the powerfc is full stand alone and not a chip replacement. you simply remove your old computer and replace with powerfc, no need to swap chip sockets or anything

[shwaier]

Ya I know its a stand alone computer put I her from my friend have a Z350 when you want to install the Power Fc on it you can put it alone put the best way if you put it to the engine and the electronic things on the original computer .

And I think there are different between the R33 and R34 because the R33 you remove the original and put the Power Fc alone .

Thanks paulr33

Power FC is a standalone unit...

[paulr33]

sorry i dont understand exactly? The apexi powefc is complete stand alone. you no longer need to retain the stock ecu in the car, the powerfc runs all the factory sensors and systems correctly. there would be no need to keep the stock ecu installed or piggybacked. apexi do not make the powerfc for the 350z so he/she may have an ap engineer unit (didnt know they existed for 350z) or some other form of piggyback, prehaps apexi safc?

All power FC units are full replacement computers. Just unplug std computer... plug in PFC.

geddit?

HI paulr33,Josh,Ronin 09

MY CAR IS R34 BUT THE COMPUTER ON IT THE R33 COMPUTER (ECU) IF I WILL PUT THE POWER FC FOR THE R34 DID I NEED FOR THE ORGINAL KEY FOR R34 OR THE Regular KEY (NON Magnetic KEY) WILL WORK.

THANKS

10mm t-spanner is the best way to instal a power fc...but i could be wrong

[Josh]

Key? Do you mean ignition key? or am I missing something..?

[rs73]

I think you will need a rubber mallet to shove that PowerFC into your car...

[paulr33]

the bnr34 skyline has built in security in the cars key to prevent theft.

i believe this works fine as its not linked to the ecu itself.

i know of at least one bnr34 skyline that has no issues, again assuming he is using the standard key still. perhaps just try it and see how it goes? let us know and ill to powerfc faq

I have a series II bnr34 and i have a power f/c , just pull the stock ecu out and install the power f/c .

No problem with the immobiliser , it has its own computer that enables the cars main ecu .

I dont want to tell you on here how it works but if you want to know pm and i'll tell you .

[Ronin 09]

I'm still confused as he's talking about an R33 computer?

R33 and R34 PFCs are not interchangable AFAIK

[paulr33]

i think, he thinks we dont realise that bnr34 and bnr33 powerfc is different and i think he thinks we don't know about the security feature built into the key. thats the only logic i can obtain from it? but yes they are different ecu's as you would expect. sounds he was just worried about his key still working which is fair enough, i would be too

[shwaier]

dudes

i Bought the car from used showroom in japan and after i Bought

it i realise that the car computer is a R33 computer and the key is not

the orignal key (withe out security chip) its a normal key now i want to change the computer to Power Fc and i dont know what kind i have to order the one for R33 or for R34 Because my frind Says Maybe when you order thr Power Fc for R34 the security system will work again and i dont have the key withe the chip.

Thanks

Just in case anyone wasn't aware - the "FC" in "Power FC" stands for "Full Computer". It's meant to replace the ECU along with all its functions, in addition to everything else it does. I imagine that's the reason why you can't use the R33 Power FC in an R34, if the R34 has additional security features.

[sewid]

Sounds like your immobiliser is already disabled.

[wrxhoon]

Agree with you Kris , i already told him that in a p.m. He may not even have a 34 engine in that car , but who knows without seen the car .

but the Security Features have a diffrint computer not the same ECU

ok what the different between the 2 engines its all the same Rb26 Deet

the different in the computer and the electronic thing only.

if they baypass the security i think i can but a Power Fc for R34 and i will not need the Security key because i used a regular key now (with out chip) but let say if i need to use a security key from where can i get one and where can i program it .
