Hey guys,

Did a search, nothing i was looking for.

Was wondering how do you guys mount your PFCs??

Theres a bracket to bolt up the standard ecu, but the pfc doesn't have the screw holes for the bracket to bolt up to.

so...yea how do you guys do it? cable ties? duct tape?

Just trying to save myself 50bux....

much appreciated

I just used the bottom part of the bracket from the old ECU and then used the supplied velcro (about 3 big bits) to stick it to that. Works well, seems secure enough.

Sand back the purtruding bolt washer, so that the pfc can be put on the bracket inside on the original bracket then use double sided tape to put the ecu on. Bolt up bracket as normal.

If that makes any sense.. Basically both parts of the original bracket can be used.

was about to unbolt the brackets assembly...until something else hit me...

what about the controller cable? did you guys drill a small hole for it on the top bracket?

....i don't have anything here since i moved house...

if thats the case then guess will just pay the 50 bux...

was more worried about time spent tuning it than the 50 as the place is only going to open for 3 hours on saturday.

If the tuner installs it + tune...do you guys think it can all be done well in 3 hours time?

ok sweet...still...i don't see how it'll fit without drilling holes in the top bracket for the commander cable

if time runs out i might just passenger floor it too...

haha..that is povo tho...

i got mine 2nd hand (so no velcro) just before the prices rocketed thru...wtf hey? i saw a 2nd hand on ebay going for 1400.....

its like 100% profit tax free... but love for powerfc overcame monetry gains.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
