Hay guys my car is on its way and iam budgeting for some things id like to put on there?

from what i have been told i have a stock ecu?

the car a large fmic i think its hks, exhuast cold air intake, suspension sway bars and who knows what else lol. i think it was used for drifiting also its a 97 180sx =)

it also has inside a profec b boost controler and some one said it might have the old style apexi afc but not to sure =)

now if it does have a stock ecu?

should i replace the old boost controler and put in an avcr and rsm? is it worth getting rid of the profec b or is it preety good?

or leave that crap out and put in a power fc with hand controler?

reason iam asking is with the mods the car has how well can the stock ecu perform with these mods???

e.g to performace pinging air fuel etc.

and how much can the power fc help me with the kind of mods i have?

Thanks for all the help guys..

ohh here is the link to the mods on my car from the last post. =)

Wait until the car is here.

The reason I say that is that sometimes gear can be pinched from your car while on the docks.

Sad but true.

Don't waste your money on s RSM, I'm sure you've got a speedo and tacho on the car that works.

The Profec b is a good unit, hold onto that.

You might find that the ECU has been remapped, so wait till it get's here.

When the car get's here go right over the whole car and find out what it has, and if need it be run it up on a dyno and check A/F ratios, fuel pump preasure blah blah blah, decide from that what you want and need.

Once you get the power bug you'll want more though :D

When you get the car, dyno it and get a read out of a/f ratios. If it's too rich, SAFC.

Ask yourself, why do you want the RSM? Rice factor, or for the data it can give you, and do you know what it means?

If you intend on modifying the car more in future, get the PowerFC or something similar, and don't waste money on something you'll end up replacing, ie. SAFC.

    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
    • A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.
