Hey guys/girls,

Does anyone know where i can purchase an aftermarket ECU system for an R34 RB25DE, either GReddy E-Manage or something similar?

My car is a non-turbo now, but i am going down the conversion path soon, so i wanted something that i could use now to get the most out of my NA, and then when i get the turbo it can be retuned.

Thing is wherever i look, people only seem to be selling them for 33's or GTR's. So would they be the same for 33's and 34's? I thought they had different looms, etc...

Also, what wiring harnesses would i need to get? Damn things get real confusing when youre trying to find out what you need.

And would it be worth getting the E-Manage Ultimate considering what im planning, or will Blue be suitable for my plans? Or if anyone has any other suggestions of ECU's...

Thanks for any help,

Martin

get an Apexi SAFC... great piggy back that can be used for turbo or NA and when you go turbo just retune it...

thing is, you can easily get rid of it if you want to get a more specific ECU ie. Power FC or Vipec but in the mean time if you don't have $1600 for an ECU the SAFC is great and any workshop can easily play with it

hope that helps mate

Yeh i had thought of the SAFC II, but i thought they were really only useful for changing afr?

Would SAFC be just as good as SAFC II? And where can i get one for an R34 RB25DE, as i said before, ive only found things for 33's and GTR's.

Maybe i will look into them some more, thanks for that man

Ok, i did a search and the SAFC has been discontinued, can only get the AFC Neo now, i assume that is what you have Levi? So it will fit just about any car? It only costs around $450, so i think i might get that if that is the case.

The AFC Neo would still be suitable for my current NA and later down the track the turbo?

Thanks for your help guys

SAFC's are a standard item and can be used across a large number of cars. I Have a SAFCII Neo in my R33 Turbo, was very cheap and only costs around ~$150 to tune.

It will only allow you to adjust AFR's, but in these low-power applications, it's more than good enough.

Dont go for the greddy e manage ultimate i have it in my car, hyperdrive found it to b a pain in the ass to tune, and ive heard these days noone wants to no about them, plus i was told when wanting more power that the ecu wouldnt handle it. also was told that nissans dont like them more sutiable for hondas etc. would def consider vipec if u got the cash

They definitely do Nistune for skylines.

It's R33 GTSt's that they can't really do (they can but they need to use an R32 ecu).

If they can do my Neo engined auto stagea then I don't see why they can't do non-turbo Neo'd 34.

Ring Hyperdrive, CRed or Allstar.

what is ur plan on ur car?

if you have big plan DITCH EMANAGE or any PIGGY BACK like SAFC is not worth it.

get a propper ecu, it cheap now days for Power FC 2nd hand.

emanage and safc is good only for small tuning, fixing AFR and up the boost by a LITTLE bit.

once you start getting bigger turbo, up to higher boost, changed injectors and soo oon, they cant do it any more, and it will shat it self and ruining your engine

i've blown 2 ENGINE on emanage and NEVER GO BACK any more ... Stand alone is the way!

ALLSTAR, RPW, HYPERDRIVE this the work shop that i went and talk about e-manage and THEY did not RECOMENDED to install on any car that Medium to Heavily modified. They will tune it for you but you will waste your money on the tuning as its TIME consuming and hard to TUNE E-manage to get it right, smooth graph and spot on + you wont get the results you want

for Stocker that wants 15-20 whp more yeah it will do it.

Plan for the car is to turbo-charge it either next year or the year after. I will only run small amounts of boost, ~7PSI until i get the R34 GTR. Then my current car will become my project and the GTR will be my daily. I plan to forge the internals, rebuild everything, and thats when i will upgrade to a larger turbo

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup

      Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
