why would you use a power fc, its expensive and has worse features and less resolution than somthing like ummmm and ADAPTRONIC?

Power FC = failbus

24x24 map is like the atari of ECUs

i think you might earn a commission of adaptronic :blink:

im currently just looking at prices, but id be lying if i say im not keen on the pfc :ermm:

explain why immediately. we all demand to know the reason behind this silly talk, the design of a power fc is probably older than you are!

and the reason i reccomend adaptronic is because i bought one on a reccomendation, i was suspicious having never heard of it, then it blew me and anyone else who has touched it away! Plus the fact that the guy who built the things is only a phone call away is a massive bonus

thats exactly my feelings - ive never heard of it,

whereas the pfc is used in countless countless cars - and is also more readily available to be tuned

because we all know im not going to efi for the adaptronic, as good as they might be at tuning it, it wouldnt be appropriate lolz

They are on a lot of cars because they are old, reltively few people are buying them new now

Sit down and compare the features and you will find that the power FC sucks ass compared to the new haltech series, the links, the vipec, wolf and indeed adaptronic

And every tuner i have spoken to in Brisbane has tuned adaptronics and comment that its easy as piss! Kai zen garage like I said installs and tunes them for $1100 , look on the secret drift forums and see how many people are using them, they are also very popular in the US for the 'miata' crowd.

If you look objectively at the features im sure at the very least you will find Power FCs are gay, and in all likelyhood you will find that in a 4cyl application adaptronic cant be beat, especailly given the price

The datsun 180b was the highest selling car in Australia in 1973...doesnt mean its anygood now :blink:

I think a lot of people still use PFC mainly due to the availability of tuners and not wanting to pay extras for stuff/functions you dont use. At least thats the reason why I went the pfc way.

firstly i <3 a cronicly set up miata

and secondly i hear what you're saying andy - and im going to do some more reading/researching

Kai zen garage are in brisbane yeh? ive never come in contact with them before

and you are right - 1100 fitted and tuned is freaking hard to beat, and deliciously awesome :blink:

I hear that argument brandon, but in this case the Power FC is neither cheaper nor better! And every tuner i have spoken to finds the interface for the adaptronic a lot easier than the power fc. When i chose i talked to my perferred tuners first and got thier recommendations, Tristan should do the same, im not trying to be a prick i just really hate seeing people waste thier hard earned!

yeeh cheers man :blink:

Tristan, Kaizen garage isnt a big outfit but he is starting to get a name, he really only does adaptronics, but has done a lot of work in the drift scene. I could also contact my mate? he has one running his r33 he could show you, and should be able to install it and supply it really cheap then you can get it tuned anywhere you like!

man that'd be pretty sweet hey

let me organise my injectors and then we'll talk more seriously :blink:

FINALLY! Finish that freaking estimate. Hahaha managed to find my own mistake thats worth 50k. :blink:

I'm surprised that bloody rotary shit talk is still going on. After page 7 or so its just repeating itself. Harrys burger tomorrow night???

Bunta: Yea 1100 is a very nice price for that package.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
