Hey guys. Just trying to gather a few opinions and experiences on the greddy e-manage ultimate as opposed to the more common power fc. Will be purchasing computer for my R34 GTR so preferably someone who's maybe used one on the same car but any feedback would be appreciated. and yes, I have tried searching lol.

for BNR34 powerfc is bulletproof and cheap and you can buy it new plug and play for BNR34 with el hand controller

what is wrong with common?

common means there is lots of support (the powerfc faq, over 29,000 words, 154 pages)

common means there are lots of tuners (you can choose price and service)

common means its well proven and works

the bnr34 is such a nice car id hate to see you end up with an emanage mangled mess

why would you run a piggy back on a GTR?

i used to run an emanage ultimate - it was good for $500 and around 220-230kw BUT for anything above that you would want a standalone ECU.

personally, i wouldnt go for a power FC unless it was a bargain buy at under $1000. for the extra $600 i'd go for a link or vipec in terms of bang for buck. support for the vipec is direct with its creator, ray hall on the vipec website.

its simple to use and the add-on features are great (e.g. knock sensor, wideband for the auto-tune feature or logging, oil temp/pressure etc, boost control). and the help file ACTUALLY helps.

if your talking power specific, mines pushing over 285 awkw.. i dont have any problems with the eManage.

they are capable of pushing over 300kw... but at the end of the day you're after reliability when you're in the 250kw+ zone. for me it was fine at the 220-230kw mark but for some reason the r33 ecu didnt like the figures that were going into the MAF voltage table (for the MAP sensor conversion) and would pretty much shit itself when trying to tune. a lot of tuners wont touch them because its things like that, that make them a PITA.

best thing is to go to your tuner and ask them which ECU in your budget they prefer to tune. after all they are the ones that have to deal with it.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
