I did a search beforehand, just want your guys opinions.

In time with my rebuild am i right in assuming it would be more beneficial for me to go to the Apexi pfc over the microtech lt8 i have, as it will give me better fuel economy (with use of an afm), engine safety (knock sensor etc) and better tuning? Engine is a rb20det. Currently i have shocking fuel economy, which i want to address.

PFC will work with ALL of the stock sensors, that's the whole idea of it. You can definitely change AFMs though (along with just about anything else), the PFC does have some of the more common options pre-programmed in.

Microtech LT8 is, from what I've heard, fine for making power, but lacks a little in the cold-start, low rpm, idle control etc area. It doesn't bother with these kinds of niceties, that's how they keep costs down. Well, that's what I've heard anyway. Maybe someone who has some experience with Microtechs can shed some light.

It might be worth getting someone to retune the Microtech before you fork out $1300+ for a PFC - it's possible you just have bad part-throttle tuning. Have you already modified the loom?

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.

      Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.
