Wouldn't we ALL like to know this.

As far as I know there is supposedly only one or two shops in Australia who have it cos it was domestic only.

So far these shops have been conspicous by the lack of any knowledge of who they are.

Cheers

What's with all the secrecy about this software?

I don't see why Apexi wouldn't want to release it as it makes the Power FC more tunable and therefore more appealing to the consumer.

I found this site http://www.fc-datalogit.co.nz/fc-datalogit.html which allows PC tuning of your Power FC but they only have gtr 33/32...

Gavin Wood Autotech (www.autech.net.au) has all cables and software, its what he uses for all PFC tuning (road + dyno) in conjunction with some autronic A/R meter and spaghetti-junction style cables. You may be able to see it in action in several of the photos on the website if I remember correctly.

FC-Datalogit (www.fc-datalogit.co.nz) claims the need for a special dongle for each model of engine, but with some very minor hax0ring of wires, the same dongle can be used for SR20/RB20/RB25/RB26 and I'm sure several (many?) others.

FC-Datalogit in use at QR Sprints on MELV's gtr:

geez, what sort of crazy thread is this ??

there IS such software available and CRD 1000000% have it!!!! Bel Performance also have it. as already mentioned, all apexi power excel dealers have it.

I have personally got the FC Datalogit software and use it on my STI. I also lend it to several places that use it to tune multiple cars

FACTS

1. All of the 'dongles' are the same for the FC Datalogit. I have PERSONALLY used it on WRX's, GTR's, 200SX's and a GTI-R

2. each model car has a different version of software. i.e. wrx software will ONLY work on a wrx so, you will have to buy the correct software to suit your car

I would be interested in selling my unit complete will software for the cars I have mentioned above for about $650AUD. I dont really use it anymore as my car is fully tuned now.

FYI, the datalogit unit also has launch control. :P and u can log AFR's etc

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
