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.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
