Hi All

what is the best way to install the Power Fc computer?

I want to put power FC computer in my gtr34 2001what is the best why to put it can I put it alone with out the original car computer or like the Z350 I have to but it with the car computer .

Thanks

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

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

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?

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 .

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

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.

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 .

    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
    • You don't have an R34 service manual for the body do you? Have found plenty for the engine and drivetrain but nothing else
