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.....?

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
