Small batches are still being made of the Power FC's with the next one being finished on the 25th but production has definately slowed and is messing with business for some reason :P

And with that price will surely raise quite a bit won't it?

Bought one from JPS Trading on eBay just a few minutes ago, $754 US shipped to Sweden.

Only four RB25DET R33 PFC:s left on eBay, better hurry :verymad:

lol, looks like when i decide to ditch my pfc (whenever that time comes) i'll be able to pull some coin for it.

kinda sucks tho as the pfc is possibly the best drop in replacement for our motors, aem is fickle and works half the time and the others are just horribly expensive or dont support maf.

My supplier still has a bundle... maybe apexi' is just messing with us to make a quick buck?

But i did hear a while ago that it was becoming hard to make a buck in the performance parts game over in japan - i find that a bit hard to believe but i'm not an apexi executive and i dont know what the overheads and supplier costs are.

this sounds about right. its one of the main reason apexi pull out of the d1 in japan and move over to the drift series in the US. they said there wasnt a big enough market for there products or something!

also my supplier still got many of them too :)

Straight from the horse mouth so to speak.

Hey Chris,

And i quote

As for the Power FC’s well the rumors are kind of a bit true but not completely, we can still get hold of most of them except for the R33 GTST, R34 GTT which are discontinued and there is no stock of. The S14 Series 1, S14 Series 1 D-Jetro, MR2 SW20 and the GC8/GF8 (A~C) are also discontinued but there is still a limited amount of stock available of these units. Everything else is fine, maybe not in stock but still under production. There will be stock of everything except the discontinued models listed above by the end of December for some and by the end of January for others.

What I have said in that they are discontinued isn’t to say that they will never be coming back into production but as they can not say when they plan to be they have classed all of them as discontinued.

Well hopes this helps a little.

why doesnt everyone just wait and see what apexi brings out next

im sure there will be a replacment for the pfc and im sure it will be better

They probably will...but no doubt it'll be more expensive and have a host of features that I do not want or need :)

      I recently got their dbw 74mm throttle body and pedal kit. It is sensational quality especially the wiring harnesses. Unfortunately I can’t answer u about the fitment to stock inlet manifold as I’m going Rahjab Racing forward plenum. Only one thing to be careful of is understand u have to pay gst and import fees if your purchase is over $1,000 in one shipment.

      yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.
