I am semi-interested in one for R33 gts-t..

but like somebody said.. they're only ~$60 cheaper than normal R33 GTS-t s1 price (these are cheaper than other models).

Can somebody explain why i should be buying one right now to save $60 (meh) rather than just ordering at any other time?

Why has he removed the PFC + Handcontroller package for R33 advertised on there for $1060 delivered about 2 days ago??

If the one on their advertised is $997.85 (current exchange rate as @ today) WITH handcontroller (?) and delivery (?).. what are we saving?

AP engineering version? hope this dosent apply to me
i got a R32 GTS-T and if i can get one definately put me down for one at that price.

I'd be down for that too

Don't forget to cross these off the list, or in fact anybody on the list with an R32.. as you DO NEED the AP engineering version if you have an R32 GTS-T .. come on - you guys should know that!

Predator: as I said in answer to the same question earlier, its about $100 cheaper than normal for an R33 GTS-t unit by the time you add shipping and use the correct exchange rate. As you mentioned, its cheaper again for other models.

Yes it includes handcontroller and shipping.

No offence, but its not my job to convince you :P

I didn't add the R32 GTS-t guys to the list if you check the first post.

2GU UP 2: It should be ok if its one of these..?:

IMPREZIA GC8/GF8 A-C 92/11-96/8 EJ20G PFC 414-F001 H/C 415-X001

IMPREZIA GC8/GF8 D-E 96/9-98/8 EJ20G PFC 414-F005 H/C 415-X001

IMPREZIA GC8/GF8 F-G 98/9-00/7 EJ20G PFC 414-F003 H/C 415-X001

babs: added, and I will keep in touch via SMS or phone.

As for increasing the size of the group buy, lets just be happy if we get 20 people to pay and worry about extras later :D I will now contact Brent to let him know we have the numbers and get some details as to where we go now

The previous price was around $1050.. with whatever the exchange rate was (its better now).. WITH shipping included AND handcontroller.. That was advertised for nearly 2 months.. .and then about 2 days ago that price was removed :confused:

13_devil: no problems matey. Suspension is much more important.

[[d a n n y]]: Unless its significantly bigger, I doubt it. There is only so much margin that can be taken off these items.

Anyway, I have emailed Brent. I will let everyone know how it goes.

Lucien.

is it too late to get one now????

ummm

just a quick question if anyone can help me with..

what's the deal with having one of these, if my car only has an exhaust, pod..bov?

like basically what imtrying to ask, is there any use of getting one of these if my car is fairly stock?

I was planning to get one of these in the future when i get more mods..but this deal is too tempting to miss....!!sooo thinking about getting one

hey lwells, all the answers that were directed to ferni, does that apply to an R33 Gts-t s2 as they were referring to the GTR?

umm im on stand-by...still weighing up my options and also checking finances, but when you get the exact cut-off date, ill let you know....have to do some further research first

The same basic theory applies. A PowerFC will basically enable you to make the most of any modifications you make to your car and even on fairly stock cars it allows you much finer tuning possibilities such as achieving ~12:1 air/fuel ratios which will likely net you both fuel and power gains. The more your modify, the more useful the PFC gets, so in that sense its 'future-proof'.

I am not trying to convince you or anyone else to purchase: that's entirely up to you. If you do some searching there should be ample threads to help you makeup your mind :P

Lucien.

yup thanks lucien, i posted a thred up on the forced induction section to get some specific and more detailed advantages....hopefully some experts my give me some advice...

but i am leaning towards getting one..so when u no the cut-off date, let us know

thanks

Hi All,

I am currently in the market for a PowerFC and have noticed a couple of other people are, besides which there always seems to be a demand for these units.

With that in mind, who would be interested in a group buy?

I have spoken to Brent @ Nengun -- who a lot of people have bought parts through over the years -- to get an idea of the discount involved.  Here is what he had to say:

Now obviously there are some considerations:

  • We need 20 people.
  • The exchange rate is a determining factor.
  • The offer is only good for one week.

 

The benefits, however, are:

  • The units are $987.75: I have never seen new PFCs w/ hand controllers for <$1000.  That's almost AVC-R money.
  • The price includes individual delivery
  • The items are duty exempt
  • Any PFC except the AP Engineering units (and D-Jetro/Pro too I imagine)

Edit: Re GST Charges, this is what Brent had to say:

So, if you interested and have (or will have) the funds available, please say so and include your preferred model.  I may as well start the list:

Buyers List: -- 23 and counting :(

  • P1E - Skyline R33 S1 GTS-25t

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
