Nice! I fixed my PFC issue too :( Was a blown fuse. Cant wait to get mine tuned at hittman and see what I get :)

Can I ask what mods you currently have to get what you got? PM me if you dont want to say publicly and Was it a power tune or a complete?

No worries mate my mods are:

1995 RB25DET

Standard Turbo

R34 GTT Intercooler

Adj Exhaust Cam gear (set at 3 1/2 deg ret)

CES 3" split dump pipe

Magic cat

Custom 3" into 2 x 2 1/2" exhaust (very similar to Apexi N1 Dual muffler)

GTR Fuel pump

Apexi Power Intake Pod filter (with custom cold air partition)

NGK Iridium spark plugs

hi ryno

i would be interested in talking more about your tune. max power is only one aspect of an ecu tune. theres lots more to be gained in the midrange and the important parts of a tune

Hey Paul,

I am rather fussy with my car, so I researched tuners for a while before I decided to go to Hitman, and I must say he didn't disappoint.

He spent about the same time tuning the cars economy, as he did max power. In fact the max power was never much of a drama, as the first run (with the standard Power FC maps) made 183 kw. I'm very happy with the tune, the car is now smoother than it has ever been, has more power, and uses less fuel. Perfect!

holly s##t my car is doing the exact same thing so you say it was a earth will it be the sams if i run all new earths. sorry to hijack your topic.

Hey mate,

It sounds like a few people have been having this problem - here are the places to start looking:

1. Check all fuses - twice!

2. Wire in a direct 12v from the battery to the battery input on the ECU (pin 58)

3. Check earth wires (pins 60 and 50)

4. If it's still not working start checking all the other wires, for a break or something connected where it shouldn't be.

Hope that helps

i found the problem it was one of the relays that is up by the computer plug was missing. thats strange that it would run on the std comp but not the power fc. its running beta than ever even with std tune.

That's good to hear mate,

It's amazing how tolerant the standard computer is to blown fuses, broken wires and missing relays! But it can make plugging in the Power FC a nightmare. I'm just glad it's all up and running now, if I never have to solder a wire in my car again, I'll be a happy man.

Good to here I have a r32 with a rb25 in it as well but with the stock comp in it still, fingers crossed I hope the power fc works in it.

buy the way where is (Hitman) located also that power in a r32 should just do a 12 sec ET.

Hitman is located in Penrith, he has a web site (www.hitman.hm) though it appears to be down at the moment. His contact number is: 0417259391

I have done a rb25 swap the Hicas needs a speed signal. my car does not have the speed limiter it's bean tested a few times LOL and my Hicas light turns on and off when it fells like will the Hicas still work or should I put a lock bar on it I don’t want the speed limiter.

I had the same trouble with my car... I decided to remove the HICAS and install a lock bar. By doing so you pull about 20 kg of weight off the car, and then I fitted a R33 power steering pump.

You can disable the HICAS (so you don't get that light coming on) by disconnecting the smaller of the two plugs that go into the HICAS control unit - which is in the boot, beside the rear speaker amplifier.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
