I've done lots of reading & sifting through R32 and R33 circuit diagrams etc to ensure everything is all good.

There's nothing to fear; the RB26 PFC in to the R32/R33 GTST works extremely well and is reliable. The only real difference is the slightly different ECU pinout and the ecu's internal airflow curve and maps etc which are changed to make it suitable for the GTST.

Mine has been running for quite some months without any issues; excellent economy etc :bunny:

A number of others have already had an Rb26 PFC fitted to their R33/R32 with excellent results.

To get it running modifications to the loom are required and the use of a datalogit to get the car running well.

The advantage of the RB26DETT PowerFC is its use of an air inlet temp sensor which provides ignition correction. Great for safety on those hot days, track use down at Mallala + you get to run a PFC rather than a microtech or more expensive ecu solution.

Should you wish not to have the additional cost of purchasing and wiring in the air inlet temp sensor it can be bypassed.

Tuning and Loom modifications is to be done at BoostWorx as I don't have the time to do loom mods yet still wish to give you the opportunity for you to get a PFC in to your R32 or R33. :wub:

Approximate PFC Purchase Cost - Purchase the PFC from Nengun or an SAU Sponsor.

- Nengun are by far the cheapest currently at $778 Delivered -> <CLICK>

- SAU Sponsor for ~$900

Approximate Install Costs..... Please call Shaun or Troy at Boostworx - 8299-0621

- OPTIONAL RB26 Knock Sensors

- OPTIONAL Inlet Air Temp Sensor

- OPTIONAL R33 VCT Controller

For those not in SA. Sorry SA only, you have option to speak to your tuner and they can slug you the R&D costs of getting it sorted.

Tangles... I'll have a look at the R34 GTR ECU pinouts as that is most likely your best bet. Your loom ecu plug must match the powerfc.

DC_GTST... Its the whole lot. PowerFC and Handcontroller from nengun for ~$800 delivered. The loom mods are done, the pfc plugs in, datalogit is thrown on it with the required maps, airflow curves, map reference and its all tuned up.

dont go out of your way mate.

I doubt Id have finances available for a full replacement ecu for a fair while yet. meh, thats a bit of a lie... have cash atm but heating for the home is relatively important (got to sort that out, we are freeeeezing here, the sole loungroom gas heater has shafted itself)

now and then a Er34 Pfc comes up for sale on ebay..... plus obviously I worry about the auto box too ! although Id definately use a shift kit with it, maybe eve the boxunit that makes you manually shift the auto ? dunno

mind you a remap to the ecu via drdrift is cheapr then what er34 Powerfc's sell for.

not much, only $150 less....... ($1300 ? for drdrift ecr33 remap vs $1450 for er34 Pfc)

grrr, dunno what to do myself. best to get one final tweek from Shaun at Boostwerx with the safc/sitc (when I get my oil filter relocator from nengun) and make a decision after that.

Hey Cubes,

Where would you recommend buying the PFC from? I think Slide has a few going but havent been able to find the forum (kinda in a rush - lunch break). Got the $$ just require details.

Cheers again

Dan :D

So how much all up for a power fc for an R33 all tuned up by Boostworx? A rough estimate would be good. Cheers.

I haven't done any work on the VCT controller yet as I'm currently working on my own car. The heads off down at Chris Milton Engineering having a bit of work done + I'm bolting on the new turbo thats been sitting here not being used for toooooo long.

So until mines back on the road I won't be working on the VCT controller as my spare time is occupied by my own car. :/

However.. A guestimate, don't hold me to it as its essentially up to Shaun

RB26PFC $800-$910

Inlet Air temp sensor + Fitting - $100

Loom mods - $120

VCT Controller - $ Unsure It is likely to be a jaycar kit so not too expensive.

Tuning - $500 (not sure exactly what shaun charges)

Once mine is back on the road (end of next week fingers crossed) I will head down to Shaun and see what I can work out cost wise for tuning + loom and vct controller.

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
