Bro,

My PowerFC in my 34 GTR doesnt make any noise but i notice my hand controller makes alot of noise.

Just holding it up and shaking it around will give you sounds like its not put together well and like something is loose on the inside.

If im not mistaken, my PowerFC unit fits snugly..

I took apart the hand commander by the 2 screws behind and it just looks like the board is somewhat loose so i used some blu-tack and i wedged a few pieces around to make everything tight and compact and closed it back up and now its really silent.

Hope it helps!

maybe a ticking relay? try watching ETC,SENSOR SW / CHECK when you notice the problem, do you see anything going on and off rapidly (block dot flashing)

ok ill give that a go when i go drive in a min...

if it is that what can i do about it?

ok took the car for a drive and did the things u suggested paul.....

know went to 8 at the most and the sensor check didnt seem to do anything strange had some come on and off as i pushed the pedal but nothing flashing rapidly.....

anyone else got any ideas....

Im going to check to see that it is mounted really well shortly does anything in the unit cause it to vibrate if not mouted tight?

Its a fast vibration sound and only happens when accelerating hard.

Maybe it only sounds like it's coming from the passenger footwell?

Checked your exhaust manifold lately? Still got all the studs holding it on?

You didnt fit a Apexi boost control kit as well did u? I had mine in just last week n the solenoid valve makes a rattle when it comes on boost, alot louder than i expected. Apparently the Apexi valve is one of the loudest ones around so i was told.

this will be your problem, i have an avcr and it makes the same noise, farken annoying sounds similar to detonation, which freaks me out sometimes.

Some are louder than others, a good friend has one that's almost twice as loud as mine, next time your car is on the dyno try and get close to the boost controller solenoid, you will here that little tapping noise. ;)

Yup rattles quick just as it comes on boost, its annoying so u may have to just put up with it. When i first had mine in, i thought it was my turbo wheel hitting the housing, took out the intake pipe, checked the shaft for play n was all good. Took me awhile but i soon realised that it was just the BC valve.

Perhaps a good pair subs will help drown the noise out......

Im trying to overcome the drone from my Blitz catback, now that's loud, even hurts my ears if im in the car for awhile...

yeah i got the boost control kit as well..... maybe it is when it comes on boost....

ill try unplugging it and putting it back in agian see how that goes

G Force is the rattle really quick and rappid.....?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
