Hey guys, glad to become a new member of skylines australia. I have a S14 with a RB25DET series II motor. I have alot of questions about the Apexi Power FC. My mods pertaining to the Power FC are: 90mm Q45 throttle body, 90mm Ford Lightning MAF, and 740cc Tomei injectors. I saw paulR33's FAQ post and figured the values for the injectors would be as follows: 370cc/740cc = .5 * 100 = 50% and

0.66ms - 0.53ms = 0.13ms. Would these be the correct values for the injectors? Also, would I use 90mm Q45 setting for the MAF or would I need to go under options and select a voltage? I have a Ford Lightning 90mm MAF and I am currently using the setting for the 90mm Q45 MAF. Before I bought the Power FC, I was using a Jim Wolf Technology reflash as my tune. This tune required me to set my timing on the Cam Angle Sensor to 20 degrees BTDC (before top dead center). Do I need to set anything in the Power FC to correspond to this or do I need to change the timing on the CAS? I also have a Apexi SAFC installed along with the Power FC. Do I need to unhook the SAFC, in order for the Power FC to operate properly? I checked pin #58 with a test light and it is ok. I also disabled the optional boost feature on the Power FC. When I try and start the car, it tries to start but stumbles after 2-3 seconds. All I want to be able to do is get the car to crank so it can self learn the idle. After that I am going to Balanced Performance in Sugar Hill, GA to have it tuned. Anyone ever heard of them by the way? The car was running fine with the Jim Wolf Technology reflash tune. When I disconnect the Power Fc and re-install the Jim Wolf ECU it cranks right up. Please guys help me out with this. I know it is probably something simple. I called Apexi and they said that using both the SAFC and Power FC should be ok, but that I would not need the SAFC because the Power FC does everything it does and more. Anyways, I cannot think of anything else to tell you about my problem, so thanks in advance for any advice it is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chad

    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
