i reckon we buy one (A FEW guys) and loan it between each other.id love to use it but only for a week or so, as a long term months procject it would be useless but for weeks it would be fine

Yeah that would be good heh, I mean, most people only would want to use it once or twice probably and any minor adjustments after that can be easily done with the hand controller, hardly worth the $500.

Personally I think they are a little on the pricey side, really, it's basically 1/2 of the cost of the whole powerFC unit again. I'd pay $200-300 for this sort of thing, but $500 is really pushing it a bit.

Ok, for tuning purposes the hand controller does basically the same as the datalogit. BUT there are a hell of a lot more fetures which imho make it worth the little extra...do a search and you may be suprised what you can do with it :) from SK:

OK, but only the ones that you can't access via the Commander

Inlet air temp fuel map

Water temp fuel map

RPM acceleration fuel map

Cranking Injector dwell map

Water temp versus boost fuel correction

Inlet air temp versus boost fuel correction

RPM Load Point table

AFM load point table

AFM voltage table

Ignition versus water temp correction

Ignition versus inlet air temp correction

Ignition dwell versus RPM correction

Ignition versus battery voltage correction

Ignition versus boost correction

Individual injector trim

Injector lag versus battery voltage correction

Via the Datalogit there is also;

Antilag via injection

Antilag via ignition

Intercooler spray

Basically anything that you want to turn on or off

Then there is the logging

Every standard sensor is logged

Plus 4 others (eg; lambda, brake temperature, suspension travel etc etc)

as well as :

All of which are important once you reach the limitations of the stock afm/load point base map setup.

Swapping to a Z32 or VH41/Q45 AFM does zilch in its own.

Software is required.

There's also the A/C and non a/c overheat fan temp switch.

see? The power FC is not to be laughed at... its not a bad little unit at all.

Oh and the guys wanting to use a datalogit on a few different types of cars - you can't. Just like the hand controller, you need a specific version for a specific power fc.

sorry.

If you get the newest version of FC daalogit it will work on old versions..

My powerfc is a much newer one - I've been waiting a couple of weeks for the tuner to get the updated software..

P.s. When using the FC datalogit do you just use the Connection where the hand controller connects. I've made an extension cord for that so I dont have to keep taking it on and off the mounting position.

What is the other non round connection on the powerfc for?

Cheers

It works on older versions of the same car. But you cannot use it between makes and models of vehicle.

Yes it goes into the hand controller round plug.

I think the other connector on the PowerFC is for the optional APEXI Boost controller.

well, the guy got back to me and he said that he'll do 10% discount on 10 units, and 15% discount on 15 units..

so yeah, I can't see many people ordering anyway. Still wondering if I should get one.

ok, well, I'll give it a try.

So far we have -

1. The Mafia

2. Beer Baron

3. Stolly

4. Snowman

This is what I am thinking. When we have a confirmed 10 or 15, I'm gonna need the money up front, and I am gonig to need to pay him to get in the order. Could take up to 3 weeks.

If everyone is cool with this, let me know. There are quite a few forum members here that know me well, and will let you know that I am reliable and not out to get anyone. I just want my datalogit! lol.

Would it be a good idea for me to gt him to ship them to separate addresses, or get them all shipped to me and then distribute them from there? Dunno how he'd want to do that. I guess if I shipped them it would be extra freight. So probably not a good idea. I'd just give him 10 or 15 addresses.

Has anyone gotten a quote off the New Zealand site to see if they are cheaper? I trie to email them but they never responded.

Let me know any more thoughts of suggestions. I am new to group buys.

Updated List guys -

1. The Mafia

2. Beer Baron

3. Stolly

4. Snowman

Do I have to register something with SAU or something to do a group buy?

and here are the features from Bl4cK32's post -

    • Try looking at Eibacb/H&R springs Thats what Gary sourced for mine.
    • Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!
    • And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.
    • I have an R32 Fenix rad. It is good.
    • All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents
