Its really easy,

Pull the kick panel off passenger side, un-screw the brackets from the ecu then un-screw the 10mm bolt in the middle of the blue wiring harness. Plug the Power FC in, it can only go in one way.

Make sure its done up fairly tight, as for boost controll kit it plugs into the side of the FC you'll understand when it arrives.

If you don't have the boost solinoid then you have to go into ETC > FUNCTION SELECT > the top one BOOST CONTROLL KIT > turn it off by pressing arrow.

anyone have troubles fitting the power fc into the old position?

Ive tried for about an hour trying to fit the power fc with handcontroller cable plugged in into the silver bracket (old ecu position), the ****ing thing wont go in

now its just sitting on the passenger floor...

are u mounting it with the hand controller plug that plugs into the socket on the powefc facing up or down, mine is facing up, hope you are mountign it the same way. i couldnt find a way to actually attach it to the bracket, but once you bolt the braket back in the powerfc doesnt move around, you also try cable ties or some tape as cameron said

in my GTR I just took the bottom off the old ecu (it has the two 'tabs' that bolt to the car) and put in on the power FC, then bolted it up where it came from. Kick panel just goes over that. Hand controller is still plugged in too.

    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
    • I was just going to say that it's good to see you picking up the pace again. Hope the surgery goes well. More downtime just means more time to come up with new ways of digging a deeper rabbithole  
    • How do they compare in size? I have the Yaris coil packs in mine and they work fine. But they are either bigger or sit differently so the engine cover doesn't fit anymore. Not the end of the world but not great either. Do the R35 ones sit flush?
