Hey Guys,

I'm heading down to Sydney in Jan.

looking for a good workshop that has installed & tuned an emanage ultimate on a 34 GTT (manual).

I've heard Croydon are good with them (have done a search), but I wanted to hear from an OWNER that has had the work done...

Any 34 owners with EMU out there???

PM me if there are any places to stay clear of, otherwise, any info would be great.

:rofl:

everyone seems to stay they have done heaps of emanage ultimate install/tunes,

but I'm yet to meet anyone that has one installed in their 34.

keen to hear more...

cheers

Since when have CRD had a bad rep? Not in my lifetime that fore sure!

two of my cars have had work at CRD over the years & theyve helped me out alot & given me advice along the way.

One of my ex customers had his E-manage tuned by Adam at JEM just engine managements at Moorebank in his r34 gtt & was very happy with their job. A friend of mine has had all of his work on his 300kw honda civic performed by Adam..

Also check out Advan Performance, now in Auburn i think.

:yes:

Hey man i use APC at Underwood www.apc-racing.com to do all my work done and Nick from there knows a bit about them becuse he sugested it to me and gave me a good run down on it.. I plan to get it fitted through them in the New Year... AHHH It already is :P O well in the next few months. lol

There are som high powered cars running on the ultimate in japan i have heared... Only problem is they look too good to hide with the ecu...

Good luck and let us know how it goes hey....

Well from what ive heard certain companies which may have been mentioned in this post minus tune house,apc or jem ask for alot of $$$ with little return compared to people who ask a little less and put alot more in.

I.e friends with cars = base tune uploaded with no additional tuning unless they remained in house to watch the tune. Interesting.

Think bout this, people with less cars often spend more time on a car then people with a lot of cars and pissed off customers who would spend less time if they manage to get away with it.

if a tune takes 20 mins they havnt done jack..

I dont know the person who discussed it with me raised some good points, even detailed his own work shop which he worked for as being into this, its very reputable. not linked to above.

true to wat DECIM8 said. keep an eye out for some shops which may overcharge. i know adam from JEM is top bloke talked to him a few times and he did my mates onevia. anyone got the ultimate in their 33 gtst? wanna see how this cheaper alternative might work out...

ive got an emanage running in my r33 with the a/f meter, pressure sensor and launch control all hooked up.

it should be sweet once its all tuned. if you let me know beforehand ill take my laptop to a meet and show you how it all works.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
