It's very very very expensive and all in Japanese.

It's available at a few tuning places in the Australia, but not for sale, only for use.

You need to be specially trained by Apex in Japan for them to sell it to you.

Datalogit however, is cheap!

Do a search on Laptop Power FC

..and its probably also coded for each individual workshop.

As the numbers are pretty small they can probably keep track of it.. If one copy was to "leak" then it will fairly easly be tracked by serial number back to the workshop it was licensed too. You can imagine they wouldn't be supported / licensed for too much longer after that.

I dont think its copyable..  You need a dongle or something...  and i dont think any crackers could be really bothered with it.

Like everything there are ways around dongles, which is just a socket you stick in 1 of ur input slots to verify you are the user it is registered to (used these all the time with registered versions of AutoCAD)

the dongle's simple to make, and it has been cracked... that's all I'll say. don't ask me how or where to get it as I won't help you.

Translated: I've been able to get a copy and make the fittings, but don't bother asking me for a copy or how to do the attachment as I won't give it to you..

Call a spade a spade.

hehe interpret it how you want, i'm just tryin to save myself the countless PM's I'll get about it, while trying to be as informative as possible.

Maybe once I finish reading this japanese Power FC tuning manual I might try my hand at some amature tuning. I mean if I can program EEPROM's to control servo motors depending on sensors this shouldn't be that hard :devil:

*sigh* i jus wanted to let you guys know that if you look in the right places its not that hard at all to buy yourself a copy... here's a hint... find out the japanese term for "Power FC Communication Software" then google it, somewhere in there is a post on a japanese BBS by a guy selling it for a touch over a grand (and instructions on how to make the dongle).

I'm not trying to rub anyone's nose in it. If I hadn't posted what I did would you have known that it was cracked or that it was available to purchase through dubious sources?

If that's what I get for tryin to help you guys out then I'll just keep shit to myself next time.

Funky if you get a spare 30 seconds email me the program [email protected] and I will crack it myself ;) My flat mate has just about finished his degree in Mechatronics engineering at uni so Im sure we can organise something

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
