech... Buy if i can find a good buy for a PFC for GTST i would grab it...

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
