Hello

I have a R32 GTS-T with a twin front pipe, cat, cat back and cannon muffler. I have a fmic and a pod. I also have a RB25 turbo that I have not put on yet.

My goal is to reach between 350 and 400 hp. I know that the RB25 turbo cannot reach that.

I have a chance to buy a used E-Manage unit with the loom or $200.00 but no cd or a flashed R32 GTS-T computer for $100.00.

The E-Manage is set to 1.1 boost(this is the only info the store has for it) and the flashed stock computer is set for pod, front pipe, catback exhaust, has the boost cut deativated and has the speedo cut deactivated.

Which one is a better buy? The stock flashed computer that is just plug and go or the E-Manage? I do not know when I can have the E-Manage tuned.

I have to choose by today Japan time.

Also if I put on the RB25 turbo, will the computers probably work fine? Also I have yet to buy a boost controller.

Best to buy a tuneable ecu. U need to tune ur ecu to suit ur particular car, especially when ur going for 350hp.

Few options but cheapest is normally a NIStune ecu.

U should save up for a bigger turbo, injectors, air flow meter and ecu.

For now just install the rb25 with the stock ecu, and get an upgraded fuel pump such as a walbro Gss342, and run with the stock ecu on sensible boost 12psi

Stock flashed computer is not plug and go. It would be plug and stick it on the dyno to see if it is anywhere near your current set up's requirements and then it is not tunable so has very limited use. E-manage is no use if you can't tune it. Since neither is any good to you forget about the deadline and set about getting a Nistune chipped ecu or pfc etc.

350 is my main goal down the line, for now I just want to get a higher whp than stock and try it with tuning. So even though the flashed cpu has the mods I have, it probably has differences that were tuned for the other car? I could run into problems with it?

Would it be worth it to put in a GTR pump? My friend has one he can give me.

Where can I get a Nistune? I live in Japan, I can try to ask around but is it something you have to have your computer flashed on a Dyno to do?

I wouldn't buy any of that junk that you "need an answer by today"

Nistune is clearly the best and cheapest option for you.

I have to decide today because the store will only hold the parts for one day, its a popular used after market parts store. How do I get a Nistune?

I might be able to have the E-Manage tuned by the summer, I just have to find a affordable tuner. If it is only around 500 dollars I can do it soon.

I cannot find any PFC for my RB20 here. I have access to a PFC for a RB25.

So the flashed computer is out if I was to choose one?

Forget deciding today.

Go and do some decent research before making a decision.

Too many decide "right now" and then end up wasting their money - which is the path you are on right now.

Sounds like ur trying to do it too quick and too cheap. Shop around for a 2nd hand power fc seeing ur in japan. U should be able to find one for under $1000. Take ur time and do ur research. Do it once, do it right.

PFC is probably the way to go, Nistune is a good cheaper option but there wouldn't be any tuners in Japan comfortable with it (let alone the english only interface).

He'd probably have an easier time finding someone who can still program EPROMs using ROMedit (with it's annoying Japlish interface), seeing as that is where it was born and used for 10+ years.

My vote is also for a used PowerFC. But if it was me, I'd get a Nistune setup and tune it myself. Well, that's what I did, so that's what I would.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
