Righto... Interesting comments...

Well the best thing to do it search the forums "for sale" sections for a pfc...

However that said there are very few round these days and the ones that are fetch top dollar as said above...

May also wanta check out ebay as they seem to get listed from time to time...

Welcome to Queensland mate!

good to see you like the right kinda car!

as for the mighty power FC.. hmm. try what the other guys said!

or ebay.. you may have to sell you first born to pay for it though.. demand has totally skyrocked!

I have seen a few for sale in the USA on the net.. hunt around.. u might get lucky! if you see 2 of them. buy em! lol!

So, now u live in Qld, you need to know a few things..

1: We talk a bit different here.. the slang may be hard for you to grasp sometimes! lol

2: We are, generally speaking a bunch of lazy bums!

3: y do it today? there is always tomoz!

4: hmmm.. too lazy to continue!

umm, what part of Qld do you live in anyhow?

Welcome welcome mummsie... when I saw the username I thought you were going to be some MILF with a wicked car :)

I managed to find just one supplier on ebay with a small stock of them for $1500 AU, which is only a little bit more expensive than they were a year ago (about $900). If that's what he wants then the extra $600 is worth it, it really is still a cheap little unit for what it does. IMHO they're not the be all and end all of aftermarket computers, but they certainly do their job well, we've got one of the R32 and it's been no end of help when we've been stuck in places with shit fuel, checking things like knock and tracking various other information. Hope you manage to get one for him!

Linky ;)Power FC to suit R33 GTST on ebay - ENJOY!

EDIT: I don't know why the link isn't working right now, it might work later, but in any case, just search www.ebay.com for the item number 320189150225

Yep, mine was $1500 brand new in box with Hand Controller JP Performance or something they are called. Nice blokes, kept in contact all the way thru the process, took 2 days to get to me from Japan via Fedex.

You're a pain in the ass Marki. And I don't believe a word of your $830 bullshit. But it doesn't stop me from wanting your babies :)

PS. I got mine for free. Read it and weep suckaz. Little dave from NSW gave it to me. I'm still trying to figure the best way to turn the screen blue haha and contrary to popular belief, blue cellophane doesn't work.

Well, I got my apexi out of a smash! $550 with map that wasn't too far from where it needed to be :D

But the Hand controller didn't make it... Had to buy one.. So I waited for another smash! And yep, got it for $150 delivered in its box with the manual!

But its not the end of the world if you miss out.. plenty of other ECU brands will happily take your $$$. Or just pull a stunt like i did!

Keep an eye out in the QLD Events section for stuff to do with other SAU people.. cruises, drags, skid pans, shopping.. check it out

      Depends how low and tyre size. Should fit with natural camber, skinny tyres and rolled guards.

      They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.

      Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?

      I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
