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.

    • Thank god. I thought I was the only one, nobody seems to mention this (cause nobody really goes this far in Sedan land). The car's track is 10mm wider at the rear, which explains why the rears sit a little further out for the same size wheels. There's not really many options in widebody land for sedans anyway - People will just use whatever came out of the box and then buy wheels/spacers to suit. To get it perfect you'll likely need custom wheels with custom offsets if you really want to get it perfect which is what I plan to do, but I also plan to utilize more of the inboard space for tyres at the rear... which is also something nobody ever seems to do.... OR my maths have failed me after 20,000 attempts and I'm about to make huge mistakes. 
    • What colour is that?  A mate of mine went red/black on his SLR5000 tribute recently also.  And yes, also glad to see this still progressing albeit slowly. 
    • found a company that makes a flat gauge face 3-d printed mounting base kit to eliminate the dished style gauges. if anyone else is looking to do the same https://www.dashfreaks.de/shop/flat-dials-holder-nissan-skyline-r34-gt-gtt/    
    • I installed my link ecu shortly after. But car ran fine with stock ecu and r35 coils, just had the traction control and slip lights on.
    • Try looking at Eibacb/H&R springs Thats what Gary sourced for mine.
