could someone give me some advise on a aftermarket ecu for a rb20det with a r33 turbo ???

Depends on what you're looking for. They all vary in options. Have a read through and that should give you a better idea. Also, let us know what you want out of the car and the guys can advise on what could be appropriate.

Iv got this ecu that im not to sure about in a 32 that i recently bought. It looks original except this Gold Mine's Plate and some warrenty stickers around the edge. Iv gotten alot of advise to ditch this ecu. Im leaning toward going out and getting a stock ecu

do you still want to buy a PowerFC? mine was in my 1996 R33 GTST

 

I also have a Z32 AFM for sale too if your interested at all?

Don't have cash atm. This is something I won't be able to afford this until mid next year.

it all really depends on exactly what you will want from it. future mods, tuning adjustment, how much you want to spend, etc..

They are all different and better in their own ways.

It's all been covered in various treads, so i suggest starting with spending hours reading through them as most people won't want to repeat themselves again and again and again. Recently I have read about some nistunes not working for unknown reasons also some PFC having problems with the not so old models, as compared to the old ones, lol..

But basically you first need to know what you want in the end, then find the appropriate steps to get there. Or at least an idea of what you want from each piece as you source it..

As stated here man ,

News to figure out what you want out of the car in the end..

As I say to most people ecu is important spending the few extra dollars on something like a vipec for example for future mods.

Alot of people have gone pfc nd Nistunr just to end up spending money in another ecu down the road with their future mods

I am chasing 300 rwhp and I have an RB20 with a 2860rs turbo, I have a nistune ecu, 660cc injectors, and a z32 afm to put in it. Best thing about nistune is it is still a factory ecu and has cold start built in so it will save you in tuning.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
