What do you guys reckon of Link computers for R32s?

I know quite a few New Zealand guys use them and seem to like them.

Which would be better between a Link computer and a remap for an R32 RB20DET with FMIC, full exhaust, T04E, external gate, bigger injectors etc etc

Cheers

Hi JiMiH, my choice would be to remap in real time the standard R32GTST ECU, if you have finished your mods. If you still have things to upgrade, then a Power FC would be a better choice as the extra cost would be covered by the saved chip burning.

Hope that helps

i went to get info on the new wolf 3D for my rb20det and the bloke said that there was nothing better than the link ECU for a rb20det and then he told me it would be $2300 fitted and tuned so i tuned out, am now looking to remap the factory ecu to get my end results for a thrid the cost!

How does the Wolf compare to remapping the stock ECU then?

I mean apart from the "wanky" features that you can get such as rotational idle, are there benefits of a Wolf3D above a remapped ECU?

I haven't finished my mods yet, but I think once you have a remapped ECU you only pay for dyno time later to retune it?

James,

I took the remap route and all is sweet at the moment. The place that did my tuning, as you know, are able to do pretty much anything with the ecu, except for the features as you mentioned. They can also do a few other really cool things with the ecu as well. Bit hard to explain on here but they can put on "Valet" mode etc. Stops dickheads thrashing your car basically.

A whole lot cheaper than a Link I'd imagine.

I know enough about the Link not to suggest anyone uses them:p

JiMiH, The wolf will provide so many more features over the remap, without getting into the wanky stuff like anit-lag rotational idle etc. Pop down to see Steve at SST he'll be more than happy to run through some of the feature and demo the software to you:D

Yeah I spoke to Steve at the drags the other night and told him I'd pop in one Saturday morning to check it out.

Dan, I'll have to have a chat with you soon mate and you can tell me bout your remap :( Not to mention take me for a drive :(

Traction control is wanky stuff:p The traction control works via hall-effect sensors, and sends a signal to the engine to drop the power, rather than a second butterfly infront of the plenum like the factory fitment traction controls use. Not much good on turbo engines as it lets the turbo fall off boost.

save a dozen maps on your pc

give the bagging a rest, RIPS times are a recommendation for the stuff and ive seen 100's of cars run link with awesome results and no problems. objective debate might be better to base a decision on but is sometimes a little difficult for some

pm me jimih i can help you out with heaps of cars running it but a remap would be cheaper and just as effective as an aftermarket ecu

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
