FYI - Response from Haltech Sales this morning...

Hi There,

I don't know where you heard that we were having problems with our ECUs for the R32,I can assure you that is NOT the case.

I didn't mean to get anything started. I just wanted to know the ups and downs of both systems. I talked to my local Haltech dealer/tuner; they said they were not aware of any recall on the e11v2.

I would like to get a power fc but I will not pay $1200 US or more for a used unit! Then you have to get the software and it's about $250US. So I'm looking at the least $1450US for a used Power FC. That to me is just too much. I can get a NEW E11v2 with the software and the plug and play harness for around the same price.

Now I know people are saying that you can get a new Power FC at different times as Apexi is releasing them a few at a time. I have contacted EVERY Apexi dealer that I can find in the states and they ALL tell me the same thing, they "might" get some in but they're not sure when. I "might" get one if I want to pay for it now and be put on a list and wait 4-6 months. That's nuts!

So I guess my decision has been made for me buy Apexi! From what I understand they are having some issue with their manufacture and are trying to find a different one. I can't believe a company as big as Apexi would be having such an issue with this and with their finances.

that is how it is, Apexia the parent company of apexi was at the state of being declared bankrupt late last year. they are working back now but alot of there high end products are now hard to get ahold of. i was gonna go a PFC for my R34 but the thing is i can not get a hold of a new one because of that problem (similar problem to yours) as for the two systems they are much for muchness the simplicity and tune ability of the PFC. or the slightly more difficult to install and tune e11v2 which does have a few small things over the PFC ( but your not the one tuning it so doesn't matter) either way neither unit is bad. to prove the PFC anyway, i have a mate with a S13 SR20DET with a PFC not a problem and with 398rwkw last i saw it on a dyno it speaks for it's shelf. but to hard to get a hold of these days so enough said :)

^^^ ive been buying PFC from steve at access in melb http://www.accessauto.com.au/ as they ALWAYS have stock (no r33 though) other guys keep you waiting for ages claiming no-one has any stock.... genuine dealers have pretty good stock though as they are considered priority.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Yucky. Things haven't gotten any better though. Now you have Emerson and Honeywell pushing these massive DCS/Scada things with proprietary hardware. They're not a PLC, they're not a computer, they're a...distibuted PLCish/DCSish monster of thing, that only they can program because they make the barriers to entry for anyone else so fricking high. And their developers are all located in the third/developing world (and India, in case anyone does not include that place in that category) and there are terrible failings of the ESl variety, of the care and common sense variety, and f**king forget about Functional Safety. Not a one of them has any idea what it means to comply with an IEC 615xx series standard.

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By pogman · Posted

      All of the ECU grounds are to the chassis, the IGN grounds are to the cylinder head and i believe all the OEM body harness are left in original locations, im trying to work out if i can tell if the sensor voltage itself is losing any power to it from the very low ECU voltage. But yeah a manual pressure gauge will help in picking which path to actually chase. Also please dont bully my wiring plan i never designed it to be universally understood hopefully it still can make sense to you, im a wiring virgin.  1 thing i have just noticed the pressure sensor in question relays both pressure and temperature, the temperature reading holds nice and steady despite the low ecu voltage but the pressure reading is the one that jumps around alot so maybe it is really a pressure issue? wiring plan.xlsx

      RB25DET Solid lifter conversion

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Gday, Due to not finding much up to date info on this topic I thought I'd make a thread to get peoples latest opinions/recommendations. Background info -  I've got a S1.5 R33 GTST as a fun project car, mainly for street use and occasional drag strip, apart from all the cosmetic things I'll be doing a full rebuild of the engine with forged internals. Since it'll be getting new cams (kelford) and springs to match I thought I might as well get new lifters and valves while I'm at it, the dash says 160k KMs but the engine seems pretty tired, compression measures about 130psi across all cylinders so I'd like to freshen everything up. This is where I'm tempted to just fork out the extra and go solid lifters while it's all apart, aiming for 400-450kw atw with a flex tune. Assuming all supporting mods (oiling, fuel and all bolt ons) with a lightly ported head and turbo to match (yet to make a decision possibly gtx3582r or similar from Hypergear) I've seen the Tomei kits with just the buckets getting around, Supertech sells most things - Supertech High Performance Cam Followers | Trusted Racing Cam Followers Questions -  Has anyone found the Hydraulic lifters to limit them at this power level? Is it usually found that you can just clean the stock lifters and find they work fine?  Does going solid lifters save any headaches/issues with hydraulic lifters in the future? Any recommendations on other things that will need to be replaced, I know I'll need to get the solid profile cams but can you use the same type of valves and springs/retainers and is it recommended to change the guides and stem seals?    Summary -  Basically looking for pros/cons and wanna know if I'll actually need the extra RPMs from solid lifters or it'll just be bragging rights to say it ReVs OvEr 8000 Cheers

      Ha ha ha, this stuff they had was installing Toshiba PLCs that were made some time in the 1990s, and they were replacing GEM80 PLCs. To let those two talk (staged upgrade along a ~1.2km long building that was split into 4 sections), was a bunch of WinXP machines running Java gateways... There was no way to put something like ProfiSafe in... Most of the HMI machines were WinXP, with Java program, with a custom button board emulating a keyboard... About the only buttons in the operator stations that went direct to the PLCs was the eStop. There was some interesting design stuff in that place...
