madness

Don't listen to him, If your head gasket went the first thing ill be checking to if its cracked, warped ect.... Then go from there, the last thing you want to do is change it and the same problem happens again... I love this "While the head is off you may want to service it and check the block for warping as well" To check the block i think you need the block out....

Ok I have decided on what ecu to buy, aim going to get the apexi purely because (a) I can get one a lot cheaper Then the wolf. (b) The apexi has a faster processor then the wolf. Now I know that most OEM ecu are the faster them most aftermarket ecu's. And he apexi is as close as a standard ecu is some ways i.e. idle, aircon, ECT.... Also the wolf has to make its own calculations with the air temps and such where the apexi has pre base calculations where it just grabs them. Now this is what I have been told by someone, now I might not have fully understood what he said but it was something along that line I might have got it a bit mixed up. I did speak to Ben from R.P and he has been a great help, I am going to take my car down there for the tune as he knows the apexi systems really well

That is the next thing i what to do, as soon as i sort out what iam going to do with ecu's ill pm Sydneykid about some nice suspension. The drivers side has a slight sag to it. I was thinking my currrant set up re-sealed but i want to ask Sydneykid first what are his thoughts about this. Thanks GTRgeoff

Ok iam looking around the 270kw mark. Also the original ecu has been played with, which makes the car run a bit lean, also because of it been played with the idle control is stuffed as well. I have had the ecu checked and it's not worth fixing simply because I would like a bit more power. I have no choice but to get rid of the ecu. I have heard of race pace and also have heard that he is the man to see about PFC, however he is not cheap, and that he is fairly busy. I should speak to him in person about it first. Before this becomes a war over witch ecu is better I think we all need to agree that in the end of the day it's the tuner isn't it? the reasons why so far I like the wolf's is that they are local, if there is a problem they have a life time warranty, when an upgrade software comes out you won't be waiting long for your ecu to come back to you, No air flow meters and it has a boost controller. I also like the pfc too and my reasons are that from what I have herd that they retain better idle, The base maps are better, there are more tuners out there that can tune them, If there is anything I have left out please let me know...

Dose anyone know if someone here in Australia can repair PFC's if there happens to be a problem with one or do they have to be sent back to Japan for repair?

As far as i am aware they are a straight swap over same as the pfc and also comes with a base map so you too can drive it to a tuner. I am still weighing up the cost's at the moment. But it seems to me ( and i could be wrong here) that a lot of tuners are using the pfc. I think thats mainly because the wolf have a lot more features and more load points.

I like the fact that with a wolf they have a lifetime warranty and that they are a local product, Also that they are roughly the same price as the PFC, But one of my mates knows someone selling there PFC for $800 with hand controller. That’s why I have asked the question. I have been trying to way up the costs. Now if I want to change airflow meters I will need to fork out an extra $$. Ill just have a think about how much power do I want, because if I want big hp in the end I think it's going to be better to get a wolf for the fact that I can get away with not using afm as such and I don't need to buy a boost controller. Like I said ill think about it and see if I can find out more about the two, i.e. same car same mods different ecu and compare the two. Value for money. Also I think two that in the end of the day it comes down to the tuner... Thanks again for all your help ppl ill keep you all posted as to what route to choose ,

Thanks for that, I did ring them up spoke to Vic, He is more of a wolf specialist, he said to me that if I want to go the pfc route I should speak to Ben from race pace, all in all he was very nice to me and said to me that at the end of the day it's up to me to choose what i want. He's really passionate about what he dose which is a must. Can you please give me some reasons as to why I shouldn't go the wolf option? It's all fair and just to say one thing but it's also good to state reasons, I am not having a go at you I would just like to hear your opinion(s) on why.

Hi all I just bought a R32 GTR and I love it. I have driven a few cars in my time and so far I have found the GTR the most fun to drive. The way you can throw it around is unreal. The car is stock exp for zorst and turbos which has hks 25, 30’s. I was looking at getting an ecu but there are so many to choose from I don't know what to get. This is what I have being tossing up between so far, PFC, WOLF3D v. 4. Has anyone hear used the wolf, I know most ppl hear are using the PFC just would kike to know what the wolf's are like. Also I live out near Airport west, can anyone recommend a good work shop out that way or any way around this side of town or along the western ring road towards Epping? Any help would be great. By the way this is far the best forum out there for Nissans keep up the good work...
