sorry if it sounds like a stupid q, but can't you get that sort of power out of your gtr without an ecu upgrade? or do you want it for other reasons, ie saftey of motor?

na not a stupid questions at all i rekon its very possible to get that power with a stock ecu but id like to know if its worth the money to upgrade the ecu for the reason you said safety plus,idle,driveability etc

Just wondering what you guys are using or would recommend..

The car is going to be used for street use only with the idea to run 200-250kw @ the wheels..

Personally ive heard the Power Fc is the way to go?

Any comments would be appericiated.

Power FC is the way to go. Trust me when you have "200-250kw" for a while, you will want more....then a little bit more...then just squeeze some low mounts in there......and so on, and so on.

Stock ecu may cope. Power FC all the way. Do it once, do it right.

If your only going for that much power just get the standard chip remapped.

thats where it get tricky caus a chips is say $800-900..

aiming for 240kw@wheels..

but say i plan to keep the car for a while longer and I have the cash for a turbo up grade later on il most liklely need a computer uprgade? Correct

I think you are getting my drift now, i have had the car for about a year and a half and ive just cleaned it up to my liking..

Id rather do it once as you say because you just end up spending twice too many times...

I got a R32 GTR with just under 250kw's at the wheels, currently running a tuned Power FC. Extremely happy with it, made a big improvement. Best thing is, that basically anymore performance upgrades I do, is totally within the power FC's limits :(

What other mods have you done to your car?

Totally agree about the potential of the power fc thats why i wouldnt rush out and get just a chip..

The only prob i believe is the pfc is not plug in and its pretty expensive to tune..

Power FC is definitely Plug in!

Other mods are..

HKS front pipes

Trust cat back exhaust

'Steel Wheel' stock turbo's

Apexi pod filters

HKS cam gears

11.5psi made 220 rwkw's and 14psi made 248rwkw's.

And I disagree with the power Fc being expensive to tune. BUT it does all depend on who you take it too AND what mods you have.

Once again thanks heaps for the info!

I have been quoted around $600-700 to get the Power Fc and tuned?

Do you thinks that is around the mark..

Yeah, I can't believe PFC with tune =$600-700 too, that's more likely is the price for the remap chip + tune. PFC is good, but Motec is much better.

sorry guys my mistake around $400 to get it tuned and around hopefully around $1200-1400 for the pfc...

Know anyone thats sells them cheaper???

Nengun / Greenline will be the cheapest you will find (new).  

If that is too much then try and source yourself a second hand FC, but even then, they wont be all that much cheaper.

i have got a quote of brent@ nengun $850 my only concen ordering direct out of japan is warranty side of things?? Has anyone ordered out direct out of japan??

Any one have a web page for Greenline is he in Aus?

$850 would be without the hand controller. Warranty shouldn't be an issue. If you have a problem just send it back and he should sort it out. He is pretty good like that....

Greenline is in Japan also. www.greenline.jp

Im waiting on a price from a mates workshop if its too expensive il most likely go throught brent..

Do you think i should buy it with a hand controller, ive managed to finda few places in melb that have a hand controller to tune it?

Why spend the money now??? What mods does your car have? to give you an example, my car made 230rwkw on 10psi. Stock ECU, AFM's, pump, injectors, turbos, I/C. Aftermarket pods, front pipes, 3inch exhaust.

If I were you I would stick with the stock ECU UNTIL you are ready to upgrade the parts that require a different ECU (being injectors, AFM's, Turbos). That is what I am doing. I'll be getting the PFC once I upgrade a few parts.

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
