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 .

    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
    • Did this ever go further ? Would love some updated info
