sorry if it sounds like a stupid q, but can't you get that sort of power out of your gtr without an ecu upgrade? or do you want it for other reasons, ie saftey of motor?

na not a stupid questions at all i rekon its very possible to get that power with a stock ecu but id like to know if its worth the money to upgrade the ecu for the reason you said safety plus,idle,driveability etc

Just wondering what you guys are using or would recommend..

The car is going to be used for street use only with the idea to run 200-250kw @ the wheels..

Personally ive heard the Power Fc is the way to go?

Any comments would be appericiated.

Power FC is the way to go. Trust me when you have "200-250kw" for a while, you will want more....then a little bit more...then just squeeze some low mounts in there......and so on, and so on.

Stock ecu may cope. Power FC all the way. Do it once, do it right.

If your only going for that much power just get the standard chip remapped.

thats where it get tricky caus a chips is say $800-900..

aiming for 240kw@wheels..

but say i plan to keep the car for a while longer and I have the cash for a turbo up grade later on il most liklely need a computer uprgade? Correct

I think you are getting my drift now, i have had the car for about a year and a half and ive just cleaned it up to my liking..

Id rather do it once as you say because you just end up spending twice too many times...

I got a R32 GTR with just under 250kw's at the wheels, currently running a tuned Power FC. Extremely happy with it, made a big improvement. Best thing is, that basically anymore performance upgrades I do, is totally within the power FC's limits :(

What other mods have you done to your car?

Totally agree about the potential of the power fc thats why i wouldnt rush out and get just a chip..

The only prob i believe is the pfc is not plug in and its pretty expensive to tune..

Power FC is definitely Plug in!

Other mods are..

HKS front pipes

Trust cat back exhaust

'Steel Wheel' stock turbo's

Apexi pod filters

HKS cam gears

11.5psi made 220 rwkw's and 14psi made 248rwkw's.

And I disagree with the power Fc being expensive to tune. BUT it does all depend on who you take it too AND what mods you have.

Once again thanks heaps for the info!

I have been quoted around $600-700 to get the Power Fc and tuned?

Do you thinks that is around the mark..

Yeah, I can't believe PFC with tune =$600-700 too, that's more likely is the price for the remap chip + tune. PFC is good, but Motec is much better.

sorry guys my mistake around $400 to get it tuned and around hopefully around $1200-1400 for the pfc...

Know anyone thats sells them cheaper???

Nengun / Greenline will be the cheapest you will find (new).  

If that is too much then try and source yourself a second hand FC, but even then, they wont be all that much cheaper.

i have got a quote of brent@ nengun $850 my only concen ordering direct out of japan is warranty side of things?? Has anyone ordered out direct out of japan??

Any one have a web page for Greenline is he in Aus?

$850 would be without the hand controller. Warranty shouldn't be an issue. If you have a problem just send it back and he should sort it out. He is pretty good like that....

Greenline is in Japan also. www.greenline.jp

Im waiting on a price from a mates workshop if its too expensive il most likely go throught brent..

Do you think i should buy it with a hand controller, ive managed to finda few places in melb that have a hand controller to tune it?

Why spend the money now??? What mods does your car have? to give you an example, my car made 230rwkw on 10psi. Stock ECU, AFM's, pump, injectors, turbos, I/C. Aftermarket pods, front pipes, 3inch exhaust.

If I were you I would stick with the stock ECU UNTIL you are ready to upgrade the parts that require a different ECU (being injectors, AFM's, Turbos). That is what I am doing. I'll be getting the PFC once I upgrade a few parts.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
