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! :P

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 :P

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.

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

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.. :ermm: should be a good combination.. got 245's on the rear.. hope it doesnt fry them to bad :P 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

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
