Power Fc R33 Gtst

[SLYDA]

Well! after 6 weeks my powerfc has finally arrived at autobarn! pick it up next pay day lol... do u guys think $1540 for a australian delivered brand new latest version powerfc is to much? considering it has a australian warrenty etc ? i mean its nearly impossible to find one!

That is entirely the reason why my T04 turbo and external wastegate are still in the garage, and not on my car...

Suspension here I come!

Providing Apexia don't make a new one or something like that soon, you won't feel like an idiot... But even though it is one of the best ECUs for these cars, I am unwilling to pay that much for it...

I'm still jealous though

dude thats quite acceptable for a rb25 pfc. Specially considering it was via autobarn. Access Auto whom are the actual australian importer prolly couldn't do a better deal than that if they got there hands on a new one.

all other models you can pick up for the $900-$1000 mark but you will always pay more now days for a rb25 model.

Out of curiousity, how on earth did autobarn get you one? I work at Autobarn and i havnt been able to get one since mid last year

yeah 1500+ is the going rate if they can even get it, looks like most of the "new" ones are repaired warranty units anyway.

its really made the choice of computer for a skyline a lot more complex, used to be a no brainer at $900 including controller

Yeah they were the good old days, I remember having them sitting on the shelf at Autobarn all the time

Access Auto aparantally were able to get hold of a small quantity that had been manafactured in a small production run (or something) from japan. ive been waiting since the beginning of december mind u for it to get here (and harassing them once a week as to where it was).. but i been into autobarn... paid a $500 deposit (try and see them sell it to someone else now) haha... and seen it in its box so i knowwww its there.. prob the only autobarn in australia to have on right now though.. haha.. and i saw them on ebay for about $1560 (new) so i told em i wasnt going to pay much more for it than that... Access Auto aparantally got a big shipment of crap.. dunno how many power fc's were in that order but i got the impression there was a few. I also bought a GT3037 Pro S full bolt on ki with a 0.68 rear.. for $3450? i think it was.. should be a good combination.. got 245's on the rear.. hope it doesnt fry them to bad haha... (i didnt wanna pay that much considering a year ago they were around $1000) however... an item is worth what someone is willing to pay for it... and the less of them around, the harder they are to get so the more you pay if u want one.. i didnt really want a 2nd hand one with someones map already tuned in there.. (going to baby it for a lil while) dont get license back till october.. so i still need AFM Splitfire coils and injectors... nearly there though.

Have a look at linkecu.com and in particular the G3 model which is exceptional value for money. Its downfall is 4 ignition drivers, however im going to fix that with a 3 channel ignitor and running wasted spark which fixes the coil problem also.

I paid 115NZ for 3 brand new Mitsi evo coils + leads say 80 = 200

153 AU for the 3 channel amp

1269 AU for the computer with a Plug in RB loom

1623 for a computer of those specs and a much better ignition system! Sounds like a good idea to me, and thats coming from someone who use to swear by power fc's. You can run it in a wasted spark mode as is but i wouldnt do it.

no its pretty reasonable the aus delivered PFC"s were always a good $500 higher than then jap delivered ones

this was because it carries an australian backed warranty so the extra cost is there - they were $1500 even when normal PFC supply was there
