An aftermarket ECU will give you a noticeable gain over a stock ECU.

Not just in power, but a bit of response too. It makes a world of difference on an RB25, one would think RB26 wouldnt be much different.

Could a PFC and a Adj Cam gear and it will make a massive difference (provided you have an exhaust etc)

cheap fix saf-c???

Its a cheaper way of adjusting the Air/Fuel ratio. It piggybacks on the stock ECU. However, it is inferior to the PowerFC for a number of reasons (do a search and you should find some more info).

ok I have adjustable cam gears trust FMIC and a 3" exhaust with N1 spec engine and steel wheel N1 spec turbos.... will the Apexi FC be the way to go?

Is it manual or auto?

No Power FC's for auto's, so the SAFC is the go.

If its a manual, I would definitely go for the Power FC.:rofl:

It's a GTR man :headspin: Didn't know you could get N1 spec GTS-T's..

williamsf1: Yes a Power FC will drag a lot more potential out of your car with those mods.

Shoot, that's what happens when you reply at 2.13AM. That's why the sign says "I don't know everything":cheers:

PS, Yeh the Power FC will give you ~40 rwkw and a much nicer car to drive at the same time.:rofl:

yeah guys, manual it is..... ok the next question is any recommended people to tune this effectively... I can source the FC from Japan or HK (saving about $500) so who will do a good job and not stress the car/engine.....

the bloke a few of the guys were referring to on the thread supplied by gizmo73, Hitman, really knows his S#@t - he uses and sells Haltech computers which wouldn't be a bad idea if your after big HP. Otherwise a powerFC would be the next best thing you could do for your GTR. Plus, the experience of a road tune is hilarious!

he took me out onto the m5 motorway, armed with his laptop plugged into my powerfc, he then said drop into 4th and go...so we go...and at 170 he then says okay back off! this process was repeated about half a dozen or so times!!! whilst your driving hes doing all the tuning etc on the laptop - i found it hilarious!!!
