Hey everyone,

I was just wondering if a wolf 3d v3 is able to be used on a 33 gtst??

If so how good is it? is it like a power fc? will it be better than an emanage ultimate or safc?

below is the pic of it.

Thanks for the help

damn google chrome!

Ill try again :laugh:

How modified is the car now/going to be?

Whats your budget?

Is it a street only car?

Those things will help answer with better detail, but for now ill tell you what i know/think/etc :P

They are a compatible yes... except for the point about how they don't use the factory knock sensor, infact they dont use anything for knock.

Where as PFC/Vipec (roughly the same price as PFC new) do use it.

They have a lot of features, and AUX inputs, thats definately a big point compared to a PFC.

However, most of those for a street car, your really never going to use 3/4 of those features.

You can email Wolf as they are AUS based, for more info... doco's etc. They are very helpful also. They have done a presentation in the past @ SAU-Vic club meetings :spank:

Their after sales support is also excellent.

http://www.wolfems.com.au thoughts, PFC wins over Wolf.

Emanage/S-AFC are lesser compared with the likes of PFC/Wolf/Vipec etc.

However... depending on the application, they might be best because they are cheaper (say if you run a stock turbo car with just a I/C and some boost... S-AFC would be my choice)

My thoughts is PFC hands down overall. Why?

- PFC comes with everything to suit the R33 perfectly. Mainly due to knock detection, first turn of the key the PFC works etc.

- Price is a factor too.

- Wolf ECU knowledge isnt as widespread (for tuners), where the PFC has many many good tuners in each state. Your not restricted to use a workshop that might be half assed and your not happy with... and then unable to go elsewhere.... where the PFC, you've got plenty of choice.

- You dont really need aftermarket support and a zillion features for a street/light modded car

- Easily tuneable, comes with cold start and everything else the same as a factory RB25 ECU.

Cheers.

PFC doesn't do anything useful with knock, it just gives you a pretty light on your dashboard that flashes and says "your engine is being destroyed".

My one gripe with the PFC is that there is no knock retard on it. If you fill up with stale fuel the only thing stopping your engine rattling itself to death is you noticing your check engine light amongst all the fun and games of hitting boost.

(ok so I'm exaggerating but still)

lol @ ur engine is destroyed.

A minor ping is nothing to get too excited about.

If your that worried im sure you could get a much brighter light other than check engine (ive actually been thinking about a bring LED setup myself and working a way to run it)... well, not me... but my wiring guru who posted after me :laugh:

Back to S-AFC... soon as you change injectors/turbo - IMO its time for a replacement/better management solution.

PFC/Vipec/Anything...

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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.
