updated PFC FAQ

first update since july last year

- apexi are now selling ECR33 and ER34 models brand new

- you can buy these from nengun.com including EL hand controller

just wanted to say thanks for this thread/article, some great info.

i've managed to modify my standard ecu bracket to house the pfc, allows me to plug in the hand controller without issue and sits perfectly in the standard spot... anyone handy with the tools should give this a go :)

cant you just take the cover off your factory ecu and screw it onto the power fc?

what is special about your powerfc?

you need to look up the pinouts for the R33 and then wire the signal wire for the tacho onto the guage

because you are using a powerfc it makes no difference, its the same RPM pin out if using the stock ecu as well

FYI Paul those new Power-FC's that Nenguns is selling have a 2+ month wait on them. I went through hell trying to get one through them in a resonable time and ended up cancelling my order and getting one used. They do have decent customer service though.

Paul: Is there anything different with the new Power FC's or are they just re-released with new chips?

Also 'STATUS' was talking about there being some trouble with the tuning software communicating between laptop and ECU, any word on this?

Sorry if its covered in the FAQ, couldnt find it and just wanted to know

Yeah I think I asked some questions as well but it seems to have been forgotten

was going to PM STATUS but doesnt look like he accepts PM's

Just wait and see I guess. I might be getting one so hopefully my laptop will talk to it

My car is in the shop at the moment and the guys are unable to get the ecu to communicate withe PC. Not 100% sure on the issue but will find out more tomorrow.

They are waiting on a reply from fc datalogit but from what I have read I dont think I should hold my breath.

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
