Sadly your chances are slim to none.

They are near impossible to find now in Japan, and don't think that because its Japan they will be much cheaper than here as there is the same if not more demand for them over there and they are fetching some huge prices second hand!

Agreed, I was helping some people try and buy them and they were "bargain hunting"... the prices on those are going UP!!!! If you find one, then pay whatever it costs, because you can bet that IF you see another one, it will cost more than the last one you saw.

So the answer to your question "where I can get them to get me a second hand power fc that works for cheap" is unfortunately, nowhere.

p.s. Blitz, you might want to change the price for that R33 PowerFC in your sig. You shouldn't give it away like that.

I have an RB25 Power FC, if you could get the model number I could be willing to work out a deal with you.. and I won't rape you.. just trying to help out car people.

However, if you can navigate your way through UpGarage.com I have seen them going for 500-600 USD

AP-414-N012 and I wish you good luck. I had a quick look through Up Garage and couldn't find any.

But as a guide to what they are worth, have a look at these auctions and what they FINISH at.

Those are serial numbers so every unit has a different one. The RB25 bit is promising. Check the pictures in the links I posted.

But honestly, stick it on Yahoo and let people fight over it rather than giving it away on here.

lol buy now at $1500+

weird how i was in hong kong 2 months ago, and those guys seemed to have them in stock for just a lil over $1000 AUD with hand controller

should have bought a few and sold them here and make some $$$, probally fake though lol

If people could make fake PowerFCs it would be great, Apexi can't make real ones so at least it would give people another option.

I think it was just a case of some people in HK not knowing the value of what they had. Which is very unusual.

I feel like such a noob. I had a chance to buy 3 of them at the nismo festival a year ago... instead i bought an Rb26 nismo head gasket and a set of 350 zed brakes...made money but ...well...noobness at its best.

    • 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...
    • Stock bypass valves are good for plenty of boost.
    • Check for fuel flow out of the outlet end of the rail. Check for spark. Try to start with aerostart (or pressure can brake cleaner or similar solvent in a car) prayed in through TB. If you have fuel and you have spark and it will fire on substitute fuel, then seriously suspect that E85 sitting for ages in your fuel system has destroyed something and put it in your injectors.
