[Turbz_13]

im trying to get mine thro the group buys on here...they are so far $300 cheaper on here and they still offer a 12 months warranty which is good!!

[DriftR_33]

yeah i got mine for 960 delivered, stright from japan in a jap beer carton that was inside out!!

also with warranty!

[Sambo33]

^^^ same here, except i got in while they were 940 delivered

its a good deal, it arrived in like 3 days after the group-buy was finalised.

Hey james, it's karl here. It's damn easy to change over just discharge your battery and unplug the old ecu. It's a big retangular connection. Unscrew the screw that holds the standard ecu in it's cubby, and slide it out. Slide the new one in and hey presto. Also you'll oviously be getting the r32 gtr powerfc and they come with a map already on them for the specific model of car.

ill b paying for mine next week as soon as my cheque clears!!!! muhahaha...on the way to sum nice power, i hope!!

[DriftR_33]

yeah, mine still isnt tuned, cant wait for that nice power!

blody tuners shut for chrismas still

Use 4 big cable ties to attach the PFC...

Be sure the plug is straight as you tighten up the bolt.

[driftn180sx]

They do come with a map already on them so you can just plug it in and drive. But the map is for jap fuel and in alot of cases people do the same thing and plug it in straight away and your car will run stupidly rich and can cause your plugs to foul straight away.

the best thing to do is get a tuner to do it straight away.

keep in mind a decent fc tune will set you back between 400-500 bucks.

[Turbz_13]

yeah, wont b fitting it straight away...gotta go thro a exempt from compliance soonish.

[Cubes]

I found the map to be pretty spot on, I still haven't touched the light and moderate load area's.

Was a little rich at wot early in the rpm but nothing major.

This sounds like an Ultratune ad.

[DriftR_33]

umm.. on the hand controller, you should watch the knock readings!!

low octane fuel, excessive boost [untuned] and f**king hot days will make your car knock severe!!

if you can actually hear it thats bad, dont drive it! lower your boost!

[Turbz_13]

i reckon its 1 of the turbos bearing that have slipped!

[Turbz_13]

i got my power fc the other day, not gonna fit it until i get my rebuild. anyways i see there is a plug for a boost controller.

i was wondering where i can get one.
