I bought a dead 3 puck nismo clutch for $100, sent it to Jim Berry, and he made a 3800 pound carbonic 5 puck clutch for $800. Factor in the several hour long mobile phone calls to Jim, and i got an awsome clutch for under a grand! He certainly can talk! Better that someone who doesnt give you the time of day though! Shaun.

Im such an idiot SK; yes the OD is 100mm! 420rwkw on a single Q45 certainly places my doubts to rest about restriction to airflow! What car was this on? A single turboed RB26, or is that your RB31 GTST? Thanks, Shaun.

GDay, Im after a complete GTR wiring loom, without the computer. The loom must be in excellent condition and come complete with all plugs (ive got the sensors). I dont think it matters what model its from, but its going in a 32 gtst with a 33 gtr engine. PM or ring me on 0414972596. Thanks, Shaun.

Thanks Jayson, thats exactly what im afraid of! Also, in my case, ive got the MAP sensor and multiple throttle bodies problem to overcome. Apparently the Autronics now come with the 'Self Tune" (i think thats what its called) program. Did yours have that? Also, did you use the CDI Ingnition Module with the SMC? Thanks, Shaun.

No thanks; got some pioneer 'yellow cone' splits.

GDay, Ive got a DNA Motorsports 600x300x76mm Bar and Plate front mount intercooler for sale. Its about a year old and in excellent condition. Its coming off my R32 gtst. It looks exactly the same as the hybrid ones; 3 inch inlets etc. Ill try to get some photos up. $300 Shaun.

So exxu1, have you decided which ecu your gonna get? Im going through the same thing at the moment too!

Thanks for your input, but im not sure i understand. Ill be using 1 Q45 AFM, and your table says it'll handle only 302rwkw. Im aiming for around 350rwkw, but you say it shouldnt pose a problem. Also, does anyone know if its possible to place the AFM on the pressurised side of the turbo. Ie; before or after the intercooler. I'd say it'd have to be after the cooler due to the extra heat generated by the pressurised air. Thanks, Shaun.

Hey, im pretty keen to know what peoples thoughts are about the Q45 AFM. Will it create a significant restriction to air flow, as its only 90mm and my turbo inlet is 100mm? My engine guy thinks that it would create a restriction, seeing as though im hopefully looking at around 350rwkw. Does anyone know of a larger AFM that will suit the power FC? I dont reckon it would create a huge restriction, as my exhaust is 94mm. If the AFM will restrict air flow, so too will the exhaust, and i dont think that will happen. Anyway, im keen to hear your thoughts. Thanks, Shaun.

Thanks very much guys. Your advice is appreciated, and i will certainly take it on board. My concerns with the PFC route are: 1. The state of my loom. Ill have to check whether its salvagable after its was massacared by the addition of a microtech (dont ask!). 2. The addition of the Q45 AFM. If i remember correctly, this is 90mm in diameter. As the inlet of my turbo is about 102mm, ill have to fabricate a reducer (or similar) to accomodate the AFM. 3. My engine builder/wiring guy is familiar with the Autronics, and im concerned about finding someone else, as he already knows how anal i am with my car. 4. Thats all i can think of............... which is pretty good, as my concerns with the Autronic far outweigh those above. More questions relating to AFM's: 1. Will the 90mm Q45 AFM create a restriction to air flow thats worth worrying about? 2. Does the AFM have to be mounted a certain way. Ie; Can i mount it horizontal, vertical, upside-down etc? I'd like to make a cold air feed, and the AFM creates a few hassles. 3. Is there another AFM available thats about 4 inches (102mm) in diameter that will suit the PFC? Just so i dont have to fabricate a reducer, as i wanted to make a sexy 4 inch stainless induction pipe from my turbo inlet to a pod within the guard. Thanks for any help/ideas/suggestions. Shaun.

Thanks Dave. Unfortunately i dont have the AFM's, so ill have to buy these. Im actually starting to think that using the PFC will cost as much as the Autronic i was originally going to use (when you factor in AFM's, Rewire etc). More research needed it think. Shaun.

