it might sound easy to get one of these through nengun, but they still have to source one (which isnt easy), then you have to pay shipping and might get stung for duty. overall the wait might be a long time.

as i said, i ordered this through an importer and it took 6 months to find. these are rarer than all other powerfcs (especially in Aus) so you cant expect to get one for the same price as for other cars. i paid much more than 800 for this so im not willing to sell at that price. how about an offer that reflects the availability of this computer??

yes for rb20. look up www.nengun.com and ask them go to performance parts and see just seen today rb20 brand new power fc 1200 buxs wihout controller

maybe so but thats very different to walking to corner store to pick one up. they have to find it then send it. meanwhile you wait for it to be found, then pay for shipping, then wait for it to arrive.

at this price you are paying for the fact that it is in the country right now ready to go.

i am not disputing this and no it wont be the same price as picking one up here. the face is that urs is a USED power Fc. No matter how long it was on there for the main thing it was used it is not brand new anymore. i am in the market for an fc so dont think i am just abusing ur thread. u tell me what u think is a resonable price for your fc and we will go from there

ok, well this price has not been simply picked out of the air. it reflects the price that i paid for it, and the fact that i waited 6 months for it to arrive. i thought it only logical that given the low supply i could get a few hundy more than what i paid. anywho, i paid $1400 for this unit and im not going to loose money on this. you can have the unit for that price.

Sorry Mate I Cannot See The Sense In Buying A Second Hand Power Fc For 1400 When A New One Is 1200 I Would Have To Be Out Of My Mind. Anyway Good Luck With Ur Sale Hope It Goes Well I Am Still Interested So If Ur Keen To Sell At A More Reasonable Price For A Second Hand Item Please Message Me :burnout: :burnout:

why dont you try and buy one through them and then tell me how easy and quick it is. also by the time the thing arives it will end up costing well more than 1200. when i was originally looking for this an importer quoted me 1800 to my door. being second hand doesnt matter cause there arent many of these in the country, new or used. im not being tight, im just asking for what i paid. your offerring the kind of money that a used 33 unit goes for. i think thats being tight considering the supply of them going around. it costs more cause they are rare and its in the country now.

i bought a power fc with handcontoller from nengun it took 6 days to arrive on my door and has 12 months warranty, all for $1180 incl freight brand new.

I am about to purchase a power fc pro (air flow meter removal) for the rb20 with handcontroller for $1350 from nengun incl freight.

youre price is reasonable when looking at what you paid, but it is not reasonable looking at the current market on these prodcuts, nengun is unbeatable and is a wholesaler direct from Apexi, i can bet my life he wont have any problem sourcing one.

I bought a playstation 2 when they first came out, cost me $600, I sold it 2 weeks later but could only sell it for $550.

Basically when selling something 2nd hand regardless of the age of the product, the buyer will always dictate the price.

By all means try and sell it for what you paid, but I wouldn't think on here is where you'll do it. It's going to like selling snow to the eskimo's.

Personally i'd cut my losses and sell it for around $1200, because they will only get cheaper i'd reckon. Then you'll get even less.......

Your call :D

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
