About to place the Order for the RB20. Question, Can the PFC drive low impedance injectors? I know the R32 RB20 is High impedance. I have a set of low impedance 660cc injecotors that I am goin to use. Do I need to add inline resistors to use them? And Thanks for pointing me to the PFC for the RB20 guys.

Whatever happened to the Yanks building tough 10sec untubbed RS Camaros??? We seem to be getting a lot of posts about RB engines...can i guess, RB20 in an S13 (240SX)...all good though!

As for the Apexi Power Fc for the RB20DET, i think you will find that new they are harder to find then other PFcs intended for other RB engines. 2nd hand they are rarer again.

And you are right, the Power Fc requires injectors of the same impedence as factory, so yeh you need high impedence injectors if you are to use the PFc. I have just finished wiring in a resistor pack off a GTR to allow me to use low impedence GTR injectors in my RB20, and was surprised how easy it was to wire up. If only i coudl find a Power Fc for Aus$1,000.

You can run a RWD PFC with low impedance injectors - only need the resitor pack wired in (have got it in my ECR33 - low buck GTR 444cc injectors are used w/std GTR rail). Turns out a hell of a lot cheaper than buying side feed injectors.

roy, you are joking aren't you??? surely brent from nengun can get you one for ~$1000

About 12months ago when i tried him he wasnt able to help me out, perhaps if i dropped him a line every 2-3 months, or tried again he could help me out...i dont know.

For the time being though i dont really need an ECU, and if i do go down the aftermarket path in the future, i now want something that can hold different MAPs with the click of a button... so not really looking for a PFc now.

Oh...and the best place for part numbers is www.meggala.com.au he does a good job of collecting tidbits of info for us Nissan owners, other then that im not really able to help you

      High temp brake fluid?

      By PranK · Posted

      The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.

      I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years.

      Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?

      By PranK · Posted

      In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR.
