Your location is different and may offer more options, but we prefer the Power FC on the more reasonable cars as it is an easy to operate and modify system. Not as many folks are able to tune a Link around here. Power FC with a Datalogit is easy to navigate. But you are missing some features that seem to be more popular these days...like the 2 step is annoyingly popular. But I can't recall ever having a hardware issue with a Power FC, so I would say they're usually reliable. I've bought many second hand off this site with great success.
That being said, if it is a D Jetro, I'd say stick with it, but If it's L Jetro and retains the Maf sensors, then ditch it and upgrade. Nissan Maf sensors are time bombs.
Biggest benefit of more modern ecu***8217;s is speed of feedback and ability to run engine protection strategies. Soon pay for themselves if they save destroying an engine.
As the car is at RB and they had the link on the shelf, it made sense instead of waiting for a second hand/new apexi ecu which was my other option. Haltech never came to mind, what ecu have you got?
I too have a Power FC but if anything goes wrong with mine I'd probably replace it with an Elite 2500 because of all its capabilities and future upgrade potential.
Not very good at reading the cas, poor filtering for scatter makes it important to change the trigger method, necessitates the need for a trigger kit. AEM disc is hit and miss.
Most OZ tuners recommend a trigger kit or at least a brand new Nissan OEM CAS. I'm told Haltech's are not able read ignition timing too well after 7000rpm without a Trigger kit or new CAS.
I***8217;ve used haltech with out the need to change the CAS. However Link need some kind of upgrade to an AEM disc or trigger kit.
There is no question the trigger kit is the way for accurate measure and ideal to have, but some people might be out of budget or on something like a 500bhp tune might not want it.

Currently I***8217;m running an Elite 2500 with a Hitachi R32 GTR CAS. No issues - the filtering on the Haltech works well. That***8217;s not to say there isn***8217;t any scatter as there is bound to be because of belt flex and key way movement. What I***8217;m saying is Haltech doesn***8217;t crap itself in the way a link would which is why they need an AEM disc at minimum and even then some people have had issues.
I moved from a factory ECU - to a PFC then to a G4 with my R34 GT-t.
The difference between the Link and the PFC was night and day and now I wouldn't go with anything else - hence went straight to a G4+ with my 34R.
All comes down to getting it tuned by someone competent though
I also got the link G4 from rod at rb motorsport around 3 years ago now, very happy with it and rod and the lads are extremely knowledgeable, wouldn't take my car anywhere else:bowdown1:
