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.....?

      I suspect 550s are on the large side for happy operation with a stock/Nistune RB20 ECU. The Hitachi ECU doesn't love short pulse width operation, and the RB20 doesn't need much fuel at idle. Big injectors can be unpleasant. This could be contributing.

      Yeah, I still don't know why the idle speed control can't catch the falling RPMs. In the Consult logs I see the AAC duty cycle rising, but suddenly it goes lean and the engine stalls. Anyways, the relevance here is the DW 550cc injectors are probably the same. So if OP has similar issues I would be tempted to finger those injectors as problematic for whatever reason vs the ECU failing for some reason.

      Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.

      It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
