Just had an Apexi Power FC installed and tuned by Ice Performance, it was the first time i had been there and i must say that i would recommend ANYONE to go there.... The guys down there are fantastic and i give them a big thumbs up!

I will be going there for the next mod without a doubt!

Oh, and they did a great job on my car! massive difference right through the rev range :P

I was at ICE the other day, damn they had the toughest looking silver R32 with gold WRX wheels i have ever seen. :P

People were trying to torch it and calling it a bucket of sh1t but i think its looked tough :P

Man i wish i could drive that car for just a weekend :burnout:

hey there good to know that they are reccommended

i will be takin my car there once i get my turbo back from gcg and

get hold of a z32 meter any one know where i can get one from??/

btw what did you get done

inital setup of pfc? or just a tune?

what did that cost ya and did they do any work to you car when it was there?/?

i bought a PFC off them and had them install it and tune..... thats it really, i already had a full exhaust front mount and bleeder....

They also removed a silencer that i had in the exhaust that i had no idea was there..... the car is f*#king loud now.......

its also comforting to see a couple of 10sec cars in the workshop, they wouldnt be there if they didnt know them back to front...

Great guys, they had heaps of time for me to answer my questions and concerns.....

the PFC cost $1550 ($1050 for the computer and $500 tunning) supplied, installed and tuned, when i rang i was wanting to ask a few questions but when i heard the price i had it booked in less than 24 hours later with the job done! ill be going back there very soon!

Yeah... I've seen that car too, looks mighty tough.

Apparently, the owner wants to put an RB26 in it.

:jester:

He sounds like a loser who doesnt know what he wants to do, some guy was telling me a std RB20 is good for 1:25s around Sandown.... so why would you need an RB26 :P

HAHAHA, Roy Shut up and stop blowing your own trumpet. How long has it been sitting on the sidelines now gathering dust?? The only reason its fast is because you have racing tyres on it at the track and a tdo6 slapped to the side. Having said that mine is in the workshop now. Shagged the slave cyclinder piston i think. Probablly because of my hard ass clutch!

Woops, ive been caught out. LOL...slapped on being the operative word. :bonk:

My cars fast (is it?) because im the biggest tool in the shed, and im behind the wheel :looney:

Just to set the record straight -- I believe people wanted to blow it up (with C4) - not just torch it.  :Bang:

lol...Your so right...i stand corrected

My car had been sitting on the sidelines, but it did make a recent return to the world of the living, albeit brief...but she showed promise for that fleeting moment

So, you can do 1:20s.

I wouldn't call him a loser either, just down on his luck judging by the recent turn of events.

My car was at ICE on Wednesday..

i had them tune my car after getting my boost controller and SAFC installed (thanks Danny aka AUTOTRUST).

They had to re-gap my plugs cos the place i took my car before DIDNT do it.. :cuss: they cleaned my coils.. tuned it.. and i have 40kw more than i did at the last dyno run i had.!!! :P how happy was i!! :bananaman

Nigel was great.. answered all my questions no problem.. and didnt treat me like an idiot cos im a gurrrrrrrrrl :Oops:

Id recommend them anyday!!

Ill be going there to get all my work done for sure

Thanx again Nigel!!!

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
