Hi Guys, I am sorry if this has been covered. I did search but could not find what I am after, feel free to point me in the correct direction.

I have recently had a chip/remap and dyno tune of my facotry ECU by Dr Drift. I was happy with the result however I live away from him and as I continue to modify my car I don't see the benifit in paying at LEAST $500 to travel with my car to him to have it retuned when I could have at dyno tuned locally if I were to have a PFC and could have it done as the mods progress...

The PFC seems to be the number once choice for the Skyline and is comonly tuned by most places so I think I will stick with it.

The main questions that I have are;

How much am I able to get one for new and where from?

How cheap could I get one for second hand... with or without hand controller?

ANY input would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers guys, Todd

dont buy it without the hand controller for the purpose of saving $100 or so. it will really annoy you later on, just get it with the hand controller brand new and save the hassles.

nengun.com has it for $945 delivered with hand controller

under a grand new with controller sounds good to me, then say $200 for initial tune... then about $150-200 for following tunes... much cheaper then over $500 for every tune!

I would say $700 second hand with controller would be fair then!

Mate from what I can see you have a R32 Gtst so im guessing you have a RB20DET, if so expect to pay more like $1500 for a FC with a hand controller as you have to get an AP Engineering one,

I got the AP Engineering FC with H/C for just under $1400 delivered. And with tuning its often the case of you get what you pay for. but as paulr33 said, $400 is resonable. i found most recognised places were charging around $500+ when i was pricing it.

Machine! Thanks a lot for that paul!

Just for those interested...

Apexi RB25 PowerFC on RB20

To run the RB25 PowerFC you need to swap injector triggers for cylinders 5 and 6. You also need to run larger than rb20 injectors. You should be able to swap to Rb26 440cc injectors without much fuss and this should work, providing you dial in the correct injector latency and correction.

Apexi RB26 PowerFC on RB20

The traditional Ap Engineering RB20 model is in fact and RB26 model remapped to suit the RB20 loom and sensors. The main differences between the two is Airflow meter and 02 sensors. The RB26 having two, and the RB20 having one of each.

Two AFM:

If you are using two airflow meters you will need to run wiring for the second airflow meter manually as the RB20 loom only has support for one airflow meter.

One AFM:

If you are using one airflow meter you can simply parrallel up the airflow meter signal into the second input on the RB26 ecu. The ECU will average out both signals despite it coming from the same airflow meter to work out engine load (or airflow load).

the FAQ has been updated, see section

17. Hybrid Apexi PowerFC models and mix n match models, can it be done?

for the answers you seek :D

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
