[UNR33L]

lawl

[KURAUN]

wow lol @ lancer

those recaro's are ewwwwwww!

lol thats why you buy the ct9a chassis from 7 onwards

9s have the best recaros imo

[krzysiu]

I got my powerfc brand new for 1400 from the states.

[funkymonkey]

picked up PFC for $800 secondhand for my old 32 GTR about 3 years ago, got a PFC for the S14 new from japan delivered for $1250 about 2 years ago.

surely it can't go up in price.

sif run a PFC these days anyways when there's other ECU's with better sampling, non proprietary interfaces and allowance for many more ancillary switches and signals, including OBD emulation.

[bluejeans]

yeah why is it that ECR33 PFC more expensive than BCNR33 PFC ?

im guessing demand?

[Basti]

ecr33 gtst are out of production, but gtr arent. this was a year or so ago when apexi went bust

[bluejeans]

ahh of course

on another note JJR order tracking doesnt work

[KURAUN]

wasnt apex'i was a sub company of them AP Engineering that went bust

when it did places were asking for like $2500 for a new power fc for gtst's O_o

apexi isn't bankrupt. they're still carrying out business as usual. some smart sellers have used this excuse to bump up prices.

Apexi did reshuffle their powerFC lineup though. They relegated units for engines that were 10 years out of production to the Apex Engineering line, and only kept the ones newer than 10 years (hence RB26, SR20, RB25 Neo) in stock and available off the shelf. The older units are still available, but as special order at minimal extra cost.

just cos your agent can't be arsed putting in that order and then getting it to you, does not mean that it's not available or should be much more expensive.

[Basti]

fair enough.

[bluejeans]

funky what ECU for ECR33 would you recommend then?

need to start saving!

NEC stopped producing the chip used in the 25det unit

ecr33 gtst are out of production, but gtr arent. this was a year or so ago when apexi went bust

no... it was before that happened... see above

for stealth/price nistune is king

for functionality/value vipec

for street cred - motec

[bluejeans]

thanks mate

bahahahahahhaa

[krzysiu]

Vtec!!!!!!!!!

[KURAUN]

might be change of plans..... no sideskirt/rearbar extensions and vortex generator

maybe td06 20g

[krzysiu]

Nice but then supporting mods = $$$

[KURAUN]

injectors and pump thats it (know of someone not even running those) injectors are cheap for evos anyway

so could even use a fuel reg and pump prob

heaps more power and lag is like 300rpms more
