do you want to make sure the car cannot be started at all, or do you just not want someone thrashing it?

because i think i read somewhere that you can set the pfc to a certain setting then disconnect the hand controller, and the car will shut down if revs reach over 3k.

i'll see if i can find it.

think this answers your question -

and heres an informative link from paulr33 in regards to Power FC -

all found using the SEARCH function :(

You will find that after that amount of time the PFC will drain of all residual memory and you will be left with any base mode that it came with.

You are better off removing the coil ignitor or something like that. If someone really wanted to start your car, it would not be hard to get a battery into it. With the ignitor, I don't know of anyone who just carries one around with them so the chances of anyone stealing it or driving it are virtually nil.

Have you experienced this? Manual states that memory of PFC settings is not effected by battery power, or lack of it.

I'd recommend having your car started for you every week atleast. If you can find someone trust-worthy then you might want them to roll it up and down the street so the tyres don't deteriorate (if that happens?).

My car is awaiting engineering and un-reg'd but I still run the engine and roll it around the driveway.

Yeah I had a friend that read the same manual. He disconnected the battery when he went to Japan for 6 months. Lost his tune when he cam back. We dunno why.

There are still more effective ways to prevent people from driving your car like I suggested above. This would be a far better option than disconnecting the battery. Also with the tyre thing. Pump all your tyres to 50 psi before you leave and you will not have that problem. My car sat for 8 months and the tyres are still perfect.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
