it might sound easy to get one of these through nengun, but they still have to source one (which isnt easy), then you have to pay shipping and might get stung for duty. overall the wait might be a long time.

as i said, i ordered this through an importer and it took 6 months to find. these are rarer than all other powerfcs (especially in Aus) so you cant expect to get one for the same price as for other cars. i paid much more than 800 for this so im not willing to sell at that price. how about an offer that reflects the availability of this computer??

yes for rb20. look up www.nengun.com and ask them go to performance parts and see just seen today rb20 brand new power fc 1200 buxs wihout controller

maybe so but thats very different to walking to corner store to pick one up. they have to find it then send it. meanwhile you wait for it to be found, then pay for shipping, then wait for it to arrive.

at this price you are paying for the fact that it is in the country right now ready to go.

i am not disputing this and no it wont be the same price as picking one up here. the face is that urs is a USED power Fc. No matter how long it was on there for the main thing it was used it is not brand new anymore. i am in the market for an fc so dont think i am just abusing ur thread. u tell me what u think is a resonable price for your fc and we will go from there

ok, well this price has not been simply picked out of the air. it reflects the price that i paid for it, and the fact that i waited 6 months for it to arrive. i thought it only logical that given the low supply i could get a few hundy more than what i paid. anywho, i paid $1400 for this unit and im not going to loose money on this. you can have the unit for that price.

why dont you try and buy one through them and then tell me how easy and quick it is. also by the time the thing arives it will end up costing well more than 1200. when i was originally looking for this an importer quoted me 1800 to my door. being second hand doesnt matter cause there arent many of these in the country, new or used. im not being tight, im just asking for what i paid. your offerring the kind of money that a used 33 unit goes for. i think thats being tight considering the supply of them going around. it costs more cause they are rare and its in the country now.

i bought a power fc with handcontoller from nengun it took 6 days to arrive on my door and has 12 months warranty, all for $1180 incl freight brand new.

I am about to purchase a power fc pro (air flow meter removal) for the rb20 with handcontroller for $1350 from nengun incl freight.

youre price is reasonable when looking at what you paid, but it is not reasonable looking at the current market on these prodcuts, nengun is unbeatable and is a wholesaler direct from Apexi, i can bet my life he wont have any problem sourcing one.

I bought a playstation 2 when they first came out, cost me $600, I sold it 2 weeks later but could only sell it for $550.

Basically when selling something 2nd hand regardless of the age of the product, the buyer will always dictate the price.

By all means try and sell it for what you paid, but I wouldn't think on here is where you'll do it. It's going to like selling snow to the eskimo's.

Personally i'd cut my losses and sell it for around $1200, because they will only get cheaper i'd reckon. Then you'll get even less.......

Your call :D

      Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.

      No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
