now that the power fc is gone (or going) what ecu's do people on this forum recommend?? mind you its for a rb25det

i have been in one running a microtech and it seems to do the trick, but any other suggestions wold be good.

cheers

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.

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

yep and i just read it and what proof is there...you have just shown me what other forums are talking about....so untill there is proof im still waiting....

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if apexi will somehow use another processor type, they did for the fd3 rx7 which has the 78f4 cpu instead of the older (out of date) 78p3 cpu.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 :P

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!

see if these guys have stock (ring them)

there should be quiet a large array of them in circulation 2nd hand u just gotta find them

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

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!

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

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
