"Rich and Retard" is simply the higher air flow/load cells having no ignition timing in them, and the fuel cells at this load are rich.

That is why it cuts, no timing in those load cells.

If you could remap the ecu to put some extra ignition timing in those load cells, you wouldn't have a rich and retard situation.

The TI monitor is more then likely a signal for a trip computer to calculate show current fuel usage.

Also the lack of the throttle switch input, will not matter as the RB25 PowerFC uses the throttle position sensor, not switch. (So it won't matter that its not there.)

From what you have found Cubes, all you have to do is reverse pins 112 & 114 and cut 57 to be safe. (I doubt this pin is connected in the PowerFC though?)

Interesting, well as soon as I find out if my pfc is fried or not I'll throw an rb25 pfc in to it.

Seems almost too easy.

kwazza11, Can I ask you if you did the install your self or had some one else do it. I know you did said 'you' switched the two inj. outputs on the loom. Just to double check it was indeed you who did the work as then I know your not leaving something out. :whistling:

I had a look at Bl4ck32's PFC this morning, it too has the little cut disabling ecu pin 57.

So it appears AP Engineering do indeed use one of the rb25 revisions (possibly an early one as the ap engineering pfc uses the early hand controllers) swap the two injector outputs and disable the pin 57.

Cubes, yep i installed it myself and all i did was swap the two injector wires around, the throttle switch is only used for kick-down on autos and the exhaust temp signal (57) i assume is used for the exhaust temp light to indicate a blocked cat, thats been disconnected. everything else has been explained, Ti monitor for trip computer, boost control etc.

was a massively simple exercise, plugged it in, drove it to the tuner's workshop, got it tuned, drive away! :)

the throttle switch is only used for kick-down on autos

Actually I think pin 54 is a throttle closed switch which the RB20 ECU uses to go into idle mode. The throttle sensor box thingy also contains a WOT (probably closer to 75%) switch that from what I can remember is connected to the auto trans and not used by the ecu.

However if the RB25 ecu doesn't need that exact throttle closed signal to determine when it should be idling, then I can't see a problem leaving it disconnected.

The mosfets were fine however the capacitors and resistors had been fried, I did pick some of the tinny little resistors that can hardly been seen were replaced.

All capacitors were replaced as well as resistors. He said I was 'very' lucky. :nyaanyaa:

A few pics of before and after.

Anybody know what the external memory expansion socket/pins are for?

the newer powefcs have a white connector on the board for rom flash upgrades. no idea what the memory expansion is for.

i would expect djetro and pro versions have simply different firmware as they are just code logic changes, wouldnt think it would need more memory or extra chips? seems logical anyway

tops that you got it fixed, is the tune still present ?

damn lucky and cheap to fix might i add, good stuff

Reverse polarity...

How would this affect what you are stating above..

I must admit when I asked how were the mosfets he did say 'suprisingly fine'.

I dont think reverse polarity would be the issue, im not really familiar with the story of yours failing.

Vibration or excessive PCB flexing tend to be a big cause of failures in things like car amps.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
