Hi Guys,

I had a search, but couldn't find this specific topic and if this is in the wrong sub-forum, mods please feel free to move it at your discretion thanks. :)

As there are many Power FC models - I'm trying to get a breakdown of the way Apexi released their serial numbers.

So far I have found:

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)

Obviously PFC = Power FC

RB26, GTR33, GTR33L, GTR33D = Car/Engine fitting type

But what are the 3 and 4 digits after that? If anyone knows this information and what each bank/number signifies exactly or can shed better light on the topic would be much appreciated.

Why do you want to know but?

Is this stuff in the PowerFC FAQ? I'm not to sure what your trying to achieve here.....

Hi thanks for the reply - I had a look at the FAQ but couldn't find it in there (also went through every post on here and google with the search terms power fc - so you can imagine how many hours it took for me to trawl through them all lol).

Basically I want to transfer my maps from my power FC to another unit - but when I spoke to a tuning shop here in Melb, they said the models have to be somewhat compatible - otherwise there could be issues and/or another semi-tune would need to be performed to iron out the kinks (obviously they can supply a new unit and do a full tune, but I want to try and keep the costs down). So I'm trying to find out the closest match possible to my current unit (if it is a straight map swap, I shouldn't even need a tune).

Guess it doesn't matter too much to most people seeing as they will be just upgrading from the stock-ECU, and as long as they have the right PowerFC for their engine, they will be fine. Maybe it's useless information and I'm just being pedantic *shruG* but I think it would be good for anyone buying second hand units as obviously the different revisions (and batch cycles) most likely have slightly upgraded software etc and it also helps with finding the right commander to match...

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
