I've thrown the pfc in darrens and it does the exact same.

When darren brings down his stock ecu I will find out what else is gone in mine, hopefully nothing but apparently its common for the ignitors to go.

Hmm it doesn't sound too good. But it is possible that it's fixable.

That diode that you found is the main power protection diode that all cars have to have in their ECU. if you reverse power the computer that should take the full brunt of it to prevent damaging everything else. It is possible that it is damaged without it being burnt, & could be stopping the whole thing from running.

Is there anything actually working on it at all? It could be this diode if that's the case.

Also that does look like a blown track on the TPS power feed are you sure it's the power feed though. Is there exposed copper at either end of the break? If so yeah it's been zapped & needs joining back up.

Sorry I forgot to update this thread. >_<

I sent the PFC in to force electronics, they checked it out and replaced various resistors and capacitors.

It now works PERFECTLY!!!! :sick:

RE: Pin 57, that is indeed a cut track as Bl4ck32's AP Engineering PFC also has been cut.

After a little investigation it appears the R32 pfc is based on an early r33 pfc. Pin 57 on the R33 is an exhaust heat sensor, where as on the R32 it has something to do with throttle input, apparently used in the auto's.

So AP have cut the track to be on the safe side it appears. :D

Somewhere like Petroject would have been my first choice. These guys specialise in repairs to engine management systems & are more likely to be able to help you to diagnose the problems with consultation & having electrical information of many vehicles also enables them to figure exactly what circuitry has been damaged etc.

They also have a special test bench which enables them to actually run the ECU & check what's working & what's not etc. They deal with a lot of the trade & the guys there have a lot of experience between them. Most of the time the only reason things can't be fixed is if they don't have spare parts for a special component (eg a main microchip), or the board is too fried, or if it's simply uneconomical to fix.

For the kind of repair you needed done you could get away with going to Force, but if it had become any more complex than that I doubt they could have done it.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
