No, thats not what you want. You need the engine ecu with commander. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MAZDA-RX7-FD3S-ROTARY-APEXI-POWER-FC-AND-COMMANDER-ECU_W0QQitemZ170137339085QQihZ007QQcategoryZ72205QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting
Cheers Rob - How do i know what bit type i need??
Some say 16bit and some say 8bit - I have a 1992 Type R1 - So what would i need?
Upto 1996 = 8 bit
After 1996 = 16 bit
Just get a power fc that fits a 1992-1995 fd. All power fc\'s are 16 bit. It\'s only the stock mazda ecu which is either 8 or 16 bit. I got mine from here http://www.nengun.com/apexi/power-fc-hand-controller
£322.41 fook That is Cheap mate :-) - people are payin £450 on ebay for second hand ones!
I paid £380 for mine about 8 months ago. They have come down in price since then but there was no waiting list and it took 3 weeks to get here. Still it was the cheapest place on earth at the time

Hi Paul
MRP currently has 2 available and in stock on special price of £599.99 inclusive of VAT and delivery see :-
//www.mazdarotaryparts.com for more details. These are new not second hand.
I paid £420.55 for mine all in. Brand new with full tracking and insurance and delivered to my door. Bought it off US ebay, but it was sent directly from Japan.
Took 3 weeks, but heck saved me a few quid.
Bob
£600?!?!?! I never knew these were so expensive???
I got mine brand new and shipped to my door for £380!??!? :Viking
Fair enough it took me 3-4 weeks to be delivered but still....:eek:

Yeh it looks like it now !..... but at the time I bought mine there were rumours of Apexi going into liquidation and all that and that was the best price I could get at that time.
The point of our posts is to show other readers that the price is ultra variable and that if you do look further than rip off Britain you can get a much better deal.
My car struggled to get passed the Lambda emissions part of the MOT so I thought I better replace the O2 sensor. All vendors I\'ve visited in the UK are charging £114, bought a new Bosch replacement from the US for £70 delivered. There were some cheaper but went for a known brand.
Bob
Oh of course, and I admit my post may have come over a little harsh.....
(I did try to edit :Laugh )
I was just so shocked at how much are being charged for them!
I also bought mine when the Apexi rumours were in full swing as were the ones about getting \'dodgy stock\'....
Definately hunt around fella.....especially with the exchange rate @ 2.02....
I\'d pay up to £400 - and i have seen then cheaper lol but £599 is just so shocking. I know they are now harder to get hold of but 1/3 of the price more?
:-) If Mazdarotaryparts are able to map it aswel in with the price then i\'d do it????????
If you think these are dear I paid £850 from one of our Rotary tuners for my first Apexi PFC before my company was formed, without the commander!.
Also be warned that we have sold Apexis to 2 customers who have lost their monies abroad, one lost money via Japan and the other Australia
God how I hate that expression, all be it slightly true
"look further than rip off Britain you can get a much better deal"
We could all save money if everyone fiddled the tax, like most do by importing as a gift etc, which is half the reason imported goods are cheaper than UK supplied.
Every country has it taxes, you wont work for the same money as a guy in china and will want to sell your car when finished with it at UK prices not what its worth in Japan.
Its a vicious circle my friend, and a converstaion that could go on for ever just like the great oil debates.

Why is it shocking? You\'re not paying tax by getting it from abroad. If customs get hold of your package you can expect the price to shoot up...
You take your risks. also just imagine if your PFC sourced from japan goes wrong.. who\'s it gonna go back to for warranty returns.. yep.. japan. If they even accept it back.

So your saying that trying to beat the system is wrong when we live in a country that tax\'s the f**k out of everything?
Well we\'ve heard the voice of the suppliers, but I\'m afraid I have little sympathy.
For so long the UK customer has put up with second class service and inflated prices then along comes ebay , yes with as many crooks as anywherelse, but the vast majority of suppliers, UK or foreign, are above board and honest. Therefore I go where the deal is cheapest and that currently is US, Hong Kong and quite frankly anywhere but the UK.

So are we saying Gary that if a foreign supplier offered you a batch of genuine cheap RX7 spares and could get them to you minus Tax you would turn it down on moral grounds :Nono!
Bob
Plus i thought if you was to be a UK distributor then you\'d get them alot cheaper then we can in the first place.
If we can get them from £322-£422 then the UK suppliers must be getting then for around the £200 mark. Just my personal opinion lol
Sadly at the moment Robbie it seems like nengun are out of stock :\'(
Anyone else know where they are cheap??

No, not at all.. I bought mine from Japan.
But I\'m not "shocked" at the real price of them either.
