hey guys

dont think iv posted in here before so a hello to everyone !!

at the moment im doin the usual searchin for parts and tryin to plan out everything, money, turbo, ecu and time..

ecu side of things iv decided to go with a emanage ultimate (if pfc doesnt pop up by then) just curious to know people's experiance with tuners in QLD..

i havnt had any tuning done before so new to this side of things (done most other things)

in a nut shell i just want to know where the best place is to get my tune? who has experiance with the new emange?

mercury comes straight to mind same with P.I.T.S down the coast but im more after the "best" tune

reason for this is im not sure who has played with the EMU before

im willing to travel not settle for whats closest !

any adivse or even anyone who is running one where did you get it tuned and were you happy

thanks for your time

Never been asked this question before...

Maby ask the distributor of Greddy in Australia "Who is the best" and see what they have to say???

But im sure Matt Spry tunes them, so Id be talking to him as he is also know as "Tuning God" in some circles... :D

yeah thats what i thought everyone ranks he very highly

i figure fork out once on a tune that is worth more than another and be happy, no point spending all the money if nothing is doin its part, plus i wanna try get the plug n play harness to save any troubles, apparently only problems ever caused were by wiring fault

thanks

If your after the best tune and willing to travel have a small holiday and get your car tuned at CRD

Yeah they are actually sponcers of the forums also, you can contact them via pm CLICK HERE.

They may also have an idea of a place more local...?

Any updates on this subject?

I've just picked up a emanage ultimate for a good price.

Looking to get it installed and would like 2 tunes (one for the daily driving).

Matt Spry would be my first choice, but I haven't spoken to anyone yet.

Would he be the one to do the install as well? R34 GTT has to be wired, no PnP :)

Im going to be getting an emanage ultimate in the next month or so as well - also interested to know of people's experiences with local tuners.

I know a guy who had this system and found it not very flexible to tune, he didnt like it so pulled it out and got a power fc.

a couple of things;

1) The PFC is everyone's 1st choice, but they don't make them anymore (for the 34 GTT) and if you can find one, the price is crazy.

2) emanage Blue vs emanage Ultimate. The earlier Blue seems to give a lot of people trouble! but after speaking to a few people at SEMA, I'm thinking the Ultimate will be ok for what I want.

There doesn't seem to be many 34 GTT in QLD with an EMU... I was hoping to get some more feedback from someone local.

I'm not 100% sure where he is, but his details will be on here somewhere!

i didnt think about the part with the Gtt not being able to use power fc, there are other alternatives like a haltec,Motec or EMS.

Yeah thats fair enough about the emu and the blue.I think the guy i kow had the blue emanage .

Matty is in Molendular near gold coast not far off broad beach, cant find his other details off the top of my head but im certain that more than one person will have them.

correct me if im wrong .. but the EMU and emange blue are all piggy back systems not a standalone computer most you can get out of these are fuel and air mixtures similar to SAFC NEO but a lil better ?? plus for Boost control options you'll need to use the E01 which plugs into both the EM ECU ..

Hey Vish, yes both are piggyback systems, but the ultimate has a lot more options than just fuel & air. for the money I think it's a good option.

There's some good info here, but not much discussion on QLD installers/tuners

Ipswich is where its at. Signature performance is the joint, Mick is his name. 32815281 is his number.

Several members rides including my own have been tuned by Mick with very good results.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
