Your car will lose signiicant power if the PFC is tuned for those modifications.

Also running the bigger turbo with stock management is a dangerous proposition unless you baby the car everywhere (dont go WOT or take the revves above about 3.5k) as you risk detonation and engine failure. If you put the stock turbo back on the car would run fine (if a little rich).

Why do you want to remove the PFC?

Thanks heaps guys for the quick repleys and help...

Not sure if im 100% gonna remove the Power fc but my brothers mate offered me $1200 for the computer and hand held controller but i'll probably just leave it the way it is cos i do love my car and dont have the money for any engine rebuild lol

Keep in mind if you can sell the PFC for 1200 and get a stock ecu thrown in you can get toshi (search the traders forum for 'toshi') to remap you standard ECU for around $400 which is a very good option. It will be fine for the mods you have (and as its very hard to detect you wont get defected for it) the only downside is the PFC will be better if you want to do many more power mods in the future (bigger turbo, AFM, injectors, etc).

likely the car will run like a bag of shit with the ATMO BOV.

260rwhp is only 190rwkw, which for a turbo like that is a pretty poor result.

I'd expect closer to 300rwhp at least, and 350rwhp with injectors/AFM

So you wouldnt loose much power right power, would be a bit rougher to drive however as tune could have cleaned it up a bit

I was told that was about the right amount off power for the car as the injectors and fuel setup a still stock...

Also the t4 turbo i have isnt much bigger then the stock turbo, I'm not sure myself im only going on what the previous owner told me.

Its not about right :)

You can take factory injectors to around 220-230rwkw. Every car is different. I made 220rwkw on stock 25 injectors years ago with a T04e, int gated rear.

If its not visibly much bigger than the factory one, then it probably isnt a T04.

Generally a T04 will come with the .7A/R Garrett Comp cover

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
