Hi

hoping you guys can help me out...

I was stupid enough to buy a power FC without a hand commander as i thought i could easily buy a new EL type from an Apexi dealer...

http://www.nengun.com/apexi/power-fc-el-hand-controller

but nobody will give me a straight answer as to whether it will work with my Power FC...

its a ECR33 type... PFC ECR33 010-0914 rocking firmware version 5.10..

got it installed and working with FC datalogit..

the websites all say they are universal and work with all power FC's....

however im pretty sure they wont give me a refund if it doesnt !!

would anyone have a working EL hand commander in the Newcastle Area ?

Cheers

Matt

duncan has the new EL hand controller

and it will work on every powerfc expect toyota chaser JZX100 auto

as it has special firmware for all the auto menu's and logic

FCC4 was a complete re-write from apexi to work on the EL display and support all powerfcs including ap eng, pro, and mainstream versions

the only exception as above is the chaser auto version

Are there any other improvements with the new controller other than the EL screen??

covered in the powerfc faq

differences

- EL screen

- FCC 4 is std version

- supports all powerfc units (except chaser auto)

- FUNCTION SELECT screen is in english (FCC/FCC2/FCC3 have jap characters for on/off)

- EL unit has light sensor like RSM, AVCR, SAFC units

there is also magic art covers avaiable on the nengun site to give your hand controller a coloured cover instead of the plain black

the biggest difference for most users is the better screen and no more "freeze at apexi logo" annoyances (unless you have a chaser auto)

That's good to know thanks Paul.

I've got the normal old style hand controller and the damn brightness of it sucks. It only goes proper normal brightness when i apply pressure on the front of the hand controller housing blargh.

Hmmm that sounds pretty good... I might see if I can sell mine for something and get one!

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
