Had my 34 gt-t converted to manual and i now am in the market for an afm ecu but i'm not sure of what to get. I've been told to ask around for opinions on the contrasts between the power fc and the ems. Which do you think is better out of the two and which has more potential for future mods and tuning? I've been told to go EMS as there are alot of workshops that can tune it and as for the power fc there are not much out there who know how to fully tune the power fc to its full potential except maybe for Croydon (Sydney) but their rates are way to much for my pocket. And whats this about EMS not requiring an air flow metre where as the power fc does?

So which should i go for?

Thanks guys.

I have a EMS running my 25 and it goes really well the Air flow meter has been removed due to EMS running a map sensor. ad V+E rigoli tuned it not to long ago and it cost me only a pittance less then $300.

originally the car was running with the ems piggybacked into the standard comp now it is operating by itself

Who would you recommend in Sydney besides Croydon DAN00H? I've heard about HITMAN.....

there is someone that SK uses that is reputed to be very good.

I have not had positive feedback on Unique. One of my mates has a 300zx that he gets tunes at a place close to unique. I'll find out who it is.

the afm is no big deal and it will make sure you car idles well and runs well and has good response. removing the afm and chaging to map sensor and youll loose some of those niceness factors. the afm is the more accurate way to measure air input vs the map sensor. the power fc djetro lets you remove the afm and change to map sensor (if you insist on removing it) but for a rb25 id say stick with afm and just change to a bigger higher resolution one

ask some tuners what ecu they prefer. cars are capable of 1000hp+ with twin q45 afms so the age old argument i cant get over 500hp with airflow meters is not true. most people just think it wont make more power cos of the input size of the afm. the q45 is 90mm and rb25 is 80mm. the z32 is 80mm but has higher resolution so its a good upgrade for a mild rb25 maxing out its stocker 80mm afm. is the ems direct swap in? can you rip out stock ecu, put in ems and start the car and drive it around? how much is ems? how much to tune ems? is it closed loop and will it use feedback from the oxygen sensor?

      Stock speakers / head unit functionality

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The front speakers in an R32 are 6x4s which is a shit size. You can fit 6.5" woofers or coaxials in there but you need to make a mounting board from MDF. I have a post on here somewhere showing what I made. You can fit 6.5" in the parcel shelf easily enough. If upgrading the head unit, the stock speaker wiring is not really fat enough to run big speakers (ie the wires into the doors or up to the rear) because the amplifiers are located next to the speakers. Running new speaker wires front and rear is a good idea anyway.

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      Been ages since I did anything on the s15 but got some time and motivation over the weekend. Brakes are now fitted with fresh seals, hardware and pads. Bolted up with the alpha omega brackets, just waiting on 2 fittings and sensors to Bleed them. With that done moved onto the fuel system. The injectors have been cleaned ,flow tested, new filters and orings.  Made a bracket to hold the surge tank with surge tank and pumps mounted then plumbed. Roll-over valve done too. Need to make a new loom and add individual relays for it all. Had new flange welded on inlet manifold for a bosch 74mm DBW throttle body.  Coolant bypass hose done with some fittings welded on now then soda blasted. Waiting on sensors to arrive to install and pwr for radiator and intercooler still. Getting to point of buying an ECU and looking like may be going something else as link doesn't have enough inputs.   Work has been awesome with first trip to Perth and now on the way to Darwin looking for a good result there.

      It always makes me laugh when I hear things like this, when I was a young bloke I bought a old Mk1 Escort, one of my mates said "how do you expect to have a girlfriend in a old car like this", my reply was "if she doesn't like the car she can walk, and if she is more interested in the car I drive than me she can fark off" This is how you can tell if you have a good woman, they care not about things like the cars you drive or what it sounds like Pandering to crazy obsessed women who care more about how they look in a car than the person driving it is something that I've always kept away from Not saying my Mrs isn't crazy at times, but it's typically me being a idiot that incites the crazy 🤪

      But where's the fun in that, for me it isn't about the money, I have money, and I have time, I enjoy the process of things, the picking parts, the "adventure" of it all, and for the bits I can do myself, the actual work is enjoyable, well, varying levels on enjoyment on hard to reach things like that farking thermostat I just changed
