no point tuning your car 2x times.

i know for tuning safc its like $150-$250, i would guess retuning stock ecu would be more like tuning something like a pfc so you will be looking at $400-$450 (just a guess)

And if you retune your stock ecu then there is no point in getting an safc.

safc is a band-aid , quick fix, retuning stock ecu is just as good as getting a full ecu

Cheers michael

if you plan on getting injectors, depends how large you go, the safc may not be the best opinion, as i know you can run larger injectors but the larger you go the harder it becomes to get it to work right. Also safc does not do timing which if you plan on going further with your mods you want to be able to adjust the timing through the revs etc

Althou if you buy the safc and get it tune with what you have now (so safc cost $200 + $150 tune), and changed ur mind later on you should be able to sell the safc for $200 and you just lose out on the cost of your tuning which isn't too much.

safc should be ok to do that but you won't get the best out of your setup :thumbsup: as its only a quick fix...

unfortunately powerfc for r32 are hard to come by (need to get the AP type) so there is no real cheap full after market ecu for r32 :cheers: so maybe a retune of the stock ecu might be your best shot! Their is alot of heavy mod. cars going around with just a retune stock ecu (for example there is a 9sec gtr in japan running stock retune ecu)

Cheers Michael

according to this lumpy is no longer tuning outside of autronic and special stuff

http://www.westdrift.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1176

"Yes, it is true than i am not tuning for the general public anymore.

The only work I do in this area is with regards to support/supply/install/tuning of Autronic products, for which I am the dealer in WA, and I am also getting heavily into the data acquisition side of things.

The push towards a greater profile in professional motorsport occupies me these days, with 50% of my time spent interstate and some overseas stuff not too far away, with the management and ongoing development of the Slide-FX Pty Ltd drift racing team and it's in-house projects taking up what's left.

Thanks to all for the wishes and previous custom."

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
