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

Thanks again

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
