I'm sure you could swap with a place like niswreck or just buy one then sell yours, and o2 sensors arn't the end of the world.... I got my nistune suplied and re-mapped for $750.. and i actually took out my power fc to do so...

Power fc's are great but you must remember they are not calibrated for a forged motor... each forged motor that is hand built/ not as tight tollerences/ run in differently are essentially different motors have more or less piston rattle and can produce a different harmonic frequency.

nistune have far better knock protection over powe fc, keep all factory settings, cops cant see it, amd a hell of a lot cheaper.... im a really big fan

WTF are you on about?

You can tune a Power FC much the same as a stock ECU with Nistune. Your motor internals have no effect. Knock detection uses the same knock sensor regardless of PFC or Nistune.

But I too am a fan of Nistune :P

yes they are the same in the sence its a editable ecu... but as far as i am aware power fc does not have a knock map, where once knock has been detect above limits it hits knock map and retards 4degrees of timing???

also yes power fc uses knock sensors, yes nistune uses knock sensors but what good is both protection if you have piston rattle that may / or may not have same frequency as what nissan engineers spent many many hours putting a "STOCK" motor into severve detonation to record the frequency???

it was just a point i mentioned, as many people buy power fc because it has a live "knock count" and spend 5X as nistune but as many tuners have said to me as soon as you change the slightest thing eg, exhaust your changing the motor and possibly the harmonics.

another example people might have devoleped a knock count to find something loose in the engine bay to be the fault not detonation.

    • Nah, you failed to pay your washer cover subscription and BMW have revoked your access.
    • Haha thanks Lith,  So it's currently working quite well and the torque reduction is setup and working phenomenal. It also got a custom torque convertor from All Fast in WA. Stall speed somewhere around 5500rpm unlocked but still with the lockup. The car went back onto the dyno after a 3yr hiatus (even with the dbw, and other mods completed in this time) managed to make ~515kw at all 4 hubs. Sean setup the Torque reduction which now sounds awesome and working well. We setup adjustable torque controlled launch control aswell.  Man what a feature. Especially when drag racing on street tyres I Managed to get out to the drags late last year and tick a huge bucket list item off of running mine and the cars first 9. Car went a 9.98 @142 Still had the young fellas car seat in the back aswell.  This was on 255/40/17 Nankang AR-1.  Currently the Turbolamik is still completing it's own torque calcs and managing shift times from there. Unfortunately emtrons can export is still a little restrictive to export the ecu calculated torque just yet but I have recently been suggested a work around that I just haven't had a chance to trial yet.     
    • Yeah its bad eh. Ey! Watch your mouth. Yep, spot on. The rear's are always gone too though from brake checking. I had them perilously close to a tree that we had taken down. I think the tree peeps may have taken it. Either for a trophy, or accidentally.  
    • f**kin' yikes! That insulation is the shittest stuff I have ever seen. You need to do an insurance job on that f**ker, pronto. WRT to the washer cover, I would have said that there'd have to be some at a wrecker, then remembered that it's a BMW, and reasoned that every single wrecked one would have been tailgating and so the front end would be trashed.
