I try and warn people the PFC is a 20 year old piece of dinosaur tech, and it's worth $20 in the scheme of things. There have been better options for many years but everyone still gags over them.

The beauty of the PFC is experience with so many tuners and the ease of replacement if you get EPA'd

I've had det on E85, when I had an intake leak and it was running too RICH...

That aint det Simon, it's spark breaking down.

I had det on e85, but i was running 22:1 on cruise while fiddling.

Any plug in ecu would have the same benefits, Haltech do a plug in too.

What sort of power/torque increases have the 86 people seen from it?

Not sure, the guy was SAU so it wouldn't be hard to ask... There were two running at PI, and I know at least one was on e85, the one in my group.

I wouldn't buy one these days with adaptronic and haltech available, but I've had mine for 5 years and rather than getting another 98 tune done on another twice as expensive ECU and then getting the E tune on top of it, a simple retune for E was the viable option for me.

It's still popular because every tuner can do them, they are plug and play and cheap and do the job just fine for all but serious racers. People love the hand controllers too lol

hey guys booked it in with freddy at nisma in thomo for that 700rwkw methanol tune with 9s and gt42 with 2 speed powerglide hollinger.

wot could go wrong?

Don't forget you will need twin SUS power filterz mate for that power.

Not sure if mocking perfectly sensible concept

I just don't see why some douche who did a medical degree for 6 years or put in the hard yards / cut back on spending habits when he was younger should own his own house when I'm stuck renting in Richmond and can barely afford music festivals let alone the repayments on my 3 series

saw some article posted on fb about this 24 year old havng like 4 houses worth 2.3mil, from a 'rich family' but no handouts were given, yet shes earing 55k a year.

Yeah right LOL.

She was going on about how anyone can do it etc.

I get 10L per hundred from e85 in the Evo, on the open road. Pretty good, but I doubt you will get that with the V8.

Yeah on 98 I'll get about 8-9l per hundred cruising at 110km/h just purrs

Actual city / daily driving it sits at about 15l/100 on average, about what's expected I guess.

heard ric once paid a bitch 2.25mil to suck his dick...

Birds, get Nistune and flex.

Done.

Last time I spoke to Trent he said 86's make something like 110 kw stock, and 145ish on E85 with nothing else done.

He also said they were pretty terrible car, widly not worth the money.

1:51 at PI doe...

Sorry Birds, he was in the 86/brz club. Craig Furniss with the BRZ, managed a 1:54 I think.

I'm surprised more of these guys aren't doing the supercharger or turbo conversions; that chassis has so much potential as a track car

Must be too new for people to want to risk their engines lol

Each to their own but there's nothing else for the same money that comes close in looks, handling and rwd...there's a reason they're farkin everywhere these days...Toyota found a niche and filled it. They will be the next big P plater and tuner car once turbo/blower conversions become more widespread and the second hand market value comes down a lot.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
