engine light flashes when the injecters are close to max, AFM is maxed or its detecting alot of knocking.

your probably maxing everything if they are stock injectors and AFM, and the knocking noise would be detonation.

not good, Re-tune!

14psi on a stock turbo? Hope not... likely to kill it.

If you have a PFC, my bet is its knocking. You cant max AFM/Injectors on a stock turbo (assuming you are using stock)

In which case every time you do it, your destroying your motor.

Take it to your tuner, and get it looked at.

I maxed my stock AFM with stock turbo, about 18 months ago when I had the stock turbo I had it tuned and it maxed at around 6,000rpm, 12.8 psi 188 RWKW.

maybe because i live in tassie and it was probably not much above 10 degrees lol

either way, the light flashes for those 3 things, injectors, air flow metre or dectecting detonation.

none are good, i'd get it tuned again

also, you say fuel reg? i'd probably shit can that and fit a stock or nismo FPR.

you might want to look at a new fuel pump too, maybe thats getting lazy. plus if it hasnt been replaced its been buzzing away for over 10 years, time for a newbie

Get a hand controller for ya PFC if u dont already have one. Then have a look at your knock levels (OVER 60 and your engine will hate u) then have a look at your injector duty cycle (should never go past 90% for safety) mine was at 86% on 1 bar stock turbo and mad 285 RWHP. Ask your tuner to give u a quick heads up on stuff to look at. Hope that helps.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A 'SAFE PING' LOL

Just to confirm things, the recommanded max boost for a factory RB25DET turbo with the ceramic turbine wheel is about 12 psi. For everyday driving, I'd be running it on 10 psi as your 'Hi boost'. Anything over 12psi and you run the risk of breaking your turbine off and embedding it in your cat convertor. Not a pretty sight at all.

In regards to the engine light.... With the POWER FC, it uses the warning light on your dash to indicate a number of things.... maxin out your injectors, engine knock etc.... if you had a FC Commander controller, you could in fact program it to show a number of these 'warnings' in real time.

<---- GO HERE, TAKE YOUR TIME AND READ THE BLOODY THING.... It'll explain to you a lot what that stupid Japanese booklet that the PowerFC came with doesnt explain...it probably does, not that any of us could understand it lol unless you're a Jap of course.

Thanks guys, my tuner is CRD in silverwater syd.. im new to this turbo life as i only just got my full lincense to drive it.. my LO setting on my ebc is 12psi and HI is 14, on the LO setting it does not have this problem as far as im aware of. As it costs some decent coin to tune is it ok to drive on LO (12psi) until i have enough to get a re-tune..? I have also noticed today that on 14psi my boost gauge went all the way to about 18-20psi... i backed off emidiatly.. ??????? (Any reputable tuners in syd would be great..) Thanks

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
