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)

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
