Hello everyone. I just got a power fc from ebay and the guy claims it's a pro version. It can from Australia. And I paid 2500 Australian Dollarstore for it. Now he sent me a video of it booting up and on the commander it said pro. I have a r33 gtr I plugged it in to but my commander freezes up I'm thinking the firmware is different. He claims the new El commander will work.

I just bought the EL commander but will take 2 weeks to arrive.

 

What I would like to know of is there any other way to tell if it's a real pro. Here is a link of a video he sent me

 

 

Any ideas???

2500 for a powerfc? fark me. time to start hoarding and shipping them to the states. can get a link g4+ for a large chunk less than that and they are infinitely better.

 

I have nothing further to add...

except get a link.

That's funny cause that's what I told the guy that I got it from. None the less I wanted a power fc pro for the last 10 years. Just wanted to know if I got a real one.

Congratulations! You have bought an Ecu that won't get massive timing scatter at high rpm. Now you can tune it to make more power safely. 

 

They are fussy on hand controllers and only work with certain versions. 

I paid to much I know. I didn't really care for the price but at 2k usd. That was my limit. I've always wanted a pro version. I have 6 power fc from D jetro to L jetro for gtrs and gtst. So when I got this one I know I paid to much, and this is why I want to make sure I got what I paid for.
I bet if I was to say I'm looking for another power fc pro, and will pay 2k for another one. No one here would say they have one.?
Other than the price I just wanted to know of all the things to look for, to find out if it's a real pro.

After all I look at it this way. I helped a mate out by providing him the cash to get another Skyline closer to his goals.

yes it's a pro version, does your car start with the ECU plugged in? You can configure launch control to some low rpm like 1500, and check that it holds at this limit

I didn't start it as yet. I have ordered the El commander and once it arrives I will try starting the vehicle.
I guess that may be the catch. I notice all the screws are marked so if they are broken it will show.
I'm trying to ask a mate I know to borrow his commander so i can try starting it tomorrow.
I spose you did upgrade from a Haltech. Paid a tad bit much though!


I didn't upgrade from a Haltech mate. I sense the sarcasm. Lol. I know power fc is old. Just wanted one for a long time.

It's ok he is being serious 

Kml. Hell.no. he can't be serious mate.
Then tell me how a power fc is an upgrade from a Haltech. Tell you the truth I'm so comfortable tuning a power fc. I guess change is hard to do. I need to stop being so lazy and start messing around with my Haltech ecu. None the less. I've wanted a pro for the last 10 years.
You have f**ked up. Get a PayPal refund and buy an emtron KV8 right now.


Farked up is how you make your money. That's the most important thing in life not how much you have. I hate even bring this part of me out. Imagine your rich and all your money is gone, your poor again. Now imagine your wealthy. Then you have lots of cash but look at the way you make your cash and the security attached to it. You ever heard of very wealthy people that are very insecure. Or rich people that are very insecure. I'm sure we all do. That's because of how you make your money. Money is just a false sense of security.
Again I hate leading this thread away from the topic.
In short make money the right way.
And you will never care about how you spend it. Associated with this comes low stress if that, none. Real happiness. And a perfect blood pressure.

You upgraded to a PowerFC is like me upgrading my Samsung S6 to a Nokia 5110.

You're building a $10k motor and it's being controlled by technology that's more primative than my microwave.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
