Hey guys

i realise the power fc's stoped production for r33 gtst but i know you can still get some if you shop around. What would you expect to pay for them now and is it worth the mark up?

I searched the forums but didnt find what i was after. i heard that once you start tunning for big power the power fc is not the best ECU for the job because you cant adjust boost levels or something to specific measurements (hope this makes sense) is this true? cos ive been saving up for a haltec e11 ($2150) but if i can get a power fc cheaper ill consider it. (im chasing a street tune of around 270rwkw max)

Sorry but, search.

It's not that hard and you will find your answers quicker than waiting for replies in many cases.

I'd pay around 1,200-1,600 depending on condition of the unit and it must come with the hand controller and even that's overpriced fairly stupidly.

Expect to pay that much for discontinued stuff that is still useable.

Click on the link in my SIG about getting power FC's. they are still available and Apexi are still making them BUT they are only available through Apexi.

Click the link below and get yourself one before the demand stops and they stop making them.

If you still need help here is the link and read the second post of the thread all the info you need is there.

Thanks heaps for that. I think i might go with that place from your sig.

There used to be one in the For Sale section without the hand controller for $900 i think,

THat would be a good option if the condition is ok.

I'd go without the hand controller and cough up the $500-ish for the Datalogit instead.

If the car is tuned well, the hand controller doesn't really serve much purpose but it is nice to look at i guess.

i think i might go for a haltec instead as i would need to buy a better AFM with the power FC so i would be looking at around $1950 all up. I can get a good deal on a new Haltec for $2000 running MAf (or MAF less the one that i dont need an air flow meter)

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
