Cheapest would be to buy direct from Japan :)

If you want it installed then just about any competent workshop can do it as Apexi parts are bolt-on's barr the stuff that needs tuning. But even PFC has base maps to get you from workshop to the tuners.

I don't think BEL workshop has a dyno.

What are you getting? Probably best to get a price from BEL as their prices usually includes fitting/installation.

Bel are very good. there price doesnt only include the parts, it includes labour, full tuning (done in 50rpm increments), and part. Also they offer warrenty. As well as you just drive in - drive out.

They are located in Homebush and are recommended. Although they dont have a dyno (as yet) this guy had his car dynoed after bel had tuned the power fc and they were lucky to pull 5-10hp more out of it. Its nice to have it on a fancy sheet. but the real dyno should be done on the street in real situations. not simulated.

i suppose if you could always buy the powerfc through.. (nengun) then install yourself, and then get it tuned by ...(Bel) they charge $200 for full tune of PowerFC. but of cause u wont have the parts warrente because it wasnt installed and fitted by Apexi Excel Shop.

A dyno will also show you any problems that you have.

Road tune will not.

If I was to go to BEL and got a tune, I'd whack it on the dyno just to make sure everything was a-ok.

Do they use a A/F meter when road tuning?

i've heard rumours that there will be a new 'online' shop that will be able to offer cheaper jap performance parts comparable to Nengun with quick turn around time

You hear all the rumours don't you Linus :)

I can get anyone a powerFC for $1600 shipped brand new (at the moment only). However, not the R32/R33 GTR cos Apexi are out of stock till March.

Isn't Apexi Excel shop only in USA?

I don't think it applies in Australia but correct me if I am wrong please. :)

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
