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.

Sorry Mate I Cannot See The Sense In Buying A Second Hand Power Fc For 1400 When A New One Is 1200 I Would Have To Be Out Of My Mind. Anyway Good Luck With Ur Sale Hope It Goes Well I Am Still Interested So If Ur Keen To Sell At A More Reasonable Price For A Second Hand Item Please Message Me :burnout: :burnout:

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

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
