lol is there some sort of anti lag and launch control feature?

I wish..

f**k I just read it... Its madness, this guy is a god.

Do you have a link to the latest build? Save me wading through 400 posts.

And he's even considering launch control and antilag...

Hmmm.. their database looks as solid as SAU's :)

Hi ppls,

I've been following the development of FC-Tune for quite some time now.

It appears its finally on its last stages of development.

Here...

and look at this nice little piece

I've made sure FCTune works with the R32 RB20DET powerfc's. :thumbsup:

If those who have other power fc models which to make it work simply download 0.53 or 0.54 beta release and perform a scan with the datalogit box hooked up.

Post it to him and hopefully you should receive an email stating its all a.o.k. :)

Very Impressive

andre is busy adding features and making it work. a new version is scheduled to come out in a week 0.55 (current is 0.54). i am not sure when rb25det will be supported (or rb26). he seems more intested in honda (as he has one with him and rx7 also). so they get priority i would assume. he has also redone the interface in fc tune to be around the styles of the new office 2007 layout and pictures.

the fc tune is designed as a multi ecu tune software, he plans to support autronic and other ecu's later on.

the box/cable dongle he will be selling he plans to offer flash upgrades for it. it will work with kashima's dongle/cable and fc datalogit versions also and his own.

andre has also made some custom devices for the powerfc (and his interface) but they are coming at a later stage. he made a DIN sized head uit that controlled his stereo, powerfc map switching and some custom guage display unit.

andre has also opened up the old powerfcs (say 2.32 pfc) and 5.1 ish versions and 7.x versiosn and found that the older one's arent flashable but the newer versions are reflashsable and have an onboard connector (he believes for apexi staff and excel tuners to change custom stuff).

i have also seen/heard of people have their stock PFC sent to apexi to rechipped as PRO version, not sure who/how/$$$ on this one and if its available.

the auto tune feature sounds very cool using wideband as real time input and its just mathematics from there onwards. IGN autotune would be fantastic and certainly possible, relying on the stock knock sensors (assuming it was safe and acceptable). i mean i rely on the stock knock sensors to IGN tune so i dont see why a computer program cant

Interesting, is there any advantage to this software over the datalogit program that most poeople use.

Is datalogic as available and free?

I will be putting together a 26/30 soon and am unsure what pfc i will buy (rb20/25/26) to run it in my r32, this software looks fantastic.

Even though i have a dyno i wont be doing the tuning so would i be better off just going to a place with the datalogit and getting them to tune it.

Sorry if slightly off topic, Mick

Ive found datalogit software buggy, unreliable and generally sucky.

The interface is crap, if you load the software and hit enter with nothing else it loads a stock tune directly on your powerfc (assumiing its plugged in).

The logging is a bit strange (basic + advanced, why two??)

It certainly does function, and offer what is promiseb but IMHO its a very poor attempt and the VB code sucks, worst environment ever.

FC Tune is done in high level C so its portable between platforms and PDA's etc are supported.

You don't need FC Tune/Datalogit but the main advantages are;

Able to edit AFM ramp (useful if using Z32,Q45 and want to rescale it).

Able to save/load tunes

Can do map tracer plotting a sensor. ie: Knock Map which plots knocking values (either min,max,avg) onto a Map Tracer window so you can see what cells knock more than others

Can do tune compare between .dat files

I've done wideband tuning on the road and IGN tuning on the road without doing it via datalogit but it was easier to IGN timing adjustments with datalogit and knock map cos i could easily spot. i found it a little cumbersome using the stock map tracer and watching for engine check light to inidicate high amounts of knock. it was also much more easier when seeing areas that didnt knock much, or very low.

Fc tune is certianly the preferred and ideal one to use, I cant wait for it to be done for RB25

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
