I think the price is one the web site GM33, if not email them.

Is the software worthwhile? It looks a little unprofessional judging by the screenshots on their website, but perhaps that's an unfair judgement.

SK: I have been meaning to ask -- and if you don't mind me taking up some of your time -- who would you suggest for tuning a R32 GT-R in Sydney? (Feel free to PM me if you don't want to post recommendations).

Edit: ECU would be a PFC.

LW.

It works a treat both as a tuner and as a data logger, we have one for the R32 GTR and one for the R32 GTST. The screen layout is pretty much determined by the Apexi machine code in the Power FC. I guess they could have made it prettier, but then they would have had to charge more for it.

PS; PM sent

Jim at CRD has the proper A'PEXi Power FC Excel writer software.

SydneyKid: As to the limitations of the DataLogit system, it is their software, not the PowerFC that is the limiting factor. If you see the Power Excel software, you'd be amazed at what else is accessible in the Power FC.

Mario.

Thanks Mario, I have seen the Power Excel software, but not for long enough to notice any differences other than appearance. Plus the one I have seen was in Japanese, which I don't read very well. Do you have some examples of what is accessible with Excel that isn't with Datalogit?

thanks again judd for this recommendation and being there tonite!!!

before this guy tuned my car, both c&v and then the hitman had a go (hand controller tuned)...i thought they both did admiral jobs - but i was very impressed with this guys tuning confidence and mechanical know how. i dont even think c&v tuned it with a wide band sensor, but just with the sensor up the exhaust :

seat of the pants results are good. no dyno figures to analytically prove it, but, by the way the car feels and after experiencing all three tunes, i know which one i prefer most and i also know which one is more healthier on my knock sensor reading from my handcontroller!

most impressed with how the car pulls with linear power and i dont get the same knock levels from my previous tunes. :P over the next week i'll be giving it a thorough testing, and he's going to revisit the tune to focus on the low end as tonite was just mid to top end (and his laptop battery went dead).

was also impressed that he updated the firmware version of my powerfc with his tuning software :P

the man at work (here obviously keying in data previously held in an sms msg :)):

    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
    • Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.
    • hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
    • wow, a completely stock GTR! I've got to admit, I have no idea from what you are describing....do you have  any idea where the "thump" comes from, and are you certain it is the HICAS light not something else like the cat overheat light?
    • nice work, welcome to the world of CAD! fabricating accurately in 3 dimensional space is beyond me....I almost always end up making something more than once...sorry I mean I extensively use prototyping
