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...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
