things to consider.

there should be no wire on the loom for pin 51 if there is no traction control on your car. having spoken to EGA4IT and he says he has seen one car (maybe a later model with a wire in the loom). he said the zener diode is not in backward on the diagram they are reverse polarity (i hope i am translating accurately).

regardless of whether you have a wire or not, you are trying to fool the ECU into thinking there is 3.7V so it 'thinks' traction control is working.

if this modification is made you need to test that the voltage TO pin 51 is about 3.7V or else you have made a mistake.

if the checklight is still on make sure that the boost controller is turned off on the powerfc as this is the usual reason the checklight stays on when first installed.

Thanks for that, Ill give that a go...

I just tried to turn the boost control off but of course it is in Japanese so i am assuming it is off at the moment as it has a diferent japanese character to the other warnings which i am assuming the tuner left on..

Thanks again to all for your help

thanks mate, that explains everything

nice and easy, cheers again

thats what my mechanic said that you cant get the exact ohm stated resistors

it doesnt have to be exactly 400 ohm, it could be 500 or even 300 ohms, the idea is to provide a reasonably high resistive path back to negative so that current does not flow through the ecu in the event of some sort of failure/short.

also the zener diode needs to be installed in reverse bias. your auto electrician should know what this means.

awesome news

cant wait to hook mine up and 'see' what happens :D

i have had a few pm's and just thought id add a quick note to prevent confusion/frustration, if u cant find a 10.3V zener diode you can use multiple diodes that add up to 10.3V as long as they are connected in series

Hey Guys,

Having some trouble with my powerFC. My car to clarify is a ER34 (R34GTT) that has had a conversion to manual. the powerFC throws up a backlight on the THR sensor with a voltage of 0.00. The car runs perfectly after an init clear. however I have some problems. MIL light is always on, TCS light is on and cannot be toggled with the TCS switch on the dash. the Aircon turns on but the compressor does not and last but not least HICAS light is also on.

any ideas if my series 1 R34 has the same problem as the Stags?

Cheers.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
