I've heard that the Mines ECU that came with some R33 gtst from Japan have their injectors maxed out so during tuning, they can get a little more power than most cars. If I were to change the injectors to a larger capacity one using the same ECU with the SAFC2 to tune will that be possible?

I'm interested to know how feasible it is............and please, don't tell me to get a powerfc, I'm only asking for the sake of satifying my curiosity. If it's not going to work then, obviously a powerfc would be on the list

yeah i know you can't tune the injectors with the safc, I don't actually know how the injectors are controlled, just wanted to know if leaving the computer on "maxed out" setting and just using the safc to control other stuff will it work or crash and burn?

mines do not tune their ecus to max out their injectors. Simply and utterly incorrect.

An safc can be used to play with afrs a little bit, but not to the extent that larger injectors require.

A friend of mine is developing a way to remap the r33 ecus easily. The solution won't be released, but he might look into doing it for other people too. stay tuned.

I think if your gonna come on here and tell all fustrated people with r33s that their ecu can be released but some greedy bastard wants to make a killing off it first before releasing any clues as to how... then thast just uncool.

Hes asking if its possible.

simplest answer would of been "no" yeah?

I have a auto R33 with a remapped R33 ECU

THE BEST MONEY I HAVE EVER SPENT

powerplayimports in sydney do them they send them over to a nismo engineer in japan

i have 280kw at the wheels

Um yeah works fine......... :thumbsup:

Dont think a Factory ECU isnt as good as a aftermarket one they are FAR FAR better the smarts that are in a factory ECU are amazing (U have to remember they spent ALOT of money in R&D on these things)

Just get it remapped to your needs they have race cars with 1000hp using Factory ECU's

Hope this helps

Why get it remapped from japan if you buy different upgrades for your car that affects performance... Who cares if you can get it remapped in japan, it would only be suitable for people that would knowingly not spend a single cent on their skyline... thats about 0.02 percent of people registered on this forum...

what you just said is not even coherent

I have spent ALOT of money on my skyline hence why I did not flinch in getting the BEST ECU upgrade for a auto that i could buy they remapped a factory ECU to my EXACT specifications by a nismo engineer, It wasn't cheap but it is PERFECT, also I dont see the need to change major components every second Tuesday I Just did it once probably.

That makes so much more sense to me.

do it once do it right.

Not only that but the factory ECU has So much scope left in it. I can still change bits and the ECU can handle it up to a degree until I need to remap it. A factory ECU can handle quite a degree of mods on a standard skyline let alone a ECU with all the restrictions removed and re-calibrated for Our fuel level of mods and driving temperatures. Nissan and Nismo spent unbelievable amounts of money tuning ECU on these cars why not use the smarts.

A powerFC is great if you have a manual and you have a good local tuner and you are willing to get re-tuned every time you change anything or summer /winter etc, My ECU takes it all in its stride and works it all out in real time.

I suppose it depends on your situation and much time you want throw at your car. I want my car to be perfect all the time, just like the factory built it. I simply don't have the time to muck around with it every weekend (I'm kinda over all that)

My Motto is

Decide want you want

and do it ONCE

don't muck around.

You will much more happier in the long term.

My 2 cents

Some people are not in the financial obligation of doing such a thing. they would rather tune at certain points in the car's life so screw the hassle of sending your ecu to japan each time you do a change... What happens if you need to upgrade your turbo, or you need to change somehting else on your car and you do so while your ecu is in japan or striaght after you get your ecu back?

There is no one in Australia that will remap the 33 ECU at the moment therefore this method is bad for alot of people apart from you.

Granted also if you have a manaul or a manulised auto you wouldn't even consider the factory ECU track POWERFC IT!!

but i really wanted a auto skyline that hammers and drives really nicely.

It comes down to what you want from your Skyline really.

Its certinanly not for everyone thats for sure I was in the forntuate postion that I could pull off the extent of my modifactions in one hit.

it did save me alot of money in the long term tho.

and as I said the factory ECU can cope with a remarkable change without needing to be remapped. its just the nature of the beast.

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
