In melbourne so pretty spoilt for tuner choice actually :ermm:

Not really a concern unless it blows up ..And i have no clue ,so learning one will be as easy as learning the other

Real concern is which is the better ECU, or are they both capable units..If they are both as good as each other would probably rather get the new one as Scott said so im not relying on s/h parts..

(which is kind of hypocritical as everything in my car is s/h :D )

Is the e420 a lemon compared to PFC and the new e1280 or is it simply not as good. or does nobody really know cause nobody wants to try it...I mean its only got handle a bigger turbo and injectors, not alot really

Its not a lemon, its just not as nice a hardware package as the e1280, im still out to town on the e420 connectors but we still tune alot of e420's in 4age's and we have done a turbo mx5 with one never had any issues other than the connectors on some older ones.

my preferences are e1280s first, pfc second, e420 third and nistune last in this application. If it was a R34 or any other nissan nistune would be top choice for your mods.

As it turns out adaptronic is 1250 with loom and map, which isnt under a grand at all :D

So not only is the PFC tried and tested its cheaper too... :P

And i really cant find any complaints about it, whereas I've found a few on the others..

Problem solved :P

For a 6 cylinder engine the e420 is not ideal because it only does sequential injection and ignition for 4 cylinders. you have to run 6 cylinders with waste spark and semi sequential injection (which means that 2 or 3 of your cylinders will get fuel when the intake valve is CLOSED, this is inefficient).

I would never go an ECU that didn't have at least 6 ignition and 6 injector drivers on an RB. PFC all the way.

Looked into nistune but on an R33 it's too much jerking around. The only thing I don't like about PFC is no knock retard. a minor issue but something i wish it had.

Thanx

So thats what it means, i kept reading it but had no idea what it meant exactly. Seems crazy..

Does that mean it would run fine as a v8 ecu?

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      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

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
