just in the process of purchasing a power fc, but the guy i am purchasing it off is under the impression that the power fc off his series one r33 will not fit my series two r33. aparently because of a different loom for the coil packs. i have never heard of this, and was always under the impression that the power fc fitted any r33, series 1 or two, but he says that apparently if i fitted it onto my car i would be getting a lot of misfires etc.

so before i fork over a grand, is this true, or false info?

thank you in advance

Any ECR33 PowerFC will suit S1 & S2 RB25.

Only difference with the ignition is the ignitor is built into the coil packs.

The ignitor (on a s1) is situated on the coil pack cover, s2 it is located in each coil pack.

People get confused as you cant use the RB25DET S2 STANDARD ECU in a S1 (AFM is different).

Misfires.... no.... he doesnt know what he's talkin bout. wiring path is exactly the same only instead of the ignitor firing the packs the ignitors in the packs.... fire the packs.

Hope this helps.

    • I am probably calling this too early but I think I found what part of my problem is. I have a couple of dents that are fairly close to each other and I tried to fix them individually. Recently I put one larger coat across all the dents and sanded it and for the first time ever it's all even except for the edge where the bare metal is, I just need to put some putty there. I'm ordering some better longer blocks that are more flexible. Other good news is that the other repairs on my panel are flat even with the guidecoat. It's these 2 dents which are an absolute c*nt l lol.
    • Murray will have better input, but I'd be going with less filler, and aimed at the low spots mainly, and hence won't need as much sanding, which then means get the guide coat on earlier. That's how I'd do it, BUT, I'm not a pro, I'm a DIY hack who will then get the shits halfway through, and have one spot awesomely repaired, and the other spots look like a 3 year old was left unsupervised with workshop tools...
    • Where is the most common place to locate it? Disappointing that Garrett won’t make a fitting for it since they know everyone will use it
    • A HICAS fault really should not cause the engine to go into limp mode. These cars are so old that the systems barely talk to one another. The thump might be the lockoff solenoid valve for the HICAS (the safety valve) getting closed, to lock the rear wheels "straight". I say "straight", because when my HICAS used to shit itself before I took off and nuked it from orbit, it would lock up with the rear wheels wildy non-straight and you'd need 45° of steering wheel to drive straight. Take off and nuke it from orbit. First step is to pull the smaller of the two plugs out of the HICAS CU. See if it stops misbehaving. You can also (whilst leaving it plugged in) try to get the HICAS CU into diagnostic mode by doing the pedal dance, or by connecting a CONSULT capable diagnostic reader into the car and seeing what it has to say for itself. Can't do either of these with it unplugged though. 1st gen HICAS is a ballache. I would do a complete delete. I did do a complete delete.
