hahaha.. lol.. I guess your looking for a bit more then a laugh arnt you...

obviously plug and play meaning you dont have to go through the hassle of getting the tuner to chop up your loom to wire in the E-manage or Haltech thus creating a large bill at the end of the day

Thread needs more nuts and bolts.

P.S I love andy

sexy

there are plug in looms for haltechs now, making a power fc even more redundant

+1

a pfc should never be tuned with just a HC

Also PFCs are f*cking ancient. Do these people run 486s with their 18k dial up modems to connect to the interwebs as well?

you know where ill be when u get peckish

Oh tru? That might help decide.

What elso might help decide is I haven't found an antenna cable to hook up the TV yet :P

:rofl2:

Also vipec plug ins :domokun: There's simply no good reason to buy a PFC any more

I'd like to do things on the cheaper side for RIGHT NOW, but I can save for a PFC or whatever.

Obviously it's not simply plug in and boost your nuts off, but it does sound like a better option (so much easier to wire in hahaha). Then drive sedately to wherever/whoever to get a proper tune.

Other option I was leaning towards was a Nistune... even easier... and I can't see me adding too much extra in the future, so its an option.

Really all I want is more torque in the lower RPM range... It's only a streeter so I'm not fussed up high, cause it rarely gets to go at full song... I'd just like to be pushed back in my seat sooner :domokun:

Thanks for the PM too Tas

Even some model of SAFC would be able to give me a boost down low... for a far sight cheaper still. Any comments on SAFC/2 performance? It's only about 5 wires to splice in isn't it?

I dodnt think they control timing? Timing is what will give the greatest gains down low

agreed, and well priced too

go nistune or haltech or vipec, oh and im sure andy will rave about adaptatronic (or whatever its called) :domokun:

Also vipec plug ins :domokun: There's simply no good reason to buy a PFC any more

two good reasons and only two

Price point and the amount of people who can tune them, with ease.

Second point is of no use unless you've picked one up cheap.

If you only paid what they're worth (SFA), it's a far better option than a stock ECU, don't you think?

Thread needs more nuts and bolts.

I had to grinder the nuts and bolts holding the lawn mower blades on. Stupid rusty POS

but I can save for a PFC or whatever

Save for anything other than a PFC

my GTR came with a power FC it eats me up inside everyday knowing that my car is run by the atari of the ecu world

LOL. big <3

Sell of it to one of the many nuggets who still think they are the ducks guts, and then buy a real ecu.

I wouldn't bother.. very limited tuning from an SAFC

agreed, and well priced too

adaptronics are only great in 4cyl applications at this stage, but for 4cyl they cant be beat!

thats the plan the power FC and the two z32 AFMs should pay for about half of the ECU i want

Finding a tuner is a minor issue. GOOD tuners can tune more than just PFCs. It's just a matter of finding a GOOD tuner that can tune your ECU of choice.

As for price, meh, they all seem way overpriced to me for what they are. But yeah if you get one for a good price, definitely better than a stock ECU of course.

Most tuners I talk to now dislike the power fc because the tuning software is old and shit too, was good 10 years ago, but a lot has changed since then

Of course most are over priced, but say you paid what they're worth ($500 with HC) than paying $1500? for something much, much better.

EG: my basic car, 500 + tuning seems more appealing than 1500 + tuning

    • 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.
    • 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