GDay, Im in the process of putting an R33 GTR engine (with a single GT3540 turbo) into my R32 gts-t. I was going to use an Autronic SM4, however, after talking to knowledgable people, and in the interest of saving money im 98% sure ill go the Power FC. The area of electronics and ECU's is my weakness, so please forgive any simple questions. My questions relate to what type of PFC is needed to get my car up and running perfectly. 1. As i understand it, the PFC for the R32 gtst is extremely rare. Is this true? 2. Keeping in mind that my R32 loom only has provision for one AFM, can i use an R32 gtr PFC and somehow modify the loom to use 2 AFM's? 3. I have heard that people have used R33 gtst PFC's in R32 gtst's. Can this be done easily? If this is possible, ill just use a single Q45(?) 90mm AFM. 4. Does anyone know if you can buy a replacement loom from Apexi (as with Motec or Autronic). Because if this is possible, i could just get a gtr loom. 5. Does the PFC control air conditioning etc like the standard computer. Sorry for all the questions. As you can see, my problems are associated with the different loom/engine combination. If there is anything i have missed, let me know. I want this car to be able to be driven daily without any problems on cold start etc, and i dont want to do any ground breaking with the Autronic. Any assistance or comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Shaun.

Yes, there will be a mounting bracket and cord supplied. Im a good mate of Tims; ill let him know your trying to get in contact with him. He doesnt have alot of access to a computer at the moment. Shaun.

Has this been installed in a car or is it brand new?

Its hard to say Gary. The stainless mesh does end where the outside of the cat starts to neck down, so it might be captive in there. However, if you cut the ends off as close to the mesh as possible (while still leaving material to weld onto), it'll still be held captive and the diameter will be about 3.95 inches. Im going to do the same thing, because i dont want a reducer in my exhaust either. Shaun.

Jeeeezus, theyre pretty small arent they! Thanks for the good feedback guys; i just hope they perform for us all as expected. ill be keeping an eye on the results of the tests. I dont think ill do another group buy; its too stressful!! Thanks again, Shaun.

Hey Charles, sorry for PMing you this question; i didnt realise that you didnt want general enquiry PMs. Anyway, can i have a ballpark price on a set of R32 gtr standard rims in good condition? I only really want two wheels for my gtst; is this possible. I dont care if they have tyres or not. Thanks, Shaun

Yep, thats what i decoded to do with the constant 12 volts. Any idea what fuse would be sufficient? Good idea with the dimmer! That way, when cops drive behind you, you can dim your pillar pod gauges right down! What a champion.

Hey guys, i need some help please. im installing some trust gauges in my r32 gtst, and i need to know where a 12 volt constant power source is. This is usually easy to find with a circut tester, but my car doesnt have an engine in it, hence no power. Does the cigarette lighter work with the ignition off? (i forget). Do the hazards work without the ignition on? An answer to these questions would help me figure this out. Thanks, Shaun.

Group buy finnished now. Sorry.

Oh, ok. So i just leave it connected to nothing? So the buzzer thing is an optional extra that you have to buy is it? Thanks.

GDay, Ive just bought some Trust/Greddy warning gauges, and the instructions provided are in Japanese. Ive figured out where all the wires go, except for the wire that controls the warning light. The gauges ive bought are boost, oil pressure and oil temperature, and i really want to hook up their warning capabilities. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Shaun. Incase you cant read the instruction booklet, from the top it reads; • 12V • Ignition •12V • Ground • WARNING OPTION (Where the Fu*k does this one go?)

Yeah guys, i wouldnt worry until we get some definative results. If the Magic cat fails, ill take it back and get a refund! It shouldnt be up to us to test it; but it'll be interesting. Thats IF it fails. im with shif_tea above^^^^.

Hey, i can get Magic Cats cheap! lol.

This is it BATMBL! Youve gotta do it now! Ill be the first to apologise if what you have suggested about magic is true. Sydneykid raised some extremely good points in the above posts. There's got to be more to it than a (magics) total disregard to Australias environmental and fair trading laws. Youve left yourself with no option but to accept abflugs and sydneykids offer! Thanks guys.
