john is good me built and tuned my 650 hp sr

on the power fc thing, they are still a pain to tune with the hand controller, so if he doesnt want to do it who cares, he sticks to what he thinks is the best. Needless to say power fc has many advantages and has its place but for all out motec/autronic standalone is supreme

But in all honesty the tuning isn't tedious.

Not quite as nice as the autolearn afr feature of the autotronic but none the less still very easy to adjust settings.

Some one who knows their way around the pfc can easily get a complete tune done in 2hrs.

As I said.. Johns simply been spoilt by being able to put his foot down and have the ecu adjust settings on its own. :)

The price of an ecu to match the powerfc specs is rather expensive.

i.e

6 injector sequential drivers

6 coil drivers

o2 closed loop

knock sensor utilization

Light/moderate load ign and fuel maps already setup.

The only real down side is

No data logging (unless you have the pfc software that is now available)

Heavy and WOT ign/fuel maps need adusting

If John were to purchase the PowerFC software, Datalogit from memory I'm sure he would pick up a lot of pfc customers.

At least now if you get a tune you know John is doing it, not one of the younger inexperienced boys.

Please dont come on here and recommend him for doing top service, as you have said your dad knows him. Its not like the rest of us would get the same sevice from him, or any of his staff....

Mates rates, and knowing someone dont mean jack sheit to the rest of us....

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
