Hehe i wish i had money to burn Paul, but im only trying to find the best option... i would prefer a new ECU rather a 2nd hand one... So far the best new pice i found for a PFC is $1200 with h/c + gotta gut a Z32 AFM $350 then $450 for tune = $2000 so by going EMS Stinger ill be saving $200...

There is an LT12 with plug in adaptor for $1100 on these forums.

Install is free, cause it has the plug. Tunes for microtech are usually under $450. My full tune was $300 with a very good tuner.

You are looking at $1500 all up and don't need to worry about AFM.

Thats a better option, as its $300 cheaper than your first idea, also is built for 6cyls.

I have heard some bad things about Microtech... and i would prefer to stick with an ECU that my tuner is confident in... that wat ill get the best possible tune for my car..

Thanks

Yeah fair call. Stick with your tuner for sure!

If you are trying to save money though, I'd find a tuner that was happy with microtech.

I have gone from stock to Microtech's in TWO cars. Both cars felt like different machines after the full tune. Idle was mint, mid range was so strong and response was improved heaps.

Don't worry about the new LT series microtech's, any tuner who knows what they are doing with one, will give you a smooth result, fit for a track or dailey driven car.

As you say tho, if you like your tuner, he says EMS, I'd stick with it for sure.

Tuners option FTW!

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
