R33 gtr would be my guess too.

check the plug when you get it, compared to r33 gtr pinouts and go from there.

i doubt they would use a different ecu/harness just for the stagea given it was an aftermarket modification to stageas by autech.

good idea to look at the pinouts when the car comes. I saw a greddy one for under A$600 in Japan looks good too but tis for a r32 and r33gtrs though

thanks guys. Then next question which brand and model? And average one that will do the job

A "Power FC" is an after market computer that is made by Apexi... there is only one brand of Power FC, if you are talking about other brands of AM computers then I think most people will point you back the the PFC anyway. I hope that helps... try this link seems like the go!

So "Power FC" is the model made by Apexi? Am i right? If thats the case how about othe FC brand? Which ones? Cos i cant read freaking Japanse from the freaking Hyper Rev mag. Cant read the specs

:/

theres 2 versions of the power fc and one is the air flow meter version and one gets rid of the air flow meters and uses 2 map sensors called the power fc djetro

the AFM'd version is fine for most power unless u are going totally insane and want over 500hp or so at the wheels, and even then the afm'd one is still fine.

djetro is $1600 all up with map sensors etc and normal power fc is about $980 or so

If thats the case i will opt for the one w/o the air flow meter then. Which brand though? Hks?

its an apexi power fc djetro (non afm'd version) and its like the m800 ecu is a motec and the smc4 is an autronic, and mtx12 is a microtech

power fc is one specific ecu (well 2 versions as i said earlier) by apexi and nuthin to do with the name of aftermarket ecu's in any other brand.

hks make an f con pro ecu but they are not good because no one tunes them except one shop in Oz i think from memory

afm'd power fc is much much easier to tune and comes with a base map to start tuning from where as the djetro is a start from scratch ecu and requires a good 3-4 hours tuning just to get the engine even running.

sydneykid reccomends the afm'd version in every application due to cheaper price and easier/cheaper tuning.

ive actually got a gtr power fc djetro sitting in the box brand new in my room waiting to go on my stagea in the future once i put the other engine setup in :thumbsup:

plenty of over 500hp cars and one 890hp gtr is running a djetro in WA so they are pretty good ecu's :/

just remember over 500hp reliably in a stagea is gonna cost over 20k just in mods easy! thats engine rebuild time if u want it to last as plenty are blowing pistons and the like with that sort of power.

around 450hp is the cheapest and stock engine should last a fair while on that power level.

so what im saying is its best to use the afm'd version in 99.9% of cases, and even the vmax apexi drag gtr that runs 8 seconds still runs afm's.

Thanks cruiseliner for clariying the terms. I think i will be getting the power Fc commander.

Thanks again

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
