Other cheap options include Adaptronic and the Nistune stuff. Both are good options and will do eveything you need it to. The Adaptronic also has autotune like Motec systems and multiple trigger options including the optical Nissan sensor. Nistune are like a PowerFC without a couple of the bells and whistles but with all the mapping adjustability you could want.

I was kind of suspicious when I looked at their site and the LT-10S was recommended for 4 cylinder cars - If I'd known what these ECU's were prone to being like before buying the car I'd have gotten another one!

I know that I have to send the ECU back to Microtech to get something changed in it to run VCT, and I have tried to contact them in the past and look on their forum RE my ATTESSA issue, but I've only got one car so it's kind of hard to just pull the ECU out and leave it sitting there for weeks on end. I am also heartily sick of driving a car which gets ~270km to a full tank, even though RB25's can be kinda thirsty, that's ridiculous for only having a KKR 480 and being driven on the highway mostly!

Depending on the wiring (which I'm pretty sure is still mostly the RB20 stuff since it runs the RB20 igniter etc), I'm leaning more towards Nistune; my mates reckon remaps are just as good, but I guess that the tuner I end up going to can elaborate more on that.

Whilst the PowerFC is popular amongst import owning friends, as well as the remap, I find the price of a RB25DET PowerFC + Z32 AFM to be kind of prohibitive, and I am also sceptical about the real 'need' for one in a car that is only mildly modded.

On the good side of the Microtech though, the display is handy, and has warning lights for max injector duty, overboosting and a shift light, and I can monitor injector pulse, coolant temp, volts, boost and RPM with it, and when I had overboosting problems when trying to set up my Profec A boost controller, and cooler pipes slipping off, it cut (ignition I think?), which although scary is better than a blown motor!

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
