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?

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
