hey all,

currently trying to get my power fc tuned and the tuner has advised me that my power fc for r34gtt has a version (same as other pfc's afm's n all) which does not interface with his datalogit or software.(he has tuned other r34gtt's but diff version pfc)

now has anybody had this issue before??? if so how did they overcome it?

he has contacted apexi...but god knows when they will reply with a fix.

cheers, Bass

Weird.. send me a PM, bring your car over and I will connect my datalogit to it to test it if you like.

i wouldn't bother contacting apexi. why would they care if their ecu doesn't work with a non supported, 3rd party application?!?!

if anyone he should be contacting datalogit.

contact fcdatalogit in nz.....

by clicking here

and they will send a patch for the software to your tuner... all gtst/gtt are the same so it should be fine...

also it it his laptop or yours? the problem could also be the usb-serial converter software :rofl:

I had this issue pop up once before. The tuner could connect a R33 but the version he had wouldn't connect to my R34. He ended up doing the tune on the hand controller then the next time I had it retuned after a IC install he had the update and it connected fine.

welll see thats what he is planning to do...he is going to tune on his own powr fc (he owns a r34 gtt) and then save the map and re-write through the handcontroller.

he has began tuning...so we will see how it goes.

ive contacted datalogit...and am awaiting a reply for the update.

til then any help would be great.

thanks again.

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
