Im heading to regency.

I took out my PowerFC. installed a standard ECU which I picked up from someone here.

I was told you can install the standard ecu and the car will run fine. regardless if you were running a powerFC before.

However the car wont boost. its running very very rough. little pops and all sorts of bullshit.

friend thinks its teh fuel mapping. but wouldnt that be part of this ECU?>

Im guessing ive bought a faulty ECU, or some other little prob that just wants to piss me off even more. :(

well seems I was informed wrong.

car has

HKS afm, blitz FMIC, oil cooler, greddy EBC 14 psi. exhaust and a couple little things.

put the PowerFC back in and it runs fine.

well looks like im going to un-screw the powerFC casing and put the standard casing over it. Im pretty sure regency wouldnt take the casing apart and rip my kick panels out etc.

just unplug the hand controller.

yeah been thru there 2 times before. never been tested for emissions. heard it cost them alot to do for some reason ?

Ill just go there act dumb. say what I have to and suck up.

never been tested for exhaust either. but this car is alittle louder than previous rides.

I heard you can spot weld a silencer of some sort and have it removed after?

your mate hide his controller ? why didnt he just unplug it ? doesnt need the controller plugged in to run does it ?

When you remove the stock ECU, after a period of time without power doesnt it loose its tables? And when you re-install it, you need to let it idle for a period of time, turn rear demistor on, let it idle, turn air con on, let it idle - to give it a base map. Would following this procedure help the stock ECU run a bit better?

be careful if you pull the hand controller out coz it stuffed my mates map's up for a while

and then when u plug it back in it goes all wierd for ages

i would do the best to hide it up under the dash and tape the wire around one of the looms and try to hide it as best as possible.

but make sure that regency cant see it

they wont pull panels out though

thats wat i thought..

but i guess not?? might be safer using the stock ecu case on the pfc! as a few ppl have stated! thats wat im gonna do! and just keep the HC in the glove box! and pull it out on thrash days!

see above..........that's why it won't handle the stock ECU.....different resolution to std AFM!

make sure you remove or hide that EBC before you go.

yeah its all sweet. EBC is out. everythin is fine.

stock ECU casing over powerfc. only way they can tell if its a powerFC is if they rip the kick panel off and pull the casing of the ECU. they will prolly take the kick panels off but surely not unscrew the casing and look.

all I gotta do is find a cheap way to quieten the exhaust.

Im moving house in the next couple weeks too so money in limited.

anyone know a cheap way to quieten the exhaust ?

baffle plate ? spot weld silencer ?

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
