i think the good options bantered about are Apexi power fc, vipec or motec, motec being cripplingly expensive.

for your setup unless its full time motorsport i'd say Apexi power fc D-jetro would be the go.

you can turf the afm's and it is possible to program via laptop

vipec has anti lag, i'd prolly buy it for that alone but i already have a poer fc.

the motec you have a loom to contend with which will mean both splicing into your current cars wiring and some special wiring which ads to the cost and complexity. that said motec would have to be the best

Basic PFC - Simple, Easy to use, Cheap, Comes with commander where u can view your engine status

No lauch control, No anti lag and runs AIRFLOW sensoR!

Haltech E11V2 - Price now are cheaper and getting more affordable. So i would say this is the best ECU around.

Comes with everything, launch control, anti lag and yeah..it runs map!

AEM - Should be the same as Haltech E11 but with an extra traction control and its a lil' pricey.

MOTEC M600 - Buy it if youre a serious track goer and very nice data logging features.

the m800 has a faster board than the m600. its only $400 more expensive so id go that way between those 2.

a fully optioned m800 is going to cost u ~4-5k before you even install it. if ur serious thats the way to go, otherwise get the haltech e11v2

Tuners are pulling MoTeC's out and putting Vi-PEC's in....superior ecu. Ring Scott at Insight if you would like a full explaination why he is doing this.

Mark Jacobsen even said last night he would like to pull his MoTeC out and run a Vi-PEC.

Haltech...lol

i'm yet to be shown how and why these vipecs/links are sooooo much better than a motec/haltech, u know i'm not going to jump ship with such little info paul.

show me solid evidence, and i mean tech specs as to why, then i may consider recommending and using them.

and dont get me started on marks tuning, yes he can tune big hp cars, but i've seen some bloody terrible streeters

i have and RB26 2.8 with twin apexi rx6's , im looking to get a programable ecu something like motec or microtech

has anybody got either and which one is better ?

the Motec is better by nautical miles :rolleyes:

/thread

that was easy...

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
