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)

hey guys.... iv got an r33 gtst and im looking at buying a power fc but im unshore if i even need to upgrade my stock ecu.... iv got a full 3inch catbach system,fmic,pod filter, and raising the boost to 10psi tomorrow.. do you think the stock ecu will still be ok after i raise the boost???

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!!!

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
