i too was looking at a haltech interceptor unit but then i found that i could use an A'Pexi power FC as mine is a manual series2, A) it was cheaper than the haltech B)it was easy to install and tune(once i got the secret squirrel tweak) C) it has more data points for tuning so very flexible for all levels of tuning and finally D) i had a lot of trouble with supply of the haltech unit from my local distributor as he was very vague about how he would tune the car on a 2 wheel dyno.

as the stagea is not like some other cars where you can just yank a fuse out and its all good. doesn't work that easy and the end result could be horrendously expensive too!!!!!!

just my 2 cents

How much is the Haltech?

S/hand R34 power FC are now approx $1200-1400

New, if you can get one are $1500-1800

Just remove the front drive shaft to tune in RWD

I'm using an SAFC and just (FINALLY) found and bought a apexi SITC (for timming control) of ebay from Japan this morning. Which should be here next week. Haven't actually had the car on the Dyno yet to properly tune the SAFC but its working pretty well so far (Had a wide band sensor at the time and did a quick street tune). I'm hoping once the SITC arrives and I'm installing my FMIC this weekend I'll get it on the dyno and get some good numbers but more importantly better fuel economy!!! The safc is very easy to use and any tuner should be able to work with it easially seeing as there are so many out there (if they can't I'd be finding another tuner). I would recomend though that you try and find an SITC as well so you can adjust and correct the timming seeing as the SAFC is a voltage bender your timming will be automatically affected. Do a search on the topic as SK has a similar setup (but for fuel he's using a Jaycar DFA which is the same thing really) in his stagea and has a pretty detailed write up about it all. Considering the ease of install and use I would definately recomend it for auto stagea users

SAFC-II

SITC

Z32 AFM

040 Bosch fuel pump

Nismo Fuel Pressure Regulator

Slide highflow turbo

190rwkw with HuGeLy restrictive rear muffler.......... excellent fuel economy too. Hiflow muffler would net me another 20rwkw Im sure.

Jaycar EBC

Jaycar DFA

Apexi SITC

HKS SLD

Nismo cat back (very quiet)

Catco high flow cat

R34GTT SMIC

Pipercross panel filter

Feels like around 160 4wkw at the moment

Plus the following, after this weekend, since I have to remove it all to replace the cracked exhaust manifold

Performance Metalcraft split dump and engine pipe combo, Thermo wrapped of course

GCG Ball Bearing High Flow turbo, I have put the smaller compressor housing on it, as I want to make sure it looses nothing for towing.

Then a road tune by me, planning on running up to the max that the standard injectors, at standard pressure, can handle.

If I think it needs more power, then I will stick a bolt on Nismo FPR on it and turn up the fuel pressure.

That should test out the rumour that Stagea fuel pumps flow more that R33GTST fuel pumps.

The target always has been 200 4wkw (double what it had standard), so I will throw it on the dyno to confirm that the target has been achieved.

:rofl: cheers ;)

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
