Hi all..

I have a Silvia S13 with RB25det, fully forged internals and loads of other mods, just waiting for bigger turbo and aftermarket computer... this is where you come in? Hopefully? I am looking at either a GT2871R or GT35R (depending on money factor) and have been recommended various computers for this. Now if I had the money, it would be no question I would get a motec, but as it is the funds are tight and Im thinking of either an Apexi Power FC or (as numerous people have recommended) a Wolf... So here's the question... which is better or any other suggestions??? Thanks in advance ;)

Choice of ECU has been covered plenty of times, try searching.

Usually its best to decide on a tuner and ask them :wave:

Power FC is very common on skylines tuning on 98 octane fuel...it works with great results. If your using E85 or something then you need to re-consider a lot of things :)

I don't think anyone out there uses regular unleaded on these engines do they??? Always run 98 otherwise you're asking for serious trouble.

Run a Vi-PEC far superior than both the ECU's you mentioned....see Guilt-Toy's thread about his...he used to be a Power FC man through and through...now he has a Vi-PEC he will never go back to an old technology Apexi unit.

They are just as good as a MoTeC without the massive pricetag.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
