Usually most things from north qld are just all boganised.

Hi , definitely more interested now that we know that it can run off a hotwire AFM . BTW can they run the same range of Nissan MAF's like the PFC can ie Z32 and Q45 .

I am interested to know if they can use the later type pump cell oxygen probes .

Lastly can they be set up as a stand alone and run a generic loom . I need a programmable MAF based unit to run a mid 80's Subaru Turbo 4 (RX-L series) , it uses an optical distributor/CAS unit so much like some Nissans of the era .

Cheers A .

very intrested in how it compares ot the new v500 from wolf. as i know my mechanic has one running a soarers auto gearbox and many other nice bit and pieces.

at 1900 for the wolf they are in similiar price ranges and both aussie made products. very intrested which ones come out looking the best

AFM's can be selected from a table (i asked this question especially for you)

a generic unit with a plug and wire in loom is available

This country is full of clever people...heck some smart people even live in QLD :thumbsup:

Ray Hall knows his stuff, I was wondering what happened when all the Autronic support collapsed in a heap. Poor old Richard Aubert will actually have to talk to people for a change.

From my 4 years using an Autronic plug in for my old STi, the 20+years of knowledge Ray displayed in support of that product was impressive to say the least.

This should be an impressive bit of kit, particularly because it's plug in.

Loving the gear selected boost, flat shift, launch control and knock control features. Address's all the failings of the PFC!!

my thoughts exactly....

these features are also why it needs some sort of hand controller

Sounds like a good ecu, but 1 thing I really like about my pfc that this unit doesnt have (at the moment??) is a hand controller. I have never ever used my pfc hand controller to actually tune at all, but it is extremly usefull to use it as a data monitor and diagnostic tool. Since having a pfc I would never trust a standard Nissan temp gauge!. Some sort of "mini dash" or display with similar capabilities, would be a great idea.

Good to see some new aussie inginuety!!

What defines a "better" ecu. Sure there are shitloads of pudas out there that can out feature the power fc But in the real world the average modded car isnt capable of taking advantage of the extra available.

What sets the pfc apart from all others is its generic nature. It is (or was) priced very reasonably and can pretty much be tuned at your local cafe, An ecu that can be serviced at about any major centre in the country holds far more appeal to me than one that requires product specific knowledge to get the best from it.

That is not to say there isnt a place for the higher spec ecu's, far from it, big hp builds require a lot of management and that is where products like this one come in to their own.

I hope its everything you claim and you have great success with it DG. For me, I am running around 500rwhp on a highly modded 25 and doing it very safely with an fc. I see no reason to change.

I think this new system sounds like it has real potential , where it should get sales is from new installs .

I have a PFC in my R33 and I'm in no hurry to remove it , the Subaru needs something better than it's ancient non tunable factory management so I'm all ears .

For me the greatest stumbling block with programmable engine management was the ability to interface with the various CAS devices and being able to run off a Hotwire AFM . If someone local can put together a system that is a plug in for popular makes AND has a generic loom for conversion work the it should do well in the local market .

I think its questionable to state that system X can make better power than system Y , its down to the tuning parameters and the persons ability to give the engine what it wants .

The nice things are accurate idle and cold start functions and being able to handle rapid transients .

Fast 02 probe systems and effective knock control are a must in this day and age - face it the factory does it so the aftermarket should be able to as well . I don't see them as a band aid for poor tuning but they could be enabled afterwards just to keep things workable with poor juice or some other issue .

Will it be possible to pre purchase a copy of the software and instructions for this unit ?

For me it would be a 4 injector 1/2/4 coil system , cheers A .

Just so everyone is aware. Even if this unit does not come with a hand controller, Mountain Runner does an awesome data logging/viewer which can be wired into any system.

ahh yes...he does...top quality unit too with lots of features.

I will be a guniea pig for this if needed.

Have a r32 gts-t. And have a rb30det sitting in a shead waiting to go in. Using a series 2 head and i have a pfc to go with it.

Features of this thing sound good so will sell pfc and give this a go

I am running a PFC and quite happy with it but been considering the option of a Link, this sounds much like the Links but even better and Australian designed - awesome!

Cant wait to see some hard data once its being tested

any updates on this thing?

Email from the National distributor

"Hi Paul,

I am still waiting on final specs and features to be made available. Very soon. I have been assured I will be the first to get one of these things - You will be soon after. This will be by the end of the month. Cheers"

wont be long :)

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
