I'm sure you could swap with a place like niswreck or just buy one then sell yours, and o2 sensors arn't the end of the world.... I got my nistune suplied and re-mapped for $750.. and i actually took out my power fc to do so...

Power fc's are great but you must remember they are not calibrated for a forged motor... each forged motor that is hand built/ not as tight tollerences/ run in differently are essentially different motors have more or less piston rattle and can produce a different harmonic frequency.

nistune have far better knock protection over powe fc, keep all factory settings, cops cant see it, amd a hell of a lot cheaper.... im a really big fan

WTF are you on about?

You can tune a Power FC much the same as a stock ECU with Nistune. Your motor internals have no effect. Knock detection uses the same knock sensor regardless of PFC or Nistune.

But I too am a fan of Nistune :P

yes they are the same in the sence its a editable ecu... but as far as i am aware power fc does not have a knock map, where once knock has been detect above limits it hits knock map and retards 4degrees of timing???

also yes power fc uses knock sensors, yes nistune uses knock sensors but what good is both protection if you have piston rattle that may / or may not have same frequency as what nissan engineers spent many many hours putting a "STOCK" motor into severve detonation to record the frequency???

it was just a point i mentioned, as many people buy power fc because it has a live "knock count" and spend 5X as nistune but as many tuners have said to me as soon as you change the slightest thing eg, exhaust your changing the motor and possibly the harmonics.

another example people might have devoleped a knock count to find something loose in the engine bay to be the fault not detonation.

    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
    • Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
