Apexi Pfc Controllers/ Will Different H/c Work On Different Pfc If The Same Corresponding Year?

[madaz R33]

I have looked around some threads for this answer but cannot find, hopefully someone will know,I have bought an Apexi pfc unit but have no hand controller. im not to worried about this but my question is if i have a pfc unit installed and tuned then come across a h/c will they work 2geather? as long as they r the right spec. e.g pfc is for 93 ecr33 and h/c is from some other random place and is for a r33, is there any reason they wont b compatable? the reason i ask this is that if i go to get it tuned and no laptop software avalible can i use my mates h/c as long as its for a 93 onwards r33? at the time of typing this it made sense to me hope it makes sense to others , i am trying to ask a legitamite question

There was two different models of powerfcs for R33. They have different model numbers RB25-... and ECR33-... and use different models of hand controllers.

Thats true, ordered a powerFC, when the garage went to put it in found one already sitting there, didnt even know, so first they tried change the hand controller over to tune and didnt work, so just replaced it with the new pfc and hand controller.

stronzo is spot on. old style PFC which is FC 2.x or 3.x will have RB25 as the model number (on the sticker) on the FC shell case.

newer FCs will have 5.x and will have ECR33 on the sticker model no# on the case.

RB25 needs N001 hand controller (older style, which suits most old nissans)

ECR33 needs X001 hand controller which is universal hand controller (newer model hand controlller, commonly known internal and on the back of the HC as FCC3)

if you have the wrong model it will boot to the apexi logo and freeze up
