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.

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
