Righto... Interesting comments...

Well the best thing to do it search the forums "for sale" sections for a pfc...

However that said there are very few round these days and the ones that are fetch top dollar as said above...

May also wanta check out ebay as they seem to get listed from time to time...

Welcome to Queensland mate!

good to see you like the right kinda car!

as for the mighty power FC.. hmm. try what the other guys said!

or ebay.. you may have to sell you first born to pay for it though.. demand has totally skyrocked!

I have seen a few for sale in the USA on the net.. hunt around.. u might get lucky! if you see 2 of them. buy em! lol!

So, now u live in Qld, you need to know a few things..

1: We talk a bit different here.. the slang may be hard for you to grasp sometimes! lol

2: We are, generally speaking a bunch of lazy bums!

3: y do it today? there is always tomoz!

4: hmmm.. too lazy to continue!

umm, what part of Qld do you live in anyhow?

Welcome welcome mummsie... when I saw the username I thought you were going to be some MILF with a wicked car :)

I managed to find just one supplier on ebay with a small stock of them for $1500 AU, which is only a little bit more expensive than they were a year ago (about $900). If that's what he wants then the extra $600 is worth it, it really is still a cheap little unit for what it does. IMHO they're not the be all and end all of aftermarket computers, but they certainly do their job well, we've got one of the R32 and it's been no end of help when we've been stuck in places with shit fuel, checking things like knock and tracking various other information. Hope you manage to get one for him!

Linky ;)Power FC to suit R33 GTST on ebay - ENJOY!

EDIT: I don't know why the link isn't working right now, it might work later, but in any case, just search www.ebay.com for the item number 320189150225

Yep, mine was $1500 brand new in box with Hand Controller JP Performance or something they are called. Nice blokes, kept in contact all the way thru the process, took 2 days to get to me from Japan via Fedex.

You're a pain in the ass Marki. And I don't believe a word of your $830 bullshit. But it doesn't stop me from wanting your babies :)

PS. I got mine for free. Read it and weep suckaz. Little dave from NSW gave it to me. I'm still trying to figure the best way to turn the screen blue haha and contrary to popular belief, blue cellophane doesn't work.

Well, I got my apexi out of a smash! $550 with map that wasn't too far from where it needed to be :D

But the Hand controller didn't make it... Had to buy one.. So I waited for another smash! And yep, got it for $150 delivered in its box with the manual!

But its not the end of the world if you miss out.. plenty of other ECU brands will happily take your $$$. Or just pull a stunt like i did!

Keep an eye out in the QLD Events section for stuff to do with other SAU people.. cruises, drags, skid pans, shopping.. check it out

      Engine sputter

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?

      That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
