hey, man, that's a awesome idea, i m into 1 too. Some how im in new zealand auckland, do u mind send it to meif i pay for the postage ? do i just need to buy a brand new set of ECU and hand controller for RB26 , does it have to be R33 or R32 ?

cheers cant wait for your result

if we buy the loom from you, do we have to give you the FC's we get to change around settings? im a little confused...

i would be getting it tuned by trent (autobarn trader on ns.com) you know the road tunes...

cheers

I heard the Apexi pfc are not available for auto's but have to be modded or programmed to suit is this true??

R33 PFC works fairly well on auto, i have tuned about 4 now, not perfect but most dont notice the small short comings.

Well I can tell you, if this works out good, I'll definately start spreading the word from RS Performance (my business) for all those up here in the States who want a PFC for a RB20 and 25... Myself included.

don't worry Paul, about a 1/3 of people won't front with the coin at crunch time >_<

normally i'd agree. but seriously.. its the god of tuning for skylines (ssh those who think its not the best for $) .. make it happen or we riot your ass....just kidding :mellow:.

If im too impatient Paul I will get a Greddy emanage Ultimate... but as I am now saving for rims. My first 1,500 or whatever the feck its gonna cost me for you to get this working will go to you when the timing is right. make it happen.

Paul - I am a big fan of your work (your Power FC FAQ has been of great help to individual tuners and workshops alike), AND this thread - an affordable Power FC solution for HCR32 owners has always been a hole in Apex's range - and not to mention loss of the ECR33 unit. Air temp is a pretty exciting addition too...

I believe Australian skyline owners acceptance of power FC as such a benchmark tuning tool is in no small part assisted by you. Going out of your way to help educate and support others on an item that otherwise had not a great deal of "freely available" tech info (certianly in english anyway).

Will be watching this thread with great interest. More power to you!

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 馃槂
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
