Does anyone know where I can get a Apexi Power FC for my CA 18det. Im in Tassie and just wondering if they come pre tuned for the engine? R they hard to install does anyone know. Thanx

These are a special order unit from AP engineering, so I highly doubt somewhere like Autobarn is going to have one sitting on the shelf, let alone try and order one for you. Direct from AP they retain for around 110,000yen. I believe there has been a second hand one floating around on ebay(us) for 1000us.

Also a side thought... appart from them being supplied with a more powerful standard base map, and that they plug straight in... who will you get to tune such a thing in Tasmania?

as i said they have some ... obviously not ca18det ones..

as for tasmania .. get a boat to melbourne and get someone who knows what they are doing to tune it!

We do actually hvae tuners in tassie...Going over to Melbourne is an idea but we can't get 98ron fuel in tassie so the maps might be alittle out...

Dave from Griffith Auto is one of the best in Tassie

they are a tough little engine but the expense of a power fc is not required when the computer is apparently 100% retunable.

Hmmm ive heard that before, not sure, but it would be nice as i have nearly finished rebuilding the old CA, fit the new turbo and nearly ready to start running it all in.

Would be good if i could just re-tune the standard ecu :headspin:

guy I saw an AP engineering power fc for ca18 for 1k about a month ago..

I looked at it and thought do I really need it? 1k could get me a crazy turbo

standard ecu is retunable, and don't need a daughter board,

$250 exchange and if ur in vic it can be dyno tuned

the standard computer is retunable but for the best results for minimal money use a microtech. if anyone remembers the old DEXTER 180 that was initially a retuned stock computer but had idol problems. I now has a microtech LTX-8 and runs extremely smooth.

    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
