Hey guys,

Did a search, nothing i was looking for.

Was wondering how do you guys mount your PFCs??

Theres a bracket to bolt up the standard ecu, but the pfc doesn't have the screw holes for the bracket to bolt up to.

so...yea how do you guys do it? cable ties? duct tape?

Just trying to save myself 50bux....

much appreciated

I just used the bottom part of the bracket from the old ECU and then used the supplied velcro (about 3 big bits) to stick it to that. Works well, seems secure enough.

Sand back the purtruding bolt washer, so that the pfc can be put on the bracket inside on the original bracket then use double sided tape to put the ecu on. Bolt up bracket as normal.

If that makes any sense.. Basically both parts of the original bracket can be used.

was about to unbolt the brackets assembly...until something else hit me...

what about the controller cable? did you guys drill a small hole for it on the top bracket?

....i don't have anything here since i moved house...

if thats the case then guess will just pay the 50 bux...

was more worried about time spent tuning it than the 50 as the place is only going to open for 3 hours on saturday.

If the tuner installs it + tune...do you guys think it can all be done well in 3 hours time?

ok sweet...still...i don't see how it'll fit without drilling holes in the top bracket for the commander cable

if time runs out i might just passenger floor it too...

haha..that is povo tho...

i got mine 2nd hand (so no velcro) just before the prices rocketed thru...wtf hey? i saw a 2nd hand on ebay going for 1400.....

its like 100% profit tax free... but love for powerfc overcame monetry gains.

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.

      Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds

      Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.

      Wheel refurb?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
