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!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
