You cannot always see a cold solder joint....might as well do it while its open, and seal it back well to avoid moisture getting in

x2 on that.

It may even look good.

but take a magnifier glass to it and you may see a what looks like a crack at solders edge,

again this is a poor joint and needs fixing.

Thread Re-birth 21/4/2013 and still no official fix?

Car R32 GTR 1994 JULY build...

Mine only happens maybe once every 200-500km or 3-6 days Very random and unpredictable. It happens rarely which is why I have not been so keen finding this problem specially when I see so many people having it and not one person finding an official solution.

Guys my aim is to one day fix this issue, whether it be changing to a D-metro or a whole new computer all together. Is there anything which is better then the PFC for the GTR other then the D-metro?

I am slowly changing every nut and bolt in this beast But ofcourse my aim is to get rid of the bugs 1st if possible. Car is not stock , -5s , Cams, AFM, Injectors, Fuel P, Coil pack-SF's, Gearbox etc... All internals are still stock and I am running at a Safe/healthy 330awkw.

I really want to get to the bottom of this now.... Im in sydney is there anyone wanting to chat about this seriously?

it's not d-metro its d-jetro. the stock pfc users airflow meters and it is l-jetro and the map sensor version is d-jetro

its likely the d-jetro has the same issue as its just map sensors instead of airflow meters

D-metro is the most manicured ecu of the PFC line up...

Where does the missfire occur? What plug gap? How old are the O2 sensors?

Not sure where the miss fire occurs? What do you mean Have you looked through this thread its the same weird thing some people have with PFC, its like a microsecond surge of NO POWER. Hiccup..etc...... o2 sensors are not old at all, this is not a daily.. I basically changed all the wear and tear bits at 90k now its 96... dOne the 100km service and I am pretty sure the 02 sensors were changed whilst getting tuned either way I have not anyone talk about old 02 sensors in this thread. How ever my alternator is Very week its on 11.5V whilst driving I wonder if this may be the reason... Then you would think it should keep happening constantly not ev

every 200-600kms right??

neway

I have a RH9 130A Hyper alternator coming in the next couple days.

Has anybody solved the problem??

LOL funny you should say that, Its been weak since I can remember I bought it in 2006 first buyer in AUS Build Date July/1994 68k Speedo. It used to sit on about 12.6-12.8v then slowly dropped .So even then it was weak, I was told it should be between 13-14v while driving. Anyway now it varies between 11-12v Not very good the other day the volts kept going up and down 10.6 -11.5 And then all of a sudden my power steering cut off until I stopped the car waited a bit then drove again. Went back to normal and voltage stayed around 11.5 but this is when I went online and ordered a hyper alternator.

Anyways So the mysterious missfire any one manage to get rid of theirs completely with the PFC?

lol d metro

mine does this random surge, new plugs, new z32's, new injectors, new splitfires, only does it while cruising like most other ppl

Sorry for bringing a old thread up

But i have pfc with ver. 8.04a and also have this mysterious  missfire too. I have seem Apexi sell news version too . It ver.9.00 do still have the bug ?? Someone with it can confirm ?

Last question for who have switched to Ls coil. The problem go aways or still there?

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
