Is it easy and/or inexpensive to get the factory ECU remapped to suit a couple of mods? (air pod, bigger turbo, more boost, etc). If so, would there be any use of installing an S-AFC? I know it's better to get a fully programmable ECU like Power FC, but depending on the cost it might be cheaper to re-program the stock unit.

Ah, so that's why people buy R32 ECU's and get them remapped then. Where could I get an R32 ECU from and how much roughly? I'm guessing then that things like the S-AFC are only around due to the R33 not being able to be remapped.

It is possible but what you need to do is solder in a daughter board (extra board) into the ECU.

This get's rid of the ROM chip and replaces it with a writable chip.

There was/is a fellow on SDU that is gunna make up a heap of boards - check in the For Sale area.

As Meg's said, you can use the R32 ECU but you'll loose your VCT stuff (The R32 hasn't got it).

Cost wise I still don't know how it would work out. I sent a quick PM to a fellow in Sydney that has done it (can install/program/tune) but I'm still waiting to hear back frm him.

Ah ok. Well eproms are cheap, unless they use some weirdarsed non-standard version. I could do the soldering myself as long as I had all the right bits.

So that would leave the majority of the cost down to the reprogramming itself.

If you get a R32 ecu and send it to me I can remap and modify it to run variable cam timing the same as an R33 ecu. I currently have an r32 ecu in my 1995 r33 gtst, factory vct swithces off at at 4800 but i can set this to any rpm or intall a switch for different rpm switch off points. Cost is $175

Jay your PM box was full!

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
