I like the power fc, Haltech has no knock vs timing, Witch i dont like. My 2 cents.

depends on the haltech, the turbo 350z i just finished had fully functional closed loop knock control.... better than PFC or a factory remap.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I was under the impression that the Power FC has no knock control whatsoever.

I'd stay with the Autronic, Power FC's work but they are nothing flash, no options for alternate maps, no fully customisable outputs etc

Do they use stock knock sensors, or come with aftermarket ones? If so how effective is it, do you need to set the sensitivity to be quite conservative so it doesn't pick up engine noise, or would you say it is an effective safety feature?

Had Autronic, now PFC, noticeably different (eg, worse) than on Autronic.

Go Autronic.

interesting, what PFC i can generally get equivanlent results ie owner cant pick diff.

Factory sensors with fully programmable background noise, works real well did 3 hours solid on it (testing etc) and it works better than just about anything ive used.

autronic any day of the week i am going a sm4 in may car they will be the best money you will ever spend, a good ecu will save your motor with out safety features pressure sensors and data loggers you have no idea what is really happening and for the sake of $2500 to save a motor it is a small cost for piece of mind.

in no discredit do i meen this but just about every owner that walks through a shop door and spends money will all ways say it is just as good as the best or it is better because they have spent money on it, thats just the way people are i see it all the time.

its like those turbo fans in the intake.

I have a few spare female GTR ecu connectors you could have $20 + postage or pickup just wire it into the autronic and plug it in.... its how i do all my wire ins..... allows the cars loom to remain intact so it can be returned to std in minutes.

I was going to suggest this!

Status can you post a pic of the connectors you have, im interested!

Patch loom connectors from motec come with a small PCB so you can solder them, they do cost more but just the connector will do for me since ill probably just terminate and hot glue it

If anyone wants to swap their SM4 for a Djetro im all ears!

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
