hey guys and gals,

just wondering if any of the NA crew are using a non-stock ecu or anything like the Apexi S-AFC and if they have noticed any worthwhile gains. What options do we have in the electronics department?

Checked out my ecu a while back and it was standard... bastard owner back in japan put wheels, suspension, exhaust, air filter and some schmick tyres on the car but was too tight to put a new ecu in :lol:

Would an ecu upgrade/supplement only be worthwhile if you have done serious mods to the car or is there a possibility for a few extra kws at the wheels even with only light mods? (we all know that's what we want)

i've seen the apexi safc in a lot of na cars. remi from sdu had one on his old na r33 and said it made a fair bit of difference. i heard he's na could keep up with some of the gts-T!! for around 450bux, i think its not too bad. can always take it back out if u get another car.

erm, i can't really remember what other mods he had. but the owner in japan pretty much did most the stuff. i think mods included (obviously all jap parts):

exhaust

extractors

lightened flywheel

heavy clutch

safc

airfilter

dunno what else, thats all i can remember. u can hop on sdu and ask him. a lot of ppl there said it was a fast na.

Hi Greg,

If it's not too troublesome, can you help me in translating this one page from my S-AFC manual? This page comes from a booklet which was does not have the English version. (The ones on US websites does not include this particular booklet).

Much appreciated.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
