Hello, i have a r33 gtst with a few mods and are chasing around 250rwkw (or more) and have most of the supporting mods.

bigger turbo, frontmount, full exhaust, 040 pump, ebc, safc, (bigger injectors coming soon)

I realise that my safc will only be able to run a failry safe 200rwkw, and need to know wat i should get that is able to run this power.

Also say i dont get a stand alone computer will it be able to get rid of the fuel cut and boost cut?

another question is there any way of getting rid of these cuts using the standard computer?

power fc is not that cheap for a rb25 and im not that keen on getting it tuned ect. so any feedback on how e-manage systems work or other management which are good for wat im chasing is appreciated.

cheers

I've got an Adaptronic running on mine, havent had a problem with it. Its and excellent ECU runs MAP and very tunable and great milage.

www.adaptronic.com.au

Great thing is there so cheap you can pick one up for $990 and $70 for the 2mtr loom. Also they do a plug in loom for the r33 rb25det

With any aftermarket ecu you will need to get it tuned to get the benifts of it.

Cheers

I like the autronics, but then again im anti airflow meter :), and they're not cheap, but the bennifs they have over other stand alone computers is worth the price, i like to have my car running as smooth as it would do with a standard comp tho, haltecs are pretty good as well from what ive heard but then again they're not the cheapest solution.

For what you want you're looking at spending a bit of money for a decent piggyback (i.e. $800 for e-manage) and several hundred for a good tune.

Go for one of the better computers, stand alone or piggyback, is my opinion.

Wolf also has a good reputation like the other guys have said.

Its all good and well all the posts in this thread so far.

But he said he cant even afford a PFC @ approx $1400 give or take. So that basically counts ALL the other options bar piggy-backs like

e-manage

S-AFC

etc etc

A remap *might* fit under but im not entirely sure on pricing these days.

So in relation to the above two options, for 250rwkw+ i really think your going to need more than a $600 interceptor style ECU.

You really cant get any ECU in/tuned for less than $1600 these days, so if you dont have that much to spend on decent management, then dont chase the power.

Point taken, guess i will sell my safc and start saving.

cheers

Good idea save for pfc or something simular and you wont regret it. Stuff like safc with mild mods are of for peak power but the real difference is in the midrange power and torque that you will get from a better stand alone unit like a pfc. I sold my safc and bought a pfc and car drives like a dream.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
