Hi guys...looking at getting a greddy emanage ultimate installed on my AUTO...r33 gtst. I know most tuners like efi, apc, 999, pits etc.. have speicalise in particular brands of ecu's, and I would just would like some help in deciding which tuner to pick that does good work with the greddy ecu's around south east QLD (either coast, brisbane etc).

Cheers

Pits wont.

I sold mine a few years ago in favour for the PFC, just so much easier.

Its a shame you cant use a PFC :D

PFC arnt all that man, ill rate emanage. keeps stock ecu cold start settings etc. MINT !!! piggy back

hitup STZ fo sure.

im in the middle of getting an emanage myself :domokun:

Thanks for the help everyone!!! STZ sound pretty good for the emanage and anymore info....KEEP IT COMING LOL......

finally a bit off topic, but has anyone got info on whether or not a z23 vg30dett AUTO ecu, will work as a replacement for the ecr33 auto ecu??? because if that was the case i could also concider a nistune for my ecu option aswell.....

I had an emanage ultimate for a year or 2.

seemed to have loads of problems, so I got rid of it and went for a nistune -more reliable, cheaper, more choice of tuners, etc.

i like the idea of the emanage, but i dont think they work so well with 34's

now very happy with Nistune

Yeah believe me, if i can find out if i can get the z32 auto ecu, to work as a replacement for the ecr33 ill be getting a nistune no worries lol....

talk to EFI Performance. Sean has worked with nistune for ages. nice guys, very helpful.

Cheers pear,

yeah i had a few people on boost recommend EFI today aswell (for nistune), so im going to give them and nistune a call first thing tomorrow and see what they can do about my little ecu problem....

Sean at EFI said that shouldn't be any drama putting either r32 or z32 auto... ecu's in my car for a nistune, just that with the r32 ecu you will lose VCT, and with the z32 ecu they have to rewire for timing and injectors. Only effect on the auto transmission is a slight increase in lenght of the gear changes between 1st and 2nd. Also chasing an EMS Stinger ecu on here second hand ($600 without loom), but atleast i have a bit more of an idea on which way to go now... This has given me quite a bit to think about and thanks everyone for the help..much appreciated.

cheers...

good to hear

Finding an ECU you like is one thing, but finding a tuner you can trust AND one that can work with your preferred ECU can sometimes be hard!!

In hindsight, I should have picked my tuner 1st.

I know EFI do a lot more ECU's than Nistune, and in my books Sean is one of the best tuners I've seen.

ps. thanks tristan :domokun:

Ended up buying an EMS Stinger 4424 off a guy on Boostcruising...$650, which wasnt too bad. Keep the factory ecu (to control the auto) and wire the stinger in to control the rest. Means i dont have to swap factory ecu's and iv'e basically got a stand alone ecu, which i can use as a piggy back. I dont need a z32 afm either lol..so now i just need to get everything in the car and tuned....

post my results on dyno as soon as its all done...

cheers everyone for the input and if anyone has any more info that my help myself and or others with emanage tuners and tuners in general around southeast qld..keep it coming

thanks

Hi ,

sorry to bring up an old thread but wanted info regarding this

Hey mate, This post is in the QLD section, so I would suggest you repost it in the NSW section you would get more responses there.

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
