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.

joshwa has shot gun on my spawn. sorry u can be next..

830 thanks greenline and shanef

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

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
