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.

    • Gas MIG for learning, I was able to weld up some nice 1.6mm tubs so you can do thin stuff easily enough. Then moved on to thick caliper adaptor brackets with the same machine, all good.  Arc/Stick is great for dirty garden work etc, but Gas MIG for starting on car stuff.  Jump on the NCR FB page and search ATP Tubs or GKTech caliper adaptors for pics/info. I'm no pro but it wasn't hard to learn. Be willing to grind and go again though if it's cold etc. 
    • That's not a bushing!  
    • Oh and I got myself a grandpa spec dash mat.  
    • Ok, so first round of maintenance done. I didn't get much history with the car but I know it was well looked after. That isn't enough for me though, so ...  I had to do the oil filter housing gasket. It was leaking a lot, and also as part of that I did the anti-return valve and the VANOS oil line (from HEL).  But, then I got hit with the while-ya-in-there's. Did both accessory and A/C belts, tensioners and pulley. The accessory belt that came off had a huge hole in it, like somebody hung it up with a nail. The pulley and tensioners seem ok, so I'll keep those just in case. I did water pump and pump pulley. The water pump had a small bit of play so timing was good.  I also did fan clutch. I don't know how to test the old one but between the water pump and the fan clutch the car is running a little bit cooler (not much ~2 - 3 degrees maybe) so good result. Unfortunately the thermostat and housing didn't turn up in time so I'll shelve those. I have no concerns at all on the current ones.  Then I spent what seemed like 40 days and 40 nights bleeding the air from the cooling system. She also got new air filter, fuel filter and did a Mobil 1 change with oil filter. Hilariously, not an hour after telling my wife how proud I was of myself to be going slowly and meticulously and making sure everything was torqued and nothing missing I went and started it without the oil filter in. The car complained immediately of no pressure and after only a few seconds I turned it off and discovered a shit tonne of oil on the driveway. Sigh. I've driven it since and thankfully doesn't seem to be any problems. AND THEN during the test drive a ratchet extension fell into the battery area in the boot and JAMMED right next to the positive terminal and the car body. Like, just touching it made sparks and it was jammed in there. So, almost killed the engine and then almost burned the car to a crisp. Good start. This was the rails under the splash guards. So stoked, she's straight as and super clean. No rust anywhere. There was a heap of caked dirt that I removed but otherwise looked great. All 4 jacking points are perfect.   Next I want to service the gearbox. Sometimes it's a little reluctant to shift up and I'm hoping a fluid change will sort it. I also have 4 new rear subframe bushes. They're as big as a toddler. I'm renting a tool to help put them in. I can't wait for this because its a bit crashy back there at the moment.
