Hey Paul,

Yes I have warranty card and the birth certifiicate.and velcro stickers, and the manual is in jap.

Very nice to drive with compared to stock, really smooth , But that may be the Tomei Pump and the Hks Gt-Rs helping too lol :D

Edited by gtstcoupe

those f**king flamin mongrels have increased there unit price fromm 882 - 1212

I will find out why and let you know, but it looks like these guys area no go now.

Why does this have to happen to me.

imagine how i am feeling right now

i will have the cash for it in a couple of weeks and now they have dogged me. Thats the thanks i get for helping them out with business

I emailed them last night, they told me us1200 del to aus, ive just emailed them back to say i still want the unit n cont but they wont be recieving thier shipment for 2 weeks. I dont want a 2nd hand one and this way i have a warrenty with it. They also said that they have a long waiting list so i asked politely cos im an aussie its hard to get in contact with them being the hours diff n when i work that if they could make sure i get 1 from this shipment. i hope this works!!!

Ive seen them on ebay for well over aus1350 so paying a little extra to make sure its new in the box with warrenty is worth it i believe.

Tell them to get f**ked and you will take your business else where

I have found others in similar price range from other apexi official dealers in the usa, i am sure you can too

This time i am going to keep quiet about it until i get one.

ha ha ha ive been searching and keep finding other shit n surfing, i can understand how they put the price up but i dont see why sooooooo much. Shit happens hey, the gov puts the prices up on juice for my car n i dont see how but it has to be done the reckon. The way i see it, in a years time or so the power fc unit will be 1200 without the controller. Im thinking more in the lines as an investment at the moment more then a toy to play with.

Because the pricks figured out that they cost bucket loads more over here eg 1500 second hand and then they got a mass flood of australians who want to order and they go :) Lets jack the price cause we know they are still better off and we can make a killing out of those kangaroo humping dundees

As my ol' man says, wod ya do, shit happens. As i said, im seeing it as an investment. Think of what houses were 5 years ago n the demand to them now. The way i see it, mine will cost about 2k for the unit n counting, but in the meantime i have something i can use to make my car better yet more efficient whilst having fun. Im trying to be the devils advocate i spose. Yeah its a dof the up'd the price but tell me another unit that would do the same. Ive researched a bit about ecu's n found that this is one of the very better ones. Im happy to pay the price for it, if people dont understand why, fair enough but im going to be having one whilst they dont. I think i come out the winner IMO.

Sounds to me like you're trying to convince yourself more then us :banana:

The price was one of the main points too... if it hits 2k at any point, might as well go Haltech or something...

yeah maybe your right, ive just heard such good reults from the power fc, honestly cant find much tuning info about the haltech. Im happy paying US1200 del for the results ive heard thruout this website n beyond. Im seem to find that alot of people are using these units n r happy with them. Im able to find more info on pwoer fs's then any other unit i believe available for my car n needs.

Hey Guys,

That so sucks, I wonder if its Direct tunning putting up the price or Apexi USA,

I am really hoping its not put up beacuse of the reasons we are thinking, If so i and all of us would be very very dissapointed in them :ermm:

$1200 is still good for new, But $1000 was better.

I may send an email and see what going of for you guys cause this really sucks,And makes me not happy Jan. :D

Well they replied back and said that they put it up because apexi was getting complaints from other companys about direct tunings low price " allegedly"

Anyways my persistant searching has paid off and i have found one unit for even less then there previous great price. So when i have purchased hopefully goes through today if anyone is interested pm me and i will tell you who they are etc...

But not until i sought myself out first this time :(

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
