Had my PowerFC stolen recently. 95% I know who did it, I'm just wondering if there'll be a serial number on my box that I can match to that on the unit itself, and where I'll find that number if it exists? Apologies if this is the wrong section of the forum, it would increase my forced induction performance if I can retrieve it though? :D

Yes, I'm talking about the original cardboard box, unluckily it's at my parent's place in Albany, but there is a 7 character number above the barcode (similar to 414-N011). Not sure if there's a warranty card, it was imported through Greenline... There's also a FCC3 XXX-XXXXX number. Unfortunately my poor mother is a little confused by all the Japanese on the things I left inside the box [probably including the warranty card, got a photo of yours with the important stuff blanked out of course?], might need to drive down to Albany :|

If it helps, it is for a R33 GTR.

how does someone steal a power fc, im presuming it wasnt installed in yoru car

It was :/. They broke in and removed it! Wouldn't be surprised if it was another Skyline driver, how else would they know it was actually worth money... Luckily I had a spare ECU sitting around or I wouldn't even be able to start my own car.

On the plus side, I have a lead on the theif, just not sure how to get it back off them.

physical persuasion?

just go and take it?

Only got their mobile number though. Have an idea about where they live too, but not well enough to break into a house and rumage around for my stuff...

But back to my original question, is the only place I'll find my serial number on the warranty card?

I thnk there is a serial number on the yellow card? Not on the actual box tho

Ok that's good, my mother assured me that there was a yellow card inside the box. Getting it sent up on Monday and I'll see what the police (or my fists? :whistling:) can do.

The 7 character number (414-N011) will be the Hand Controller Model No

Normally there will be a spare silver sticker in the box when you buy it with the Power FC Serial, which from memory will be along the lines of:

PFC RB26 XXX-XXX (Older Power FC's)

PFC GTR33 XXX-XXXX (Standard Type - Less Recent)

PFC GTR33L XXX-XXXX (For L-Jetro normal version Power FC)

PFC GTR33D XXX-XXXX (For D-Jetro Type)

Hope this helps, good luck

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
