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.....

      Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate

      He means "as opposed to mechanical cable drive". Older cars (R32 for ex.) had cable drive. Later cars with essentially the same gearbox, ie R34 GT (NA RB25) used essentially the same box as the R32 GTSt, but instead of a cable drive, had an electronic speed sender plugged into the same hole in the box, running from the same little gear that would have run the cable. Some of the shittier later cars use a speed sender on the nose of the diff, or the ABS sensors.

      Lower than engine, or lower than it should at the hubs? Either way, that is a nice power figure and I'm not surprised you say it rips now. What stopped you from turning it up any more? Injectors? Or did it just stop responding to boost?

      Got my 34 gtt tuned last week. Car made 362 wheel horsepower at 19 psi. Turbo was the ATR43SS. Only other upgrades were haltech 2000 series. 650cc injectors, walbro 250, fmic. Pro hub dyno reads 6% lower than actual figure according to my tuner. Car is a real ripper now.  IMG_7261.mov

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone in Melbourne (preferably West) has a non-S2 R34 front bar. If it's already off the car, even better!  Nothing too weird, I just need to get a cut-out of the hole that the front indicators clip into 🤣 (image attached for reference)   I've got a front bar from JSAI Aero, but those holes need to be cut myself, and I want to get it right so the indicators will clip securely. And my OEM bumper is a S2, so I have no reference. So looking for a member who might be able to spare me a few minutes to make a cardboard cut-out using your front bar.
