Hi ;) guys my name is Chris, and I'm new to the site and Queensland, moved here from the UK in February. I dont actually own a skyline, but my son - in -law does, he also runs a site in the UK called Pistoncruisers.com, which is a modified car club, of which i am a member.

I'm looking for some parts for his car which he is having trouble finding, dont know if you guys can help, he has a R33 GTS-T . photos attached. he is looking for apexi power fc .post-44821-1196037549_thumb.jpgpost-44821-1196037577_thumb.jpg

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

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
