ok, im an auto elec and spent 2 years wiring up motec ecu's in drag cars/sprint cars/street cars/race boats/hovercrafts/rock crawlers/v8 supercars ect ect.

however i have next to no experiance with power fc's

my current daily is a r33 is only got a hks pod, 3" zorst, front mount and runs a mild 0.7 bar boost

is a pfc a worthy investment? motecs used to really unlock power in cars, but at a rather large cost? do the fc's make much differance? :P

It depends on what your intentions are for the future. If your happy, leave it, if you intend modding the motor then an aftermarket ecu is essential. Pfc's aren't the only game in town [motec, wolf, haltek etc]. But they are probably the most familiar.

Looking at the mods you have at the moment, I'd probably be doing a few other things to take advantage of a good pfc = fuel pump, injectors, turbo upgrade, boost controller etc and I've probably missed a couple of things. You need a pfc to be able to use these mods, you need these mods to get the use out of a pfc.

If I could wire up a motec system and get a good tuner that knows the motec system ,

I would most likely head that way......PFC in a group buy costs around $950...

Motec on the other hand can cost 3 to 4 times this amount.

It is easy to install and has a step to step procedure(Thanks to Paul) on this Forum to allow anyone

to get the thing running and onto a dyno.....

Sure it is not the best computer on the market......and yes you have some limits on the PFC.

BUT.....it is bang for bucks.And a mod. heads dream to get this type of performance for less

than a set of tyres.

Back to your question.......if you are building a track car only go...Motec.

If you drive it day to day....PFC.

:P:D

its just a daily. to tell the truth ive never been a massive fan of skylines (no offence) but i swapped it for somthing? its not a bad car, not looking at doing any major mods. power fc's are cheap and i was just wanting to know if they made much differance to a mild modded car?

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
