I think you should flog the FCon to someone over east as suggested.

Then with the cash you could buy an e-manage and later on add the E-01 and ignition harness for full tuning.

The e-manage is only $415 form nengun and the E-01 is $910 including shipping.

The initial advantage of the basic e-manage is that its a simple afc to begin with so tuning won't be a long and expensive process.

Hey maybe if you wash the R34 for the next 2 years Chris might let you borrow his e-mange tuning cable and software, then you can have the full 3D ignition and fuel mapping of the power FC for the price of the basic e-manage and ignition harness.

In the US people share the software and cable kit with others in their car clubs to keep the cost down, pay for it out of club fees or group buy.

yeh i asked about the e-manage in General Discussion area

i was told that overall its too expensive...

is it possible to simply buy the e-manage box (little blue thing) plug it in and pay 1-2 hours dyno time

ie total cost = $415

+ tuning???

i was told that buying the little blue box was useless as it had no tuning interface!

Adam,

I think you can see that the e-manage is a hell of a lot cheaper than even a PFC setup, you have to remember that the E-01 is a very funky boost controller by itself as well.

some people have an abillity to talk crap, as in the people who say things like 'the e-manage is too expensive' and 'the blue box can't be tuned'. I think you can find the answers on the trust website and unless you can't read they say what I'm telling you.

The $415 e-manage gives you AFC control just like the apexi unit (minus two rev ranges), it has 5 trim pots to adjust which won't take long at all to tune. And given that it can be upgraded easily why would you buy the apexi for more $$$ appart from the blue screen?

so by paying $415 i buy a unit which will be fully wired, installed and control the same thing as the S-AFC

im not bothered about the blue screen, ive got no-where to put it anyway

all i want is to control the fuel map, nothing else!! :cool:

how do they tune the blue box? does it hve its own interface like the SAFC or do you need software?

who is the person in perth to talk to about this? (ie installing and fitting)

adam 32, the bare e-manage box has 5 dials (trim potentiometers) built into its underside. By itself, this gives you similiar tuning resolution to a 1st gen s-afc. But if you wash Chris's car :cool: and get a hold of the software & usb cable, it extends the tuning range to a 16x16 map and lets you do other funky things, like upgrade afm's and injectors. http://www.mkiv.com/tmp/emanage/emanage_so...ual/esm/004.JPG

BTW R34, how did the tuning of the e-manage go? Anything to add?

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
