BIOS can be updated by any HKS Power Excel tuner, and they usually do it when you go in for a tune (well that's the way it works in Japan anyways), so feel free to take it to one of em. Croydon Auto Sports is a Power Excel tuner I think (either that or they have the software pirated). Contact Jim there he might be able to help you out (apparently he's the one that works with the Power Fc tuning).

yeah they do have the Jap software, and yeah its an Apexi farken 2 in the morning u want me to keep track of brand names :P

Personally I've never been to CRD, and the closest official Power Excel tuner I know of is in Auckland or something. So unless you're willing to take your car overseas, your options are limited.

BIOS updates only update the OS anyway, most of them would be just finetuning the bugs that may pop up due to conflicts in inputs and overflows due to erroneous sensors. Make sure your car works OK, and the PFC should work well.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      Cheers Lith! You're right, it's entirely possible that there's other reasons for the low compression. It's off to the shop soon, skipping borescoping etc and just getting it out and apart, we'll see what it looks like then.

      Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.

      A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible

      Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.
