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!

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 again

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
