I'm on the verge of completing my build, all parts have been purchased and I'm just waiting on delivery of my injectors and fuel pump. Unfortunately I live in a fairly remote place and we don't have the facilities that the larger cities have particularly in regard to getting your vehicle tuned. Anthony Rodriguez will be here some time this week I believe but my parts won't have arrived so I'm missing out on a fantastic opportunity to get my 34 tuned. I'll probably have to wait another six months before he or someone of similar calibre returns.

Ok enough background, My build is something that has been done time and time again so I was wondering is there some common power fc settings that I can use in the mean time untill one of the more recognised tuners return to my area???

My build consists of the following:

- Nismo 600cc injectors

- Nismo fuel pump

- Trust adjustable cam gears

- 2860-5s x 2

- Blitz EBC

- full trust/greddy exhaust including front and dump pipe extention kit and titanium cat back, also no cat.

- power fc

- Z32 x 2

- Apexi pods

- Stock R34 cooler

Engine has just received full 100,000k service including all new belts, plugs, water pump, etc but has never been rebuilt so internals are all still stock.

Any common power fc settings would be much appreciated...

Forgot to add: The power fc is currently tuned to an almost stock setup. When it was initially tuned the car still had stock turbos, injectors, fuel pump, AFMs, air box and cam gears. So the only mods were full exhaust and boost controller I think and it pumped out 255RWKW with maxed out AFMs. The turbos will be fitted next week along with the remainder of the new parts I've acquired.

read the PFC FAQ

perform DATA INIT

set injector correct (in the FAQ)

set afms from the menu

check other sensors

start car and perform base idle (in the FAQ)

baby around until full tune

then drive to tuner when you are ready and get it tuned

Thanks heaps for that Paul I'll go through the FAQ and perform those adjustments as suggested.

My issue that there isn't a suitable tuner in the remote area in which I live and they only come up say every 3 to 6 months and he's coming this week but my car won't be ready as the injectors and fuel pump are still on the way. So unless I got one of the local mechanics with very little or no experience to tune it then I'm going to have to wait the 3 to 6 months (probably closer to 6) without the car being tuned.

So I guess my question is there any more specific settings that are common to my setup with the 2860 -5's that I can configure the power FC with so it will run safely for the next few months until I can get it tuned by a professional??? Or is what I'm asking just not really possible as each car is simply too individual to be using other vehicles settings even with the same engine, turbos, AFM's etc???

Each car is pretty specific mate.

things like ambient temps, boost levels, ambient pressure/sea level etc etc all pose factors that really make things difficult for someone just to 'give' you something.

It can be as simple as cam gear settings. What is best for one car, might not be the best for the next.

    • Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out
    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
