At the end of the day you should select a tuner who has greatest experience in the ECU you would like. Or, if you know someone that you want to tune your car, he will make a recommendation in what he feels he can tune correctly (if he is honest).

Whether is uses MAP sensors of AFMs is does not matter at all, if the tune is right there is no noticable difference when you are driving.

PFC is a great ECU especially for a street car does exactly what you need but personally there are other ECUs that can do things better. For example, I chose a Vipec V88 one of the reasons being it has knock control which I think is essential (my opinion).

Read every post but do not take any of it as gospel, people have opnions (sometimes very strong ones) and that over shadows a lot of truths and factual information. Do your research by talking to different tuners and make a decision based on what you want out of an aftermarket ECU and weighing up the pro's and con's of each.

Good luck,

Mike

3. Make sure that ECU at least is semi-common so if you have an issue later, you can switch tuner without much issue

Thats the main reason why ill be going power FC. I know if i hit a snag some1 will have had the same thing happen.

Nistune/remap same soft of thing. Extra $200 in getting nistune setup but its great had it in my 32 gtst and will be using it in my gtr

I tune for a living and am happy to do all 3, NISTUNE (3 or 4 week, but mostly s13), WOLF ( about 3-4 week) and POWERFC (about 6 -10 week) BUT for your application POWERFC for sure. It has the best aftermarket support ie can be tuned anywhere. The wolf V5 is not a bad piece of kit but after doing quite a few i think the extra cost is not worth it over a PFC.

PFC FTW

agreeing with Trent ^ Power FC is great for your application, i have run a power FC on a 300kw GTR with nismo AFM and was great, the only reason i went to autronic was cause of AFM's on a single set up, and cause at the time i couldnt find a d-jetro but would certainly look at one now and am actually considering going back to power fc just for the ease, and more than anything the handcontroller gibves you everything you need on a simple display.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
