picked up PFC for $800 secondhand for my old 32 GTR about 3 years ago, got a PFC for the S14 new from japan delivered for $1250 about 2 years ago.

surely it can't go up in price.

sif run a PFC these days anyways when there's other ECU's with better sampling, non proprietary interfaces and allowance for many more ancillary switches and signals, including OBD emulation.

ecr33 gtst are out of production, but gtr arent. this was a year or so ago when apexi went bust

apexi isn't bankrupt. they're still carrying out business as usual. some smart sellers have used this excuse to bump up prices.

Apexi did reshuffle their powerFC lineup though. They relegated units for engines that were 10 years out of production to the Apex Engineering line, and only kept the ones newer than 10 years (hence RB26, SR20, RB25 Neo) in stock and available off the shelf. The older units are still available, but as special order at minimal extra cost.

just cos your agent can't be arsed putting in that order and then getting it to you, does not mean that it's not available or should be much more expensive.

damn straight.... if i was buying right now i'd go a vipec.... WANT... CYCLE... IDLE....

yeah why is it that ECR33 PFC more expensive than BCNR33 PFC ?

im guessing demand?

NEC stopped producing the chip used in the 25det unit

ecr33 gtst are out of production, but gtr arent. this was a year or so ago when apexi went bust

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
