I paid $1499 delivered to Perth. But......... as usual when I buy anything some pri*k comes out with a cheaper offer. Check the For Sale forum as Japanese Import Parts have them for $1300 (RB25's 26's and SR20's only) and Nengun posted them for $1240 delivered.

Ask if your tuner already has the Datalogit for your model. If so just get the PFC if you're on a budget.

If not (and you are on the tight budget), get the Datalogit in preference to the H/C.

If you get both, you have the added functionality of real time display as well as faster and more precise tuning. You are getting pretty close to the cost of a "high end" ECU, however.

There are other locally made (and supported) ECUs available for the price of a PFC, however. Consider the Wolf P&P as well.

Both Slidewize & Jap MotorSport prices include Hand Controller. I'd stay well away from Wol* as I have seen quite a few problems with their product support recently.

Hmmm....interesting comment?

I would think quite the opposite, especially with you being in Perth. The most sales of Wolf in the country come out of SST in Perth and I have seen nothing but excellent support from them.

Can't comment on other states, however I know that SST is very helpful with sharing tune maps, so I would think that it not be a big issue regardless of where you live provided you've got access to a dyno and A/F meter.

      Hmm... From my experience you get about 0.25° camber change per mm of RUCA length change. So, to correct from -2.5 up to less than -1° (or, more than -1° if you look at the world as a mathematician does) then you'd be making 6-8mm of length change on the RUCA. From a stock length of 308mm, that's 2-2.5% difference in RUCA length. My RUCAs are currently very close to stock length - certainly only 2-3mm different from stock. I had to adjust my tension arms by 6mm to minimise the bump steer. That's 6mm out of 210, which is 2.8%. That's a 2.8% change on those, compared to a <1% change on the RUCAs. So the stock geometry already has worse bump steer than is possible - you can improve it even if you don't change the RUCA length. If you lengthen the RUCAs at all, then you will definitely be adding bump steer. Again, with my car, I recently had an unpleasant amount of bump steer, stemming from a number of things that happened one after another without me having an opportunity to correct for them. I only had to change the tension arm lengths by 1mm to minimise the resulting bump steer. (Granted, I also had to dial out a lot of extra toe-in in the rear, and excessive rear toe-in will make bump steer behaviour worse). Relatively tiny little adjustments having been made - the car is now completely different. Was horrifying how much it wanted to steer from the rear on any significant single wheel bump/dip. And it was even bad on expansion joints on long sweepers on freeway entry/exits, which are notionally hitting both rear wheels at the same time. My point is, the crappy Nissan multilink is quite sensitive to these things (unlike the very nice Toyota suspension!). And I think 99.75% of Skyline owners are blissfully ignorant of what they are driving around on. Sadly, it is a non-trivial exercise to set up to measure and correct bump steer. I am happy to show my rig, which involves nasty chunks of wood bolted to the hub, mirrors, lasers, graph paper targets and other horrors. Just in case anyone wants to see how it is done. I'll just have to set it up to take the photos.

      What do you have in that bad boy ? Ill go with the 725cc since I'll be going with Nistune ( would definitely like more engine protection but Haltech is too far out of reach at the moment... plus, Ill probably have a pretty safe tune as its a daily, not gonna be chasing peak power 24/7 ahahah ). Are Xspurt a safe choice?  Pete's great. He didnt mention anything about traction arm length so I reckon it may be good. When I get some new wheels/tire later down the road I'll ask him about it and get his opinion on em. I heard from Gary that you've got the bilsteins too, are you running the sway bars too? and what other suspension goodies do you have installed or would recommend?
