If any1 can help......

Have an r33 that has previously had an EMS 8860 wired up to it......but the computer itself is missing and the wiring is still there.....

My question for everyone is would it be better for me to buy a PFC and install that (dont know to what extent i have to chage it back to standard wiring....as i dont know if ems uses full loom) from nengun there about $1k~ or buy the ems unit and plug it straight in ($1.5k~).

If it wil only cost a few hundred to put the pcf in thats what ill do as im a bit worried if i get pulled over and have the ems. cos if i do cop a epa then thats a hassle wiring it back to standard as opposed to tthe plug and play pfc.

:P ...Jim

ahh gotta hate theives ;) damn bastards sorry to hear.. were you still running a AFM with the EMS? if so would be easier to go back to power fc.. how ever if you werent it'd be a bit more than just 1k if you were running map thru the ems to go back to pfc with afm and shit unless you get the djetro model or so.. either way your choice

ye was running afm.....so what u think it would cost to go back to a pfc...(not including the pfc itself)

Sorry not enough information to give a good answer. Is the standard harness cut? Is the standard ECU plug still there? Does it have a wally adaptor that goes from the standard plug to the EMS plug? Have you tried plugging in a standard ECU? ;)

had a good look today......

The standard ECU Plug is still there...... but just before it (the auto elects...or whoever done it) tapped into the wires just before the plug and connected the ems plug.....

So it all seems to be connected but they have cut into it and added the ems loom......

Looking good as the standard loom is still there.....

      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:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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
