So much garbage on here once again with people putting shit on the power fc!

If anyone had a bad experience with a power fc it's because there tuner is SHIT.

It's an ECU it does what it's told

You've missed the point totally here mate.

Second hand FC = $700 with heckers hand controller

Nismo AFM's = $700

Thats $1400, more if you want to buy the ECU new.

Yes it will do the job. However, if you want to do something basic like a Flex tune you cant do it.

OR you could buy something like a plug in Link G4 for a few hundred more and be able to do heaps more with it.

There is "cheap" and there is "value". They are not the same sometimes. A Power FC in 2016 is not a "value" option.

You don't buy a box of rotten banana's for $1. Why? You can't do anything with the bloody things!

So Nistune is good with big injectors? A mate had trouble with his 330rwkw SR setup and tuner kept blaming Nistune and the 2000cc injectors (think they were 2000s)

No idea if it was fact or just blaming as it was the easiest escape goat. He gave up on cars and being raped by all the Sydney experts so sold the car.

$700 for a second hand D-Jetro with all accessories.... Pretty good value I recon.

What does it cost to intsall (if paying a workshop to pull off intake plenum and put the MAP sensors where they should be)?

LOL.. did you see my forsale thread on Driftsales?

Sold it in 3 days.. got an adaptronic for $650.. win x 10 with $50 for beer

PFC purchase, install and tune was on par with the cost of selling my M84 with the loom and accessories that I didn't need anymore.

And no more T T T T Timing jitter.

If I wanted to keep the haltec or M84 I would have spent another 2k for a crank trigger.

So massive saving and car runs the best it ever has.

And have my $350 Innovate SCG1 looking after boost and AFRs which cuts boost if I go lean, and has a 5V output to supply signal to FC edit software if I want to log it all.

Can't see a problem at all TBH

Nistune will drive big injectors just fine. I'm not sure that 2000cc injectors count though. They are more like open fire hydrants.

At ~330rwkW that SR20 really didn't need such big injectors. 1400cc hoses would probably have done it. And regardless of what ECU, once you start getting to injectors that size you really need to consider whether staging them makes more sense rather than asking something big and crude to give you a reasonable idle and part throttle cruise as well.

ID 2000's idle and drive 10 times better than Sard 800's. That's on the same car, same ECU and tuner. Actually two cars with very similar setups.

were they CNG injectors? if so.. partly why :)

I have no issues with Nistune with stock to 1250cc injectors on 98 or E85... easiest ECU to get shit to boogie... also TP Cut.. very goose, PowerFC no haz.

I bought my power fc for $400 with controller vs haltech $2100 new without additional additional sensors.

Flex is the ONLY reason i went haltech

+ wideband 02 feedback

+ 2-step, launch

+ flex

+ engine protection

+ no MAF

+ hectic software

+ no need for data logit box shit

+ usb plug wooooo, serial is homo

+ much much more, we'll even included a set of steak knives.

Here's your ID 2000s!

very non linear fuel delivery curve under 1.5 milliseconds which is why ID recommend the 1300cc5c028e760f3690e2b7bb3c46d6dde2c9.jpg

Pull up all the colourful graphs you want mate. I'm talking from sitting in the car driving the bloody thing!

By no means we're they perfect but they were a shitload better than those Sard 800 fluro green tipped nuggets!

Yeah yeah let's not mislead people once again.

you're probably talking about E85 only then which I would then believe you.

because the compressed natural gas injectors do actually atomize really well and you're using a whole lot more Duty cycle being that you are on E85.

I said before PETROL it will not work and they will not work on PETROL and the graph shows that, which is what you do.

you told me you never run on petrol which is why you don't know the difference.

Sigh.

You have no idea at what point in the life the cars were at.

I do not run the car on petrol much, yes. This was years ago (2010-2011).

Anyway, whatever.

    • They’re so great that I know of someone pulling one out to go back to a sequential 
    • Hello everyone. I've recently started the research into R34 GTR front bits and running into eye watering prices. On the plus site it looks like some places make 'replacement' fender liners for these cars. At eye-watering-but-less than stock prices. I also noticed there's plenty of diffuser options available too. What I would like to know is if my following assumptions are correct. 1) The OEM guard liners are actually only 'half' the liner. They go together with the OEM brake vents which are a separate item which looks to be quite a large 'panel' that is part of the liner. The GTR bumper has bolt holes along the front. I assume the ones in the vent correspond to the ones the OEM liner does not have (circled?)   2) The V-Spec front diffuser supplants the brake ducts in the above item. I am assuming these still work with the guard liners as there's no alternate part that I'm aware of. I don't see how they go together, so I'm making the assumption that they have to, somehow. I know the center splash guard is different on the V-Spec (and is the price of the damn diffuser alone). How does the liner interact with this? 3) There's alternate front diffusers that do away with it all. Annoyingly, a lot of the clones and CF different ones... have no brake ducts on them. I like the idea of them though. My brakes get hot on the track. These alternate diffusers are a lot cheaper than plastic splash guards. I'm assuming you don't have to/aren't supposed to remove guard liners to run a diffuser. I suspect that quite a few people actually do not run the guard liner because with a front undertray you're getting a lot of 'splash' guarding anyway, and most people remove liners given they're probably running a pretty aggressive setup with a diffuser at the front. It would also be nice to know if anyone has ever run the 'reproduction' guard liners and know whether the fitment is OEM quality or "OEM Quality". Example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/356254671561 https://carbonetics.net/products/nissan-skyline-r34-gtr-plastic-front-wheel-arch-set Is this knowledge still around?
    • Really, effort is pretty low. You hand fistfuls of cash over to someone else and pick it up when done...   And at least this shitbox isn't drinking coolant right?  
    • And most chargers that most DIY people own would put bugger all power back into the battery between cylinders. I've always done it with jumper packs/second battery connected. And that's on any car.   Because race car, and wanting the lightness.  At least in an R33, putting a bigger battery in can at least help shift the weight balance backwards  
    • OR, Tell the Motec to STFU, you said shift, so try shifting! But then yes, I agree, more sensors needed to. Put either a wheel speed sensor, or a diff speed sensor on it. Then get an input shaft speed sensor too. (I say input shaft speed, and not engine RPM). This way, you can now also log and see if the clutch is slipping (RPM, vs input shaft speed), and you can calculate gear (Input shaft speed / Output shaft speed). At least then if the gear position sensor fails you have a backup. And realistically, the Motec should only worry about what gear you're in for the parts where I'm assuming you have some power management strategies in it for the lower gears. (IE, lower boost, maybe different throttle curves, different ignition curves, etc etc). But it should stop it shifting. Pull the flappy, that f**ker should just attempt the motion! Heck, even on a sequential like on a motorbike, you can keep trying to kick it up a gear all you want, the physically part of the box takes care of not being able to loop the whole way around the box! Only part you'd have to worry is how it gets to reverse.  But that's on the driver... An R32 shouldn't be so smart as to try and override the driver on a gear shift
