Ah so they managed to make the exhaust work? So proud of my boys :D

I heard there can be issues with PFC + Stagea but not sure what exactly, maybe thats why wiring was sent. Anyway I will inform him that you must have it purrrfect for D Day to avoid being shamed by a safety car.

Ciao!

Hahaha, a "Safety Car" like this one, right Duncan?

I'm waiting to see how you go with Duncan's R34 PFC so I can get mine installed too. I hope it turns out to be as easy as deciphering a few small issues with different triggers being on certain pins compared to the R33 PFC.

I've decided I'll show up for this :P. Put it on a dyno in October so I'm interested to see how different it could be. Hopefully I'll still get around the 145rwkWs I got then :P. I'm told its not bad for complete stock, except for my fully sick rims which add 500kWs to the fuel pump :laugh:

how either of you spoken with Ando??? he got his powerfc up and running without any problems at all.

oh and i'm having powerfc problems too, i wouldn't mind some help from the boys at Hills too! I've tried everywhere, no one can help me :laugh:

I think its just a stagea problem Liz there is some wierd wiring in the early ones.

Mark has a couple of good tools to work with PFCs, the offical apexi stuff, datalogit etc and a dyno of course. If he can't sort it out give up :)

There's a few things to overcome with the Stageas, Liz:

  • We're trying to use R34 PFC's on s2 R33 engines, Liz, which is where one of the issues is.
  • The s1 Stagea ECU, even though it *probably and most likely* runs an R33 program, has an R34 plug, which is problem two.
  • There seems to be a few different parameters run on different pins between R33 and R34.
  • The Stageas have AWD, and in that regard they're the only RB25-engined Nissans to use a turbo motor and AWD together (whether it's the R33 or R34 Neo).
  • Even the s2 Stagea, with the R34's Neo motor, needs mods to the PFC wiring to sort out issues with traction control and the engine light staying on.

That list is the stuff that I'm aware of so far, so who knows what else will pop up.

It HAS been done (I think Millenium Motorsport in Qld were amongst the first in Australia, but they were and maybe still are unwilling to share the information), so there's no reason why Duncan and I won't eventually be able to have s1 Stageas with the R34 PFC - it's just a matter of time and having all the correct information together to make it all happen.

Back on topic, I'm still keen for a run on the dyno, even with the standard ECU still in my car.

you can count me in *if i remember that its on* memory is pretty bad these days... im gettin old ya see hahahaha last time i put her on the dyno it made 165.5 @ the wheels not bad for a stocker with only a front mount on her.......

Post-it note on your PC monitor. :thumbsup:

no prizes this year ? whats the point of winning if you get nothing out of it :D

ahhhh well my turbo shat itself, going for a rebuild so it should be ready to make an appearance if i still have enough $$ left over... rebuild gt3540 = $1000 :thumbsup:

I wasn't arguing btw.. i was just interested to know.

I'm going to give them a call.. if they can work out that, I'm sure they can help me

Yeah, I know that! :banana: I just figured I'd let you know what the deal was. I wish it was a lot easier, that's for sure!

I agree, if they can work that out (and here's hoping - fingers crossed) then yours shouldn't be a problem either.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
