If I hadn't already pre-paid for mine I would take it for $1300 today! I paid a little less, but it's still 1-2 weeks away and I'd be willing to pay the extra to get it now now now! Anyone that's even thinking of getting a PowerFC is insane to pass this up for $1300 :(

If the car it has come off has similar mods you can probably get away with a tune similar to what has been programmed into it.

What I plan on doing with mine is taking the map that I have (for a GTS-t with similar mods to mine) and maybe adjust everything to around the halfway point between this map and stock, and see what happens.

Road tuning will be essential, but it should be a lot easier this way than having absolutely nothing to go off. Once everything is as good as I can get it, take it to the dyno and get a professional tuner to tweak it a bit more. Should cost a lot less than a full-blown tune from scratch.

Craved,

You might also want to keep in mind that Buster's hardware setup & power output is very different to yours so a full tune will probably (I reckon definately but I could be wrong) be neccesary.

p.s. this is assuming that your mods list in your sig is complete

I'd say that his level of mods would turn out that the tuning points used by brett and what he'd need wouldn't even intersect.

Sounds like it has been sold though.

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      R33 fuel setup

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
