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.
