hey ppls

im looking at getting a 33 gtr with some type of microtech piggyback device installed. The wiring at the connector has been hacked up alittle and its still got the stock ecu. Im just wondering though if i just put a powerfc in and turn off the microtech (if u can) will it all work ?? or will i need to fix up the fixing and totaly disable the microtech ??

also i think its running on the MAP sensor ??? cause the AFM's werent plugged in.. does that sound right the piggyback ecu could use a map sensor ??? i wouldnt of thought so... ? how would it be working if the afm's werent connected to the electrical connectors ??

thanks :thanks:

yes a microtech will run a map sensor.

and why would u want to unplug the microtech and use a power FC? it will do the same job if not better i would assume.... y bother pulling a workin after market computer setup 2 plug in another? i mean a PFC $800 worth + install when u have a running microtech sounds like money down the drain 2 me....

Depends on the tuner you want to use... and as i know his choice, i reckon its a good move.

It also sounds like its only a 'interceptor' type ECU set-up with the factory ECU still there.

So best to get the unknown out, and the well-known in IMO.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
