I have had the Wolf fitted in my 33 about 3 weeks ago. Power figure is ok but it is a bit rough in low rpm, only because it is the first time that my mechanic has tuned one. Would anyone happen to know someone in brissie that can tune the wolf?

I am sorry to get into this kind of late..I recently purchased a skyline over here in the u.s. (GT-R33). My question, is the wolf system a plug and play? Meaning, does it plug up to the stock wiring harness? Does it control air conditioner, lights, etc...? Because all the Wolf system that I see here in the states (not that many), they are basically stand alone with their own wiring harnesses that you have to wire up to their own sensors. Most of the sensors they use like many other Australian stand alone units are GM sensors...So most likely you have to tap your own, etc....

I know the PFC makes a specific model application, so that helps in tuning and basically able to retain many stock functions...

As for Wolf, Motec, Autronic, Haltech..(here in the u.s.) they are true stand alone for basically a full time race car. They have more capabilities, more fuctions..but they lack the different model specific applications.

Please enlighten me with the technologies that are not available here in the u.s...I have used Haltech (sucks by the way) and presently have motec in my Honda..Which is strictly a race car.

As for the Skyline (my street car), I presently have the PFC and want to upgrade to the MAP..But since I see this discussion about other system available, I want to be school in this before I make my next purchase.

the 'jetro' version of the power FC does map. I wouldn't think there was any point since the airflow meters are more accurate, appart from the fact that you may need to upgrade the size of them to something bigger. The move to map from airflow meter would be worth considering if you are planning on a 1000hp+ engine I guess.

      Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
