Hi as the proud new owner of a series 2 R33 I am seeking to buy (not straight away) a Power FC and FMIC can anyone help me in terms of good places to get these from for a not too steep price and where they know what they are doing. How much am I looking at all up? Cheers!

Hey fella, I get my car tuned at Graham West on Marion Rd, They sell PowerFC and have a sht load of data for them, really down to earth guys, not too sure how much but check them out!!

Darren :uh-huh:

I normally use nengun.com & greenline.jp as a good price reference. Also, check out the 'group buys' section they regularly have cheap FMIC & Power FC's.

Not sure where you live, but some reputable workshops/ mechanics which many on here go to are - Tilbrook, Boost Worx & Morpowa (that's where I take my car).

In terms of mechanical services & dyno tune prices your looking at:

5,000kms service $120-$220

General dyno tune $140-$250

Initial Power FC dyno tune $400-$600

Have fun with the line.

like pkblade stated there are many places where you can get pfc and fmic's from. Its best to look around and find out general prices b/c bargains comes up all the time especially in the for sale section and group buys. btw if you want some maintence done to car at a relatively cheap price refer to this thread here. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=74556

you'll find PowerFCs with hand controller delivered for around $1,000 through traders on nissansilvia.com, and Ebay is your best bet for a Hybrid FMIC if you want a cheaper option cooler (I have one of these and they are great) - I think kits with piping are going for around the $900 mark atm.

Yeah I got my POWER FC and Hand Controller via BUSKY from the nissan silvia forums..

It was delivered in under 2 weeks.. and passed customs no probs.. coz the guy wrote.. USED.. R34 POWER FC..lol.. so didn't pay any import customs tax.. but yeah .. ppl in adelaide were quoting $1600+ and I was fark..no.. for $1650 I got POWER FC and AVCR. So yeah shop around in forums.. as for FMIC.. I got my blitz coming from nengun.com. Apparently the HKS aluminium was on sale a few weeks ago.. only $1500 or so.. compared to $2000+ others ask for locally.. correct me if I'm wrong on some of these prices but.. yeah.. I reckon they are pretty accurate.

But for instant cheap power do a search on the forums..concerning changing the solenoid in the R33 to make it 10psi.

If only I could do it on the R34... :whatsthat

Have fun boosting mate..

Iceduck out

:Pimp2:

    • The trouble with phone apps is that they really do not know the sensitivity of the mic on each specific phone, whether there is some sort of cover or skin that can change that, etc etc. So the readings off them are not calibrated. You certainly couldn't be sure that you were even within 3 dB. I have the same app on two (actually more than that) different phones/tablets and the readings in the same room at the same time are never the same. I don't mind the apps - they are as useful as a dyno - if you're testing for delta from thing1 to thing2. But not to try to generate some sort of absolute value.
    • I'm gonna use the "Sound Meter" app from the Google Play Store and as close as I can bother to these procedures: 4. TEST METHOD FOR ALL VEHICLES EXCEPT PRE ADR83 IN-SERVICE GOODS VEHICLES AND OMNIBUSES 4.1 Microphone position 4.1.1 The microphone shall be directed towards the orifice of the exhaust outlet and shall be supported by a tripod or similar device not providing excessive acoustic reflection. The general requirements for positioning microphones are shown in the Appendix. 4.1.2 The nominal axis of maximum sensitivity of the microphone shall be substantially parallel to the test site surface and shall make an angle of 45 degrees ±10 degrees with the principal direction of gas flow from the exhaust. 4.1.3 In selecting the 45 degree alignment from the outlet of a motor vehicle fitted with two or more outlets, only the angle resulting in the microphone being farthest from any other outlet must be used. National Stationary Exhaust Noise Test Procedures for In-Service Motor Vehicles Page 3 4.1.4 The height of the microphone above the test site surface shall be equal to that of the orifice of the exhaust outlet ±25mm but shall not be less than 200mm above the test site surface. 4.1.5 The distance of the microphone from the exhaust outlet orifice shall be 500mm±25mm. 4.1.6 [Relates to vertical exhaust outlets] 4.1.7 For vehicles fitted with one exhaust outlet the microphone shall be placed so that the greatest possible distance is achieved between it and the vehicle. 4.1.8 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] 4.1.9 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] TLDR: 200mm off ground 45 degree angle relative to exhaust flow 500mm from tailpipe exit. (I probably won't use a tripod) Here's a photo, cause I read the instructions wrong myself.
    • No ABS, no TCS, no airbags, no cruise control, no lane departure assist, no emergency brake assist, no orange lights in the mirrors (continuously annoying me in multi-lane traffic), no stupid rear view camera. I am the one responsible for where my car goes and how it does it.
    • Cheapest Jaycar one is only $65.
    • Probably best way would be using a proper dB / SPL meter lol Buy one and ship it from state to state to have a consistent test device lololol
