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.....?

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
