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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
