Hey Paul,

Yes I have warranty card and the birth certifiicate.and velcro stickers, and the manual is in jap.

Very nice to drive with compared to stock, really smooth , But that may be the Tomei Pump and the Hks Gt-Rs helping too lol :D

Edited by gtstcoupe

those f**king flamin mongrels have increased there unit price fromm 882 - 1212

I will find out why and let you know, but it looks like these guys area no go now.

Why does this have to happen to me.

imagine how i am feeling right now

i will have the cash for it in a couple of weeks and now they have dogged me. Thats the thanks i get for helping them out with business

I emailed them last night, they told me us1200 del to aus, ive just emailed them back to say i still want the unit n cont but they wont be recieving thier shipment for 2 weeks. I dont want a 2nd hand one and this way i have a warrenty with it. They also said that they have a long waiting list so i asked politely cos im an aussie its hard to get in contact with them being the hours diff n when i work that if they could make sure i get 1 from this shipment. i hope this works!!!

Ive seen them on ebay for well over aus1350 so paying a little extra to make sure its new in the box with warrenty is worth it i believe.

Tell them to get f**ked and you will take your business else where

I have found others in similar price range from other apexi official dealers in the usa, i am sure you can too

This time i am going to keep quiet about it until i get one.

ha ha ha ive been searching and keep finding other shit n surfing, i can understand how they put the price up but i dont see why sooooooo much. Shit happens hey, the gov puts the prices up on juice for my car n i dont see how but it has to be done the reckon. The way i see it, in a years time or so the power fc unit will be 1200 without the controller. Im thinking more in the lines as an investment at the moment more then a toy to play with.

Because the pricks figured out that they cost bucket loads more over here eg 1500 second hand and then they got a mass flood of australians who want to order and they go :) Lets jack the price cause we know they are still better off and we can make a killing out of those kangaroo humping dundees

As my ol' man says, wod ya do, shit happens. As i said, im seeing it as an investment. Think of what houses were 5 years ago n the demand to them now. The way i see it, mine will cost about 2k for the unit n counting, but in the meantime i have something i can use to make my car better yet more efficient whilst having fun. Im trying to be the devils advocate i spose. Yeah its a dof the up'd the price but tell me another unit that would do the same. Ive researched a bit about ecu's n found that this is one of the very better ones. Im happy to pay the price for it, if people dont understand why, fair enough but im going to be having one whilst they dont. I think i come out the winner IMO.

Sounds to me like you're trying to convince yourself more then us :banana:

The price was one of the main points too... if it hits 2k at any point, might as well go Haltech or something...

yeah maybe your right, ive just heard such good reults from the power fc, honestly cant find much tuning info about the haltech. Im happy paying US1200 del for the results ive heard thruout this website n beyond. Im seem to find that alot of people are using these units n r happy with them. Im able to find more info on pwoer fs's then any other unit i believe available for my car n needs.

Hey Guys,

That so sucks, I wonder if its Direct tunning putting up the price or Apexi USA,

I am really hoping its not put up beacuse of the reasons we are thinking, If so i and all of us would be very very dissapointed in them :ermm:

$1200 is still good for new, But $1000 was better.

I may send an email and see what going of for you guys cause this really sucks,And makes me not happy Jan. :D

Well they replied back and said that they put it up because apexi was getting complaints from other companys about direct tunings low price " allegedly"

Anyways my persistant searching has paid off and i have found one unit for even less then there previous great price. So when i have purchased hopefully goes through today if anyone is interested pm me and i will tell you who they are etc...

But not until i sought myself out first this time :(

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
