Cubes had luck been out to lunch would plan B have been an R33 PFC ?

I still don't have one or the Skyline to plug into it so maybe an R33 PFC would be the go . Actually since it will start out as a std GTST and end up with an RB26 head (not the RB20) would the R33 PFC work out cheaper ? The head obviously is GTR as is the engine harness and injectors/resistor pack and I only want to use one AFM probably Q45 . I'm not sure which set of bits to use and onlly want do it once . Also could someone please tell me if the sub harness that the engine harness plugs into for power supply is same or different between R32GTST and R32 GTR . Its the one that runs from the nearside strut tower and along the bottom of the rad support panel and up to where the boost control valve and I think ignition module is ?

Sorry to be vague but have not been close to an R32 (any) for a while . Would be good if an R33 GTS or GTR PFC saved some dough .

Cheers A .

sydneykid has done this in his r32, connected up the airtemp sensor to an r32 powerfc. although i am notsure if its an r32 ap engineering or an rb26 version.

do ap eng have AIRT under sensor sw ?

the sensor would need to be present for it to work

Yes the R33 PFC was all lined up ready to go should I have been out of luck.

Others have had the r33 pfc running their r32 and by looking at the pin outs I am 100% certian the R33 pfc is the only way to go if you feel comfortable with a couple of little modifications.

If you decide to go the RB26 pfc in order to utilize the air inlet temp sensor I don't believe its as simply as splitting a single afm's voltage output and feed the two in to the pfc; 2v worth of air through a single afm is less air than 2v worth of air through 2 afm's. I would think a rework of the airflow curve would be in order to get it to run nice, basically it won't just run but tuning if you have access to a datalogit won't be a problem.

I had considered the rb26 pfc route but there are couple of differences with regards to fuel pump volt feed and obviously the afm, I didn't want to push my luck. :thumbsup:

Paul.. The R32 PFC's don't have AIT under the sensor screen, its blanked out like yours.

the PFC's internal method working out engine load is two average the two together and perform the calc against a fixed constant and look it up off the ramp. so if you have two afms are 3v or one at 3v its the same

Before i bought my AP PFc i was lookign at buying an R33 GTST Pfc Pro as i wanted some of the additional features...and teh research i did looed as though the R33 Pfc thing would work. But i never tried it because as i was about to buy one i butchered my engine and didnt want to take any more risks.

So 2 years later, im ready to try to wire an air temp sensor into my AP Pfc...but heave heard a few ppl have cooked them trying. Can i ask if thats what you did to scare your PFc? :thumbsup:

If the R33 GTST PFc Pro is a go for a replacement, it still has a few features i would like

the only way i could see the airtemp wire in method working is if you have AIRT under sensor SW and its display a voltage. If the sensor is not present then i dont see how (logic would prevail) it work by connecting it to the right wire on the loom. sydneykid metioned he did it but i suspect he used an rb26 ecu and it would have AIRT under sensor SW

the powerfc is the same for series 1 and series 2 (always has been)

but it does appear to be an older version powerFC

its likely the rb20 ap eng is from some other wierd variant

if someone with RB25DET 2.20, 2.3, 4.35 could open up their FC and take a picture that would confirm where the Ap eng rb20 version is coming from

although it should be noted that you can still buy new ap eng rb20 powerfcs, so i wonder what a recently purchased one comes from, like one in the last 2 years as the 78F3 cpu used (well in the R33 GTST) is no longer available so they had to switch cpu types.

kwazza11,

So that is 100% all you did? Simply swap the inj. outputs?

I've attached an excel file that depicts the two pinouts, flick between the two tabs to see the highlighted differences. There are a few, one which is of concern is the rb25 lacks the rb20's throttle valve switch (pin 54) and in place of the rb20's throttle valve power (pin 57) it has the exhaust temp sensor signal.

On the RB25's ecu pin 17 Injection pulse TI monitor, I wonder if this is the R33's Rich and retard mechanism, it see's x inj. duty cycle then does its mental power dips from there on wards. It would be interestering if the rb25 pfc has this internally connected, if not then I would suggest it does exactly what I stated.

I'll throw the GTR pin out in there now.

its been posted up here a few times that all you need to do to make an rb25det one work on an rb20det is swap the 2 injector grounds.

ive got the pinouts here and have looked at all 3 , rb20,25,26 and its the easiest to do. from memory the 25standard ecu had a pin for a boost control however i dont see why you would need it anyone running aftermarket ecu

what about the ignition firing? shouldnt you change that also?

the boost pin or pin #25 is used for solenoid power for the boost kit, powerfcs with the 3 pin boost kit plug reuse this wire for switched power to the solenoid (powerfc turns it on/off to control duty).

boost kits with 5 pin plugs runs their own ground and power for the solenoid

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
