Hey i really need to know who can rechip the standard ECU in an R32 GTS-T.

In sydney preferably!

I cant find anyone other than SAS, although i have heard nothing but good reports about their work, i really cant justify spending $1500 for a rechip, as its possible to buy and tune a PFC at that price.

so anyone who knows a workshop in sydney that performs this work please let me know!

cheers!

where can you get a PFC for a R32 paid for and tuned at $1500??

I believe my car has been tuned by toshi, previous owner had it done when new turbo was put on. Its a R34 turbo, but has a R33 map. I want to get it tuned for a R34 turbo, because correct me if im wrong but they different turbo's (same size i know)

well you can get a PFC from Nengun and Greenline for about $1,000 and quite a few workshops will tune the PFC for around $400-$500.

If i had that sort of money for my engine management i wouldnt hesitate, unfortunately my budget on thie area is more like $750.

and regarding turbo, i dont think there is a huge difference between the R33 and R34. well not enough to warrant spending $1500 on a rechip. just go buy a HKS2530 for that :cheers: thats what i got, and im making 210rwkw on the standard ECU. will see what a tuned ECU can produce.

interesting.

well i was running 1bar also. i have upgraded fuel pump and reg, but standard injectors.

but i havent skimped on any of my other upgrades. i did use an SAFC II but didnt gain much up top with that, more midrange.

i posted my dyno sheets etc after installing the 2530. and got 280rwhp (208rwkw) ill do a search and find it again, it was actually cutting out at around 5800rpm (maxing out AFM i signal think) otherwise ill re-scan it and post it tomorrow.

My car has always made pretty good power, even with the standard turbo it made 220rwhp (165rwkw) at a dyno shoot, there were a couple of others running similar mods that didnt even get over 200rwhp.

Could you think of any reasons why it makes more? not that im complaining!

I guess your ECU probs are robbing you a fair bit of power. whats the prob with it?

    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
    • Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
