yeah looks like it mate. I cannot move forward with the PFC anymore.. I have learnt all i need to know about PFC's.. time to move onto bigger and better things.

haha know that tune well, changing ecu's is always part of evolution and can only ever increase ones skillset.

My car is a car of two halves...

engine... sound system...

Reckon you can tune my subs and see if you can beat the kws I'm getting out of it? :P

just make sure that...

KW > dB

nothing worse than seeing a car with more dB than KW

that would be hard out of a skyline seeing as how the world record is about 180db...

But I'm working on it, don't worry :P

My sound system actually has 3kw of power... pretty weird to think about :D

Yeah... i got many years ahead of me before i catch you trent :P

On your current setup will you be able to go further by just changing the ECU? Where exactly is the PFC falling short?

Yes... The PFC is a great ecu. and it can do my power levels and much more. but seeing that i like to play nutty professor i need something that is more flexible to my needs.

I still love power fc's they are great. But this ecu came up and its time to make the switch, ive delayed it long enough. Hope it all works out.

ecu will be told when its in and working :kiss:

Yeah but WHAT ECU have you changed to???

We're all dieing to know, I'm surprised no-one has asked yet or did I miss something..........

well what ever it is (and ive got a bit of an idea what it could be if Dirt is involved)

you need to post the obligatry anti-lag flames out the exhaust video once uve got it all working haha

but seriously hope it all goes well,

im keen to see how she tunes up, differences you notice, and how all those new features work

ohhh i can do that now with my current setup.. Gizzmo launch controll FTW

GT from what I can see PFC's are fine for doing most of the things that users need in a programmable EMS .

I suppose more specialised uses (ALS/Launch etc) they're a bit limited but for what I want it'll do the job .

Things like the ability to self learn would be useful and I can see this feature becoming more and more important with the way emissions laws are going . If the systems can be made to self tune from basic maps then thats the hardest part for the end user solved .

BTW are you going to continue on with a mass air sensor or are you going to the dark side with an electric barometer ? LOL .

Cheers A .

BTW what system is the EPA using to analyse the exhaust gas , ages ago I remember reading that there is a method of shining a particular kind of light through the gas and by measuring the beam on the other side its possible to see the different levels of certain gasses .

im going over to the dark side mate. I am pretty sure with this ECU i can add a MAF if the MAP sensor pisses me off (this is a very good quality ecu so apparently this will not happen)

As for how the IM240 machine works at the RTA, i have NO idea.

But i do know how the machine reads, what it reads for and whats acceptable levels for whatever car.. I also know what levels are high medium and low when doing the dummy IM240 tests on the dyno instead of the guesswork i have been using previously.

Should be tuning another car for emissions very soon.

Good to see your dropping the Power FC finally.

Once you have the scope of something better you'll never look back. Id asume what ever your going to be using will be TPS/Map correction like the E11?

Generally I have only ever seen the RTA use a proper 5 gas analiser very similar to the Coda unit that anthony has access to.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
