Ok, now that i have finally tracked down a Power FC for my R32 GTSt, i have a few questions.

Are the hand controllers universal, or are they specific to each model of ECU? If they are universal what $$$ should i expect to pay for a 2nd hand one?

Also the base maps that come supplied with the ECU, how close to the mark are they for a car running exhaust, filter, intercooler, and 0.85 bar boost. Maybe put in terms of whether it is better or worse then OE Nissan ECU. (Can i comfortably drive from A to B without harming engine???)

I know they still rely on the airflow meter, but i have heard people running vent to atmosphere BOVs with Power FCs. Do they still have the same prob with stalling, or does the flexibilty of the ECU allow you to tune around it??

... thats all the Qs i can think of for now

I got a Power FC running in my HCR32

The part number for the hand controller is #FCC2NT010-00443

I pluged in my Power FC to give it a idle tune

10min standard idle, 10min with rear fog & 10min with aircon on.

I found out that the Power FC was tuned to the previous owner HCR32 which i dont know what exactly has been done to it so i resetted the Power FC, it ran ok i had the same setup as you did then also, i would just wait untill u can afford to tune the thing.

BOV is ok nothing happened, no stalling problem at all.

Hi guys, also have a Power FC in R32 RB20DET, we use the normal PFC Commander that works on Nissans, 415- N001. I have used this Commander on R32 GTR's, R33 GTR's, S13's and S14's. Plus it worked OK on the Honda and an RX7. I paid $300 for it, used, on the forum.

Hi Joe, that looks like a serial number not a part number.

Hi Roy, as with all Power FC's the default/base map is OK, it has very conservative fuel (too rich) and ignition (a bit retarded) maps to protect the engine. Apexi don't want to get sued. So there is no way the difference between Japanese 100 ron and Oz 98 ron is going to be a problem for a drive from home to the dyno shop.

We also vent the BOV to atmosphere, and the PFC is tuneable to over come the stalling problem.

Hope that helps.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
