Well I've heard alot about what is good and what isnt good and i thought to hell with it im just going to do it. So i have a Greddy ultimate on hold till next thursday when i will pay for it and get it sent to me. I have also contacted Cihan @ http://etuner.com.au/ he has booked me in and confirmed he can do this install and tune in a day. So hopefully this will put an end to the "emanage ultimate good or not" topics and hopefully i can get my car running sweet again. will keep yas updated.

cheers

You want one of THESE running your cars?

LOL. Tomorrow I'm going to go and enquire about getting my PFC installed FINALLY, after hearing Duncan's happy with his now. Will also have my FMIC installed (it's been sitting here in the box for too long), and quite likely get a dump pipe and new hi-flow cat added as well.

Hope it goes great Clint, there's so many conflicting views in regards to auto ECU's on this forum I'm lost everytime I do a search. My eyes will be glued for the updates =)

good stuff nick.

about time we had something to cheer on around here. you are a positive force around here and i know i won't be the only person wishing you all the best with the next round of modifications.

yeah to easy. i know every one has there own views but as we have seen not all s1's have the same ecu or harness so im trying to be different but at the same time safe. atleast with my auto every one agrees that a piggy back is my best bet so the auto ecu can still function. will let yas all know how my progress go's and i will test out a new tuner as every one always bangs on about finding a tuner that can tune your car properly.

i personally would see trent at status for emu tuning. (URAS on here)

Nick, are yours and Duncans' cars autos?

-Ryan

Nope Ryan, both are manuals. I snapped mine up because of the fact it was already converted (a factory RS-Four S at the time I bought mine was still minimum $28K, and I paid just over $18 for mine, although it is an s1). Duncan brought his into the country as an s1 auto, and converted it later on after he couldn't stand it any more - he probably used some "spare parts" from the race car R32 GTR he tows around behind the Stagea)...

good stuff nick.

Thanks Andrew!

Looking forward to it, just hoping that I won't have to endure all the issues that Duncan did being the guinea pig for us Sydney owners...

And I also hope it doesn't take too long - that's probably the other reason I haven't had it done yet, I just enjoy the fact that the car is right here and available if I wanna go for a drive.

Also, it would have been good if a) Duncan's had been done earlier; and b) if the workshop wasn't so busy this week. My sister has been on holidays all week, so I could have just used her car to get around. Oh well, everything happens for a reason, so I'm happy to just go with the flow.

For people nearer Sydney there is tuner called Anthony whose shop is in Newcastle (see his profile under "Guilt-Toy" who is happy tuning e-manage (does PFC as well) .

At http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=229894

there is an interesting story of how he tuned an Skyline in Georgia (in the former Soviet Union, not in the USA) remotely with 3G phone!

if you are using a piggyback, once youve got your mods done Id suggest talking to Toshi, get a ecu chip done, retune the piggyback and you should be sweet

:)

sorry mate im a bit lost, but what does this new ecu chip do for me, that the emanage ultimate and stock ecu cant ?

cheers Clint.

lol 7 days to go who els is excited for me ?

I am interested to see how you go as I am looking at an Emanage Ultimate for my car also.

Have spoken and prices sound reasonable..

Will work with LiLPG conversion as well!

Can you get "before and after" Dyno printouts?

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
