i'm currently looking into getting an aftermarket ecu for my '94 r33 gtst. I don't really want to spend anything more than $2000. My mod's are fairly mild - exhaust, FMIC, pod filter. I realise that it really depends on what the tuner is used to. I was looking into possibly getting either a haltech e8, EMS, e-manage/e-manage ultimate, apexi SAFC or link G3. Anyone had much experience with these? I need the ecu to have an in-built boost controller, and be able to pass emissions tests for engineers certification. Finally, can someone recommend a workshop in sydney, preferrably round the northern beaches?

One day I might upgrade turbo, injectors, fuel pump etc, but that's as far as I will ever take it.

Well I would be touching the EMS or the link personally. SAFC wont cut the mustard and the haltech is semi seqential when used on 6 or 8 cylinder so I wouldnt use one either. Nothing wrong with semi seq injection but there is better options. The E11v2 is a better haltech but more expensive obviously.

The emanage is great and Id recommend it. The power FC is more than proven time and time again.

Im not a not a big fan of the software used to tune the EMS or the Link. Hence I dont use them. The SAFC is a rude thing to tune with and really should not be considered amongst the other ECU's your considering.

Cheers for your input. Power FC's were originally my first choice, but are very to get hold of, or are selling for very inflated prices. At the moment I'm leaning towards e-manage ultimate. Got quoted $1500 for installation and tune at croydon racing developments.

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
