1) Make sure you have Jap english support on your operating system. Some of the files are in Jap and won't be able to uncompress if you don't have it enabled (Start>settings>control panel>regional and language settings>or something like that)

2) Copy the maps (you can only play with the maps until you get the cable) into a seperate directory. Right click on the directory with the executable and go down to properties. Insert a Japanese character (any will do, try this ススカイライン) into the directory name.

The cable is a complicated device (well, to a layman like me it is) and will require a bit of work. More on that tomorrow, just download the stuff and host it before I get torched and have to remove it.

Doughboy... can't help but feeling that the first post was directed at me... :D hehe. I haven't as yet replied to any of the PM's I got about the power FC software, but I was gonna charge somewhere around $20 for a copy.

aaaaanyway seeing as you've got the software (well... part of it, there's other revisions as well that work with different PFC's) you will no doubt have the instuctions on how to make the cable. I have the instructions as well, but am having some trouble sourcing some parts to make the cable, specifically the NEC reprogrammer that you need to flash the PFC with so you can use a non proprietory cable to communicate with it. Total cost of the cable itself should be around $250 to make. Thoughts, ideas?

This is great guys, I'll be in for a group buy if it will help with cable pricing. (I also have access to trade priced at a few IT and electrical places if it is of use to anyone)

PS - I have looked at the software a few times now but I cant find the setting for "WARNING MANIFOLD PRESSURE TOO HIGH" or the "DROP PASSENGERS FLOOR PAN - sparks set to 85%" activation settings.

...Let the engine torchings begin! lol :D

LOL... what do you know about tuning, anything you can do i can do better...provided the aim is to throw a rod thru the drivers window of the car alongside you, i bet i can mix it with the best :headspin:

Oh, and leaner mixtiures means more power right? :Bang:

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
