I have been told that Apexi PFC doesn't work with auto Skyline.

But than again I read in another tread that this guy had it in his auto Skyline as well and was working fine.

How did you get the Apexi PFC to communicate with the auto ecu?

If it does work, does that also mean the HKS F-con should work to than?? VERY INTERESTING.

I purchased my PFC off of the NZ skyline forum (prior to this forum starting up i think)

I just plugged it in and it worked straight away. (I had it tuned a few months later)

I have heard others say that the PFC will not work on autos but mine has given no problem. Someone did suggest that this could be because it is a series I R33.

craz0, I spoke to the guy that installed the Wolf3D in the auto R33 GTS-t Skyline. He said it was very simple. He simply used the plug'n'play Wolf for the Skyline, then made sure that the TPS and tacho signal's were still routed to the auto ECU and it all works great.

Hope that helps.

If they can do that with the Wolf3D, why can't they do the same with the Apexi and the HKS.

Thanks too Gtst, at least now I know there is anothe ECU out there that can take the auto ecu as well.

Now sorry to whore your tread craz0, but with the extra power etc. Will you also need something to make the auto last? Like a bigger transmission cooler or strenghen the auto?

If the standard trans isnt strong enough I believe a Nissan Patrol box can be installed with very few mods. The benifit I believe is a thicker input shaft and splines. A good place for information about this is SA Race Transmissions and Differentials at Modbury North (SA).

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
