UNLESS I SEE A PRESS RELEASE OR SOMETHING WRITTEN ON THERE WEBSITE ABOUT IT...THIS IS BULLSHIT ABOUT POWER FC'S

THE RUMOR HAS BEEN AROUND FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW AND I STILL SEE PLENTY OF POWER FC'S AROUND.

cheers

wel there is a whole other thread about the pfc's being discontinued but anyay, what ecu you use really depends on your tuner. if your tuner recommends wolf then use wolf. if they use microtech use microtech. this applies even if the pfc isn't being discontinued.

omg ... the PFC's are some peoples life. they love to talk all day about how good they are etc etc...

I feel maybe some suicides watch is in order...

It's the same reason the Wolf V400 was discontinued, no more chips.

there are still dozens of pfc's for sale second hand

you just can't buy any new, well some suppliers may have say 1 or 2 in stock

but no new units are being made, the nec processor used is end of life from NEC so they had no choice, it is unclear if apexi will somehow use another processor type, they did for the fd3 rx7 which has the 78f4 cpu instead of the older (out of date) 78p3 cpu. so unsure at this stage.

its not like all powerfcs just magically blew up yesterday, its just its not for sale brand new for the three gtst models

I have been trying to get my hands on a PFC for the last week. No one has them anymore (RB25DET)

I'd say that's pretty good proof

I got an email from a supplier in Japan saying that whateva stock is out there is whats left - the "new" version I was advised will be available mid next year.

P.S anyone got one they don't want anymore!

[paulr33]

see if these guys have stock (ring them)

[msnismo]

Thanks Paul!

Tried all the Ebay ones - all sold.

JPS is the one who advised about the release date of the next version for the RB25DET and he is also out!

Thinking that yahoo japan auctions is bout the only place left

[paulr33]

can you post the email u got from jps?

[msnismo]

can you post the email u got from jps?

Crap I have already deleted it! I will get him to resend it. He mentioned that he had 20 on backorder and they are all taken (was one left yesterday morning but by the time I saw the email was too late!) and after that there was no more till mid next year with the new release.

Il post the email when I get it resent!

[sinistaGTR]

get one while you still can there the bomb

[SirRacer]

have a look at an ecu called a linkg3. its the newest link on the market and for the price is very competitive.

[Guest 40th-edition]

i have been chassing them down since i got the car... but all going fast, might just wait 4 the new model.

got no money any ways

[msnismo]

Alright, I just managed to purchase one on ebay for ECR33 - this seller had 3 left (well now 2) a little bit dearer but meh!

Cost me $1095.00 + $16.00 delivery. I am definitely too impatient to wait until next year for one! Delivery expected of b/orders within the next 2-4 weeks.

Microtech LTX12s is what i will be using in mine

Ive ran Microtechs on my prevoius cars and they have been fantastic - dont listen to the rubbish of they use more fuel - it just means the tuner hasnt done their job properly
