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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
