I'm awaiting the arrival of an emanage from the states, with the ingition, injection, and boost harnesses (and sensor)

where (in peoples experience) are good places to get this installed and configured.

I dont really mind doing the install, but want it setup by someone who knows what they are doing with fuel maps etc ...

either south sydney (the shire) or north sydney / chatswood ish

cheers

yeah, tell me about it ....

luckily i can work from home for half the week tho ...

the 'dont blow up the coils kit' well, from reading up on the emanage, the latest version of the firmware has this built in, was to do with supplying a constant voltage to the coils, and aparently this has now been turned off ... also, there wre some reports that the new harnesses are comming with the zenier diodes built in ... might just get some zeniers anyway ... not exactly expensive, and worth it to save the coils i think !

not gone for the warning light thing yet, will see if it does it as it appears that some do and some dont ... strange ... if i need to i'll grab one from AU somewhere ..

got any thoughts on an installer ?

cheers

That's a long way to drive ot work every day, tangO.

Did you also get the "don't blow up the coils" kit?

And the "turn the engine warning light off" kit?

I don't know of anyone down your way that deals with the e-manage??? Come to think of it...they are thin on the ground up here too!

I've been running the zeners for a while now, no problems, I'd recommend doing it even though they say the software is fixed...as the voltage drop over the zener brings the trigger voltage down from 5V closer to the factory trigger voltage.

I'm also 99% sure your checklight will be on, as you have the same coils as the R34..which means the diagnostic system in the ECU will detect the same 'problem'

You can do a fairly good tune yourself using the 'consult' to pull your factory map off the ECU and adjust tune through the e-manage...then just run along to a dyno to check out how you went :cheers:

hmm

ok thanks

forget to mention that the pc cable + software is comming with it too ...

oh also, what ranting are the zeners you get ??? 3.3v ?

full cost including shipping from the US is $640 USD

from the nice people at

http://www.mohdparts.com/emanage/

They currently don't have any of the pressure sensor / harness in stock, so am awaiting for it to ship from japan to the US, then from the US to AU ... sigh ... could be a while ..

couldnt find anyone in AU that would come near that price with all the harnesses

Wow, a full kit, or "set of kits" in Emanage speak.  How much did it cost, if I can be so rude?

Yeah I used 3.3V 1W zeners.

haha you'll end up like me...an ambassador for GReddy, current electronic bullshit stands at-

e-manage

software + cable

harnesses injector + ignition

ignition signal adapter

knock sensor harness (for sale)

Home dodgied-up O2 sensor harness :cheers:

BTW Mohamed from Mohdparts is a champ....I've dealt with him a lot over the past year and have never found anyone so helpful.

lol ... nice

thanks, whats the O2 sensor harness you have ??? got a schematic or something for it ????

and yeah, had a few emails bouncing back and forth, and he seems like a genuine guy, seems pretty helpful ...

Please don't swear at me ... :cheers:

no, its a manual ...

not bagging anyones car here, but why would someone buy a car like this, with a sludge box ... personally couldn't do it ... but thats just me ...

I'm from the UK where autos are for only 2 types of people

1. old

2. disabled

sorry ..

:rant:

Have you got an auto?

hmmm

cheaper power fc ??

640 USD = 927 AUD, then there is fitting + dyno days to set it up etc etc ...

i have not managed to find a power fc for a gts-t for under $1400 new ...

besides, i could use paypal with them, and have some UK pounds still sitting in an account in the UK (linked with paypal)

well, not sitting there anymore :rant:

Oh I thought it must be an auto cause you chose an Emanage over the cheaper Power FC, sorry. :cheers:

Disabled....ppppffft watch you language about my slush-box :rant:

I wired the O2 sensor into the boost sensor port of the e-manage...which you won't be able to do as you are getting the boost sensor harness....basically anything that outputs a voltage between 0-5 volts can be plugged into it and logged, resolution is changed through the real-time data logging on the software :cheers:

I bought a Power FC for $900, last month and one this month for $1125, that's with the Commander and it came from Nengun.

Power FC fitting was 8 minutes, remove LHS kick panel, unplug std ecu, plug in Power FC and drive to dyno. As for tuning, I seriously doubt that anyone could fit and tune an Emanage (fuel and igntion) faster than a Power FC. So fitting and tuning together would be cheaper or at worst maybe the same.

I will be very interested in how you get on though. I have an auto Stagea (so no Power FC) and I am looking at an Emanage for it. Please post up the results. :cheers:

dammit - now yo uhave me thinking ...

the monies for the emanage have not been taken, its going to take about 6 weeks for the emanage to arrive ... powerfc from nengun ....

hmmmm

ok, so the pros and cons ... ???

will the power fc plug into my laptop for realtime stats etc

With a Datalogit you can tune it and perform data logging to your heart's content. Refer to www.datalogit.co.nz for the cost of the datalogit software. There are a couple of extra outputs from the Datalogit that might come in handy, we use the intercooler spray for example.

There is really no comparison between an add on (piggy back) solution like an Emanage and a full ECU. Power FC = Full Computer. There is so much more you can do, if you want to.

With the Power FC we bought last month, I chose not to have an Commander, the owner spent the money (plus a little bit more) on a Datalogit instead. I like the Commander though, it's great for quick diagnostics and it saves buying quite a few gauges.

More to think about :cheers:

gah, yes, lots more to think about ....

i'm now leaning more towards a power fc ...

tha lack of emanage tuners in sydney is not doing the emanage any good either ...

plus the ease of installation, and the lack of the wifes 'omg i can't believe you're spending xxx hours on the car again'

hmmm

nengun here i come (maybe)

    • 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.
