sorry for possible thread hijack but.. I also Have R34 GTT with Apexi PFC (Standard not PRO - so no spark cut or 2 stage launch control)

I am interested in getting a *Bee-R mostly for 2-stage and the 'hektic sounds' :whistling: but i have some concern over possible engine damage :s

Hektic sounds are great. Throwing a rod is not. What do you want more, a running engine? Or some flames to impress your mates.

I feel that its different in the smallest way. But I feel what peopel are saying is to do is to just have flames and a loud bang bang sound doesn't make sense. It will kill the motor really fast. Anti lag systems depending on what kind will kill the motor faster and I can sit here and list a few parts that will surely fail. But real question at hand, is it worth it.? Ill be doing a anti lag system soon and surly not for the sound. Put it simple I want to win a prize next year and just forking out the cash would be easy to do, but the challenge is using a car to win the prize. Its more than just a tangible prize though.

In short I do agree that these devices speed up the destruction of the vehicle's engine. I hope its worth it.

Oh I remember the old days of piggy backs before it took me years to learn just to get a new ecu that can do it. Lol. I never thought it would be this beneficial. All the other stuff was just a bonus.

I don't know if power fc uses ignition cut.

My response was in regards to the post above mine where it was said, how one can be safe and the other not.

Ignition cut is hektik and makes more than your exhaust go bang.

Fuel cut generally speaking better for the motor.

Power FC uses fuel cut, Power FC PRO uses ignition cut.

The way i understand fuel cut can cause lean condition but ignition cut can damage turbo and exhaust system.

Is cutting both a better idea for rev limiter? (Obviously no good for launch control) or would it be a very harsh power cut?

I don't understand how this can be the case.. petrol has a very narrow window of air/fuel mix where it will ignite. if you are leaner than say 17:1 then it will not fire. fuel cut cuts ALL fuel. The only way you could get fuel into the combustion chamber is if it were left over from the previous combustion event. pretty unlikely to be enough fuel to make a flammable mix. when an ECU cuts fuel to a cylinder it needs to decide before opening the injector, it would be pretty f**king stupid for an ecu manufacturer to put out an ECU that decided to stop fuel delivery mid-injection.

also, ignition cut and antilag are different things.

I like how people try to promote the Bee-r ignition cut system by saying its better for the engine to run overly rich than lean. As if somehow running lean for a fraction of a split second during fuel cut is worse than the massive shockwave ignition cut causes. Its practically a nuke version of detonation.

I never really set out to agree or disagree with you :)

But I think the bottom like here is the type of people who want the bee-r system only want it for the mad props effect. They don't really care about their car and are only in it to show off popping fire in front of girls, if the car dies then it dies and they move on to the next car they will abuse.

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
