hi, i have a huge problem with my skyline where it continues to cut all power once i hit a certain boost level. im not talking about alot of boost either like 12-13 perhapes. anyways with my previous swift gti i bought a remap ecu chip which soldered onto my factory ecu and it worked wonders. better fuel, heaps zippier and allowed it to rev 8600.

i really dont wanna go out and buy a PwrFC for $1500 off ebay, then tune it, etc. i was wondering if you guys think this would actually (a) solve my problem and, (b) increase some more pwr out of the car.

im just not sure what another option is. im sitting on 160rwkw at 12psi cause of the cut off :thumbsup: plus i dont think my engine likes it this way.

heres one similar to what i bought on my swift: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/R32-Skyline-ECU-Sta...bayphotohosting

a re-map will help,

the power cut you get could be caused by spark plug gaps, i think stock they are 1.1mm so drop them to .8mm, the spark plugs themselves could be wrong or on there way out, could also be a dodgy coil pack, they are the simple things to look at first.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
