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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
