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

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
