Hey guys

Just want some opinions on whether or not i should get a Power FC for my GTR.

I initially bought the car with "bone stock" in mind but again like before i think the mod bug has hit me again. But i dont wanna go crazy and spend too much.

I am aiming for around 200rwkw with stock boost. I dont want to run anymore than standard boost but i want that sort of figure. Is this achievable with just a 3 inch exhaust from the front pipes back with metal cat and just a PFC and 10psi? Or is it still recommended that i get a boost controller?

If this is possible i may go this way as less boost = more reliable

Opnions? Thanks!

14-15psi nets around the 250rwkw mark.

So i cant see it being impossible, more very possible... and with even less than you listed :cheers:

I reckon it could be done on the stock ECU.

Exhaust (and dumps)

10psi

Adj cam gear

Then and someone that knows what they are doing with the cam timing etc.... and you'll have 200rwkw i would safely bet.

fwiw my R33 GTR went 180kw at the wheels with nothing but a 3.5" exhaust (Kakimoto N1), compliance cat, std air filter panel and stock boost (being bled off via a leaking plenum). Looking at the ECU it may have been modded though (Japanese writing engraved across the label).

I'm pretty sure you'd get 200 with the mods nismoid suggested, exhaust, better cat, better panel and take out the boost restrictor.

Cheers

haha yeah - what the!?

that reminds me of my ridiculous posts on a commodore forum - because you had to have a minimum number of posts before you could sell in the trader forum. e.g.

"Yes there is a good chance it will work"

"Definitely...unless it's not what you're after"

etc etc ;)

if you're sticking with stock boost and less mods overall, it might be better to spend the money on cams and a SAFC than a pfc?

hey Phil,

like "made-guy' says, if your gonna just want those simple mods then it might be better to get an SAFC and boost controller. The safc will let ya adjust fuel corrections to lean/rich your tune as needed. The PFC would be a more complete option if you are considering further mods.

I guess it comes down to what you want

you are on 200kw's + if you know where the little restrictors are ! your Standard ECU will learn this power not a problem!

Get a PFC if you want a plug and play upgrade for bigger turbos and around the 250 260 + kilowatt's

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
