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!
