hi all i have been looking on ebay for a power fc to tickle up my wagon. but i am confused as to which part no. power fc is more suited to my series2 rs4s manual? the 2 i have been looking at are the following part numbers. ER34 with hand controller. ECR33 with hand controller and boost controller (normally this is seperate yes?) the ER34 is around $820 plus shipping and the ECR33 is at a buy now price of $1230 plus freight. i would like to ask what the differences are and which one is more suited to my application/engine type etc? and also if they are good value at the prices stated above.

k thanks guys i was wondering if there was aproblem with the box being pressurised but if you reckon its normal i can handle that but will still be keeping an eye on it just the same

i also would like to know a bit about the pads for the series2 if any one has the specifics on part no's etc, and perhaps even an approx. cost for front and rear?

cant say i really know what the case is but i never really looked that hard into it as the hoist it was sittin on at the time is of the local skyline nut who jus happens to work at an exhaust place, he said he had not seen this problem other than when a breather hose is blocked, even though when he blew the hose clear there was nothing appearing to be obstructing it? as for the oil boiling i don think it would be that unless there are some real bad bearings and by that stage you would know there was a real problem. also i dunno if there would be any difference between series one and seriestwo mine has the neo engine and its my first car with a hair dryer so don really know much bout em, i have always had bikes over cars and still do i jus wanted a nice wagon. i will endeavour to find out as much as i can from local nutters an pm you if i find anything out. cheers oxford

i am also keen to do the power fc upgrade in the near future so will be watching this one for any more info?

i have a series2 rs four s manual and had it up on a hoist the other day sussing out the exhaust to be built, when noticed some oil around the top of the transmission casing, upon further investigation we found that there was not much oil left in the box as it had all blown out around the gear shift mechanism and up into the shift lever boot. we removed and cleaned the boot etc resealed and tightened down everthing we could drained the remainder of the transmission oil and replaced it along with a slick50 treatment, we also blew out the breather hose with compressed air and replaced. i was just wondering if this was something i need to watch for in future or would it be a once off perhaps? oxford

awesome job thanks for the link ska gonna look at it right now

i am very interested to find out where you get the weather deflectors for above the doors!!!! anyone have any ideas?

house of kolor candy ether is awesome too kinda a smoky lime green like horror movie fog effects, seen it on a 69 dodge charger looked sweet as!!!!!

dunno bout yours but mine came with good horn (non std) think it might be a falcon one cos loud and deep like an air horn but would love to jam a klaxon on it just for s#@&s and giggles.

heya krissy what do ya think of maybe the burnt orange ford colour like on the xr8 utes etc? ireckon it would look tough, i was hopin to get an orange one when i got mine but ended up with yellow instead

thanks mr rs4. i spose this would look ok in black cos i wanna try and keep it as neat/discreet as i can, the car already gets a lot of attention cos it is the only one in my area, and i have never seen another one on the road yet either, when it comes to hooking up to the std piping how well does it flow? and are the fronts of series 2 the same as series one? seems that all you guys have series one cars is all?

these are all good comments thanks guys but i still would like to know if any one has fitted a fmic to a series 2 and if so was it an easy fit? what model car do they closely match for piping etc if any? and how much of the reinforcing in front bar do ya need to remove to fit it in etc? deepending on the dimensions of the cooler to get etc if buying a generic off the shelf item? all these questions are/will be important to know before i go ahead so any help would be much appreciated. cheers . oxford

would like to know if any one on here has used a barrel(water to air)type intercooler on a series2 and if so what are the benifits/drawbacks as opposed to using the standard type FMIC where you have to butcher the front bar etc to fit it? as i would like to fit a cooler but also want to keep it as discreet as possible. i am a newbie at this whole turbo car thing so please feel free to pass on any knowledge in these matters. oxford

hi all i too am a noob to the stagea scene and was wondering if any one here has done a front mount cooler on a series2 at all? if so what kit etc and where from, cost etc and also how much stuffing around was it to do? and what gains were achieved if possible. mine is a series 2 manual with adjustable koni's and custom exhaust from the hi-flow 3"cat to the back so any info would be greatly appreciated. oxford

i am very interested in as copy of the manual as i am only a newbie at these cars and am havin enuff trouble without a manual in ewither japanese or english so will make do with the jap version

hiya all just joined the site today. Scott i had no trouble at all with the changeover from qld rego to vic reg as long as the car passed roadworthy in qld it is a straight swap to vic reg they issue new plates and hand in the qld ones and cancel the reg. be sure to get a rego cancellation form filled out so you can send it back and get a percentage refund!! post the form to the following address and they will send you a cheque. QLD transport P.O Box 5096 Central QLD M.C 4702. i had the cheque back within 10 working days, and also there was no inspection of the vehicle required but jus make sure you have every bit of paperwork on the car with you in case. cheers oxford
