hey guys i want to upgrade the ecu on my r32 gtst but i dont wana spend the 1500 odd on a power fc AP Engineered one stuff that.

but i think i might go 4 a Greddy emanage am i better of getting just the standard blue emanage with the extra harnesses or the emanage ultimate.

im not going to go hardcore on mods ive herd that the emanage can support up2 300kw, i want be going near that 250 max is my goal.

things i wana do

Intercooler --Hybrid Gt Spec

Split Front and Dump Pipe -- BATMBL one (already have cat back)

Cams--- HKS or GREDDY ??? which is better??

Turbo --- HKS GTRS KIT

Fuel Pump--- TOMEI?? ive herd WALBRO arnt that good> any ideas which 1>?

Z32 AFM

ECU --EMANAGE

EBC-- PRofect B

Injectors-- GTR?? will they flow enough??

that seems about it what do you guys reckon will the emanage b ok 4 that??

thanks heaps simon.

This will no doubt change your plans.

RB20DET AP PFC $1040 delivered.

There's no real need for a hand controller, if it knocks it flashes your dash light, you then know to get it checked out and find out exactly why it is knocking.

* The PowerFC runs the rb20det's really nice, like factory if not better, strange enough it felt smoother through acceleration. The stock ECU I had a little bit of an iffy slightly hunting idle, the pfc has got rid of that idle.

* The PFC boost control kit works well, an AVCR would be nicer as it allows rpm and gear boost control (Good to aid traction in lower gears). The AVCR being a closed loop boost controller monitors boost level and adjusts the duty cycle in real time to achieve the boost level you have set.

This helps prevent the horrid boost drop/tailing off at high rpm when running a turbo near its limits.

* Tomei and HKS cams are known to work well. I prefer Tomei.

* Fuel pump - Bosch 044, mount it internally. If done correctly they are quiet.

* Z32 afm will work fine.

* GTR Injectors will be fine, but do remember that you will be up for the cost ($250-$300) + cleaning ($150 + resistor pack ($100 S/H - $190 New)

hmm interesting i would touch the h/c anyway could end up in a big bang! but want my installer/tuner need one?? beening a ap engeneering one they want have one more than likely yeah?? hmm but just curious about the emange still how will that go?

thank simon

The EManage is a piggy back solution, there is no comparison to a Power FC (FC =Full Computer). I wouldn't bother with an EManage on an R32, if I only wanted to spend $700, then I would get the R32 ECU chipped and tuned live on the dyno.

:D cheers ;)

All the reputable places I talked to about tuning an AP Engineering PFC said that they don't need the hand controller, and that using a laptop and the software they have allows for better tuning anyway. So I wouldn't bother with it if you're not gonna touch it yourself, cause they don't wanna touch it either :D

The group buy is $1040 delivered to your door.

It should be closed, the closing date is the 26th of august.

No doubt it will extend due to lack of interest?

Slap the link in your sig and become a post whore, a lot of ppls don't look in the group buy section. :D

If you buy through greenline or the likes there is a chance you will get done for GST.

Emanage would work well with an auto setup.

nice 3000-3500rpm stall convertor with a tricked up auto would launch damn hard, nice street weapon. :D

Thats when the rb20det box gives way and your left thinking about spending $1500 on an rb25 gearbox + $800 worth of clutch (not inc. labour). For the same money you can get a nice auto setup, depends what you want the car for.

I've considered an auto as its a daily driver and I enjoy small squirts fromt he traffic lights up to the speed limit but I have my heart set on the local track. :P

Fuel pump - Bosch 044, mount it internally. If done correctly they are quiet.

you say about that fuel pump my pump now is rather loud on start up like a whining noise whilst turned to on u can hear it until it ahhh loads some fuel in the system

is that normal or is it shagged neways??

All fuel pumps have a nice little buz.

When the bosch pumps are mounted badly they tend to vibrate and create a surge grrrrrrrrrrr bad really lound annoying noise.

Mine is mounted externally and makes the horrible noise on hot days.

As said the horrible noise isn't the usual bzzzzzz, its the grrrrrr rrr r r r rrrr rr :D

ahh ok is it easy to install/mount them properly yourself??

do i have to get that 044 one or can i get the 040 because its a bit cheaper?? will it do the job ok?

Do it your self and it will get done right. :P

I know Shaun @ Boostworx does a good job that doesn't make any noise, he's in sa though. :D

There's a DIY guide how to mount a bosch pump intank in the guide section, predator I think did the guide.

040 will do the job BUT they don't mount as low down in to the tank. Grab what suits your needs.

A GTR pump may very well supply enough fuel. Chances are it will.

hmm what suits my needs... so the o44sits lower meaning it will be less noisy? sky180 sells them and it says the are "recommendly" installed exteraly

is this right or wrong so i should be able to do it ok thou hopefully bcoz everything i install in my car seems to be a mission.

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
