Air temp comp goes some way, better than the power fc in that regard, but as Paul says, I just want that added comfort - other than dud fuel, you could get fouled plugs, esp if you are running colder heat range - I really is comforting to know that IF it happens, you will be aware of it before damage is done - I know alot of people do without them, but now that I am used to it, I wouldnt have it any other way.

Just think Paul, if you had a decent knock sensor, you could run your 411rwhp without worry:D

Oh, and please dont think I am having a go at Wolf, from the sounds it is a bloody awesome ECU and goes alot further than the power fc - but I have spoken to some people in SA, including the rep, and they either didnt know much about the ecu, or didnt want to touch it.

If I still lived in the west, there would probably be a power fc for sale;)

Maybe some people here in SA should organise a group buy and get Steve to come over to fit, set up and tune them???? Not as silly as it sounds.

If there were people interested, I would definately be looking at an upgrade - but I want a knock sensor!

Thanks guy's for the imput. I bought the Wolf ecu last Friday or should i say i stole it for $800 brand new in the box.

The guy i bought it from had spent approx $20,000 grand on his car with a speed shop in Brisbane, and got taken for a ride.

I do not think they are that "Fast and Furious" after all. I believe the courts will be sorting that out.

I have not bought the Apexi avcr as it is still on his car and is needed to keep it running at this stage. He will converting the car back to standard.

So as i understand it, I do not need it? (AVCR) Does the wolf use the factory bleed valve to control boost levels?

Bl4cK32, sell the AVCR, and recoupe some of the cost:)

I spoke to Mildrens a few months ago, they said they didnt know much about the Wolf for R33, and to check with SST! Hopefully they have it sorted now.

And I just thought of a really good reason to buy wolf - one that everyone has missed, Sequential Idle - sounds tuff as hell (really, really tuff), and it even cools the engine:)

Gotta have my intake of rice with the Avcr - i'll keep it and run the wolf with boost turned off ;)

Mildrens reckon it'd be about 500 for the tuning. Joel spoke to them so he knows more than me :D They only released the 32 version as well as the r33 in like April? Both would be similar to tune I assume?

Rotational idle? What is that?

I've only every heard of stepper motor control which is apparently a good feature for ecu's.

EDIT: I forgot to mention the blokes from Wolf have been watching this thread.. :D

Rotational idle wouldn't be that hard to implement would it? If they put that in along with a knock sensor that would be a very good reason to upgrade from PowerFC to Wolf :D

Edit: Hmm, in the thread linked to below, GTS-t VSPEC says the Wolf does support rotational idle? So does it or doesn't it?

JimX, It's not a direct feature that Wolf advertise, but it is something that can be implemented with a decent tuner, Steve has even setup a couple ferraris to run rotational idle:D

It's good that Wolf are following this thread, we'd love to give them some positive feedback and encourage them to add features which will make choosing the Wolf even more desirable:D

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
