Simon, tricky to set up I believe and what is wrong with the normal power fc?

Pete has good hp and excellent driveability with the normal one using Z32 afm's.

I would suggest that if you want the no AFM route , use Autronic, or heaven forbid..wolf. Just be prepared to pay for the tuning on the latter... :D

Cheers

Simon, also consider the fact that the Datalogit software used in some shops may not support the D-Jetro.. I cannot get my PFC Pro tuned anywhere on Datalogit for the same reason... If you're happy to tune via h/c and want launch control I'll do ya a swap for a standard PFC... I believe R32 and R33 GTR PFC's are interchangable.. :D

Cheers

i recommend you stick with the afm and ditch the map sensor idea... its a much more accurate way of measuring the mass of air coming in. drive-ability will suffer if you switch to a map sensor - and you will need a retune for any changes to the engine if your running a map sensor

I'm very interested to know about Power FC djetro also as I have noticed from the photos of my GTR that it does not have afm's. I would suspect it's running a map based ecu such as HKS FCON? The cost of buying 2 afm's and a std power fc would far outweigh the cost of a djetro unit....

540 isnt enough :)

$760-780 for two knew z32 afms with plugs from repco, not sure on there limit

(they read about 4v at 530rwhp so plenty of range left) but if your playing in this ball park then money should not be your issue as you will be spending sh.. loads on everything else anyway

ie clutch, gearbox, internals, fuel system etc etc

But you would need a retune if you changed something anyway. even with afm power fc.

not quite, say you take down the boost pressure, or change the boost controller arrangement ie wastegate creep control, then on a map based car it will need a retune

whereas on an afm based engine, it measures mass of air directly with the afm and thus knows if boost has been changed etc..

of course any big changes and you will need a retune on a afm based car as well..

but the big point is afms will give a better tune then map sensors, as they are more accurate in measuring the air coming in, i agree with what pnblight has said, stick with either twin z32's or rb25 afms :)

$2k deal for engine management sounds like a steal to me ,as ecu and air/fuel control is everything if your trying for 540 plus rwhp i would be spending some series money on management and not looking to cut corners ,especially if you want this car street drivable

i think you will find alot of tuners would tell you to spend the money on management over many other thing first

but this is only my opinion and i have had great results with my pfc and afms, went you get the right guys tuning (Lumpy is the man for pfc)

IIRC the Apex PFC weak point is not being able to work with d-jetro...not sure on the Apexi Pro version.

Regarding the F-Con V Pro it's not a problem thus tuners' choice. Not sure on the F-Con SZ/SA...but I think it can also run d-jetro as it can be converted to a full-com but don't quote me on it. My December Option issue has gone walkies...but there is a comparison in there outlining the strong and weak points of all the Japanese CPUs. F-Con V Pro obviously wins out right as the best, but question I ask many is do you really need something like a F-Con V Pro, unless your after 600ps+!

Theres a few others i know of who can tune power fc just as well. cheers.

Hi there, Tuning an F-Con V Pro in Perth is a problem as we do not have someone here that is capable at present, thus my intention to get rid of the F-Con CPU. In a quest for saving a few dollars I considered in the light of not having AFM's it might be cheaper to seek out a MAP based ECU to replace the F-Con with that can be tuned locally. I'll be happy with a clean 400rwhp, so MAP sensors are not a necessity.

Looks like I might just have to fork out for z32 afm's and a std Power FC...

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
