Hi Guys,

Long time no see (been overseas). Whilst I was overseas, i left my car at Trojan to get some cool bits added to the car and a PowerFC tune from John.

Unfortunately, it turns out that John has been having issues with my PowerFC working and thinks it is faulty. He needs to borrow someone elses PowerFC to confirm that mine is no good or if I have wiring issues that his electrician can sort out. He only needs the PowerFC for 10 minutes max and is happy to have the person drive in and out without doing anything else.

Is anyone with a R33 Series 2 (or 1, i think the PowerFC's are the same) running a PowerFC able to help me out early this week??? (Help John to since I'm taking up car space :D)

Cheers

Sam

It would be greatly appreciated Datto260Z! Would you be able to send me your mobile number or something, I could give John at Trojan a call and ask if he's able to wait around this arvo if you are willing to meet me out there?

John said my symptoms appear to be the screen locking on the hand controller and just not able to run the car in general (something about a relay for the fuel pump clicking on and off a lot)... Being able to see someone elses PowerFC on it will help decide on John getting in his electrician.

Scott, cannot thank you enough for helping me out today. Being able to prove that my ECU was in a working state was just priceless.

About 5 minutes after you left, we got it WORKING!!!!!! We required an extra 10amp fuse that was listed on that piece of paper I had.

Refering to this link (thanks PaulR33) http://paulr33.skylinesaustralia.com/docs/...erfc-faq.htm#68

haha, good stuff, glad to be of service. I am going to see the electrician in Fyshwick that did my injector loom tomorrow to get him to look at that wiring, so thanks for doing that research for me, I think/hope it has saved me, but its somewhere to begin.

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
