Hey, i recently purchased an r32 gtst, the car has a power fc to suit its rb20det... as i live in the northern territory i am having an extremly hard time finding a commander unit (hand controller) for the power fc. After spending a whole afternoon on the phone calling japanese wreckers and searching import monster, ebay and through classifieds on the internet i have still had no luck. it seems as though everyone has a different opinion on the fc commander, some say any unit will work and others say that you need specific ones to match the fc. What serial numbers does the commander need to match with my fc? are there other commanders that are compatible? (maybe ca18det/rb25det and rb20det can use the same commander??)

Ive also been told the apexi "Super AFC Neo" is the replacement for the power fc.. is this tru? would i be better off using this rather than my power fc?

Please if you have any information that would help pm me or post in this thread as i am stuck, thanks heaps,

sam

yea after doing more research i found its just a piggy back system, which brings me back to my problem with finding a suitable power fc commander. i still believe that its the best option for me, i dont have a very good understanding of the compatablity between power fc's and its becoming verry frustrating trying to get straight answers and im always hearing conflicting opinions.

hi

you need apexi part no 415-N001 which is old first generation nissan hand controller, this will work on AP Engineering powerFC Rb20det

www.nengun.com have it online for AUD $444. on the back of the hand controller it will be FCC or FCC NT

most people will have FCC 3 which is 415-X001 and it is NOT suitable for AP Engineering FC rb20det, it will freeze at the apexi logo

check here;

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
