maybe ur ecu retuned itself and undid the safc?? well i don't really know how those things work .. but it seems for me the longer i drive about without resetting the ecu... the better my economy ... i get about 480 pertank now .. and thats when the lights just start flashing so i've got at least another 50ks left ... its about the only good thing about having a stock as rock car LOL .. and thats on bp 95 premium ..

Rob,

I wonder if your oxy sensor has shat itself? A fresh set of plugs (or a clean if they're big $ plugs) is on the cards, as they'd be fouled for sure.

I'm sure Martin & the Morpowa guys will rectify the problem.

I believe that Hikari has 2nd Hand Power FCs for $1,100 .... I'm seriously thinking about it.

Im seriously advising people against buying 2nd hand FC's.

I've been burnt, and will share the story once it has been concluded.

Lets just say the Magistrate might be invited into a discussion I'm having with a particular shop (Not Hikari).

Dude, that sucks. Electronics usually are pretty reliable - no moving parts. Was the problem there when you bought it or did it arise down the track?

Alot of people buy second hand without dramas (including myself, got a second hand power fc), so maybe its just that if you buy second hand, either get a written guarantee, test it on the spot (doesnt take much to plug in a power fc) or make sure you get it checked out before paying. Cos its a good way to save dollars:)

I am pretty sure hikari will offer a guarantee that it works when they sell them anyways. I am getting a fuel pressure reg off him and he told me I have 30 waranty.

I've bought a second hand Blitz SBC-iD Boost controller that looked bran-new from Hikari. That was over a year maybe a year and a half ago and its still working fine.

You will always get problems here or there with items you buy be it new or second hand. Just hardley ever do you get problems with warranty. Thats when it sucks.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
