Hey guys,

I am keen to get a new ecu for my r34 GT-T Skyline, I was thinking of getting a Haltech Platnium Sport 1000, but I have also been looking at the cheaper option of Nistune and maybe a piggyback ecu. My maximum power figure that I would be aiming for would be 300kw eventualy. I have done a fair bit of work with standalone ecu's before, so I am tending that way. I am just looking for something that may be simpler and cheaper but will still do what i need it too, the Greddy Emanage seems to be a good option.

Thanks Joel

Nistune

Trent sent u a pm a lil while ago regarding emu/vman.

Do you have much expirence with vmanage..?

yeah, kinda pointless on alot of cars, the evos get good gains though.

Trent - by any chance has you tried E85 on a 1jz with the EMU? looking at doing it on my soarer cause we get 2 E85 servos here in the ACT this month and I have the Emanage lying around.

I still want to be able to run 98 so trying to figure out the best compromise of injectors that are big enough for upto the 300rwkw mark on E85 yet still be able to control the injectors with the EMU, The car is Auto so no chance of being able to use a real ECU :thumbsup:

yeah its fine but you MUST wire up the coolant temp sensor as its needs lots on temp comp for cold start.

Thanks, was going to use the plug in loom to save hacking up the factory loom.

Im guessing it needs a bucket load more fuel when cold over factory.

yup.

Reckon factory 2jz 440's will be enough for the standard turbo's there is a set going cheap I can get my hands on.

Thinking I really should get some big ones straight up to make sure I have enought fuel for the future.

While Im thinking of it, would rb25 injectors fit the 1jz fuel rail, the plugs are different but thats an easy fix, asking cause I have set of high flowed 25det squirters sitting in the garage.

440's will be fine on petrol, they will see more power than your stock turbos can muster up. no chance on e85 though

and how cheap is cheap? they can be had regularly for $150...

aboot $100 bucks, I was more thinking just for the mean time, but the effort involved in swapping them over and then havng to go it all over again when I up the boost means I doubt Ill grab them.

just worked it out, the 2jz 440's are only 19% larger so no go for e85 even now, need 550s minimum :P

oh well.

Wolf do a plug in for an auto soarer.

they do auto trans models.

are they preset will all the correct shift pressures and what not? if not the are no different to all other ecus.... all ecu's can run an auto if you know the solenoid switching and relevant input /outputs.

If it does thats pretty sweet, but i still wont touch them :D

They've done a fair few soarer auto's and most people are happy with how it comes pre-set. I like to take customers for a drive and customise the shifts to there driving style.

at what cost though, It wouldnt be free, and CBF spending 2K on a ECU plus 1500 to tune, then have to f**k around if the auto flares badly or shifts to early etc etc and at the cost per hour for workshop rates isnt cheap.

Cause there is no way you can program and auto box in a hour of cruising round the back streets.

    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
