Thats only if its the Neo engine,

Non-Neo (R33 S2) alot more work to get the Power FC working

Dezz what engine is going in?? and what loom you using??

Pretty sure she's got a Neo engine...So the 34 GTT pfc is the go?

If so, anyone got the link to this pin54 trick?

and no idea on the loom sorry...

You CAN use the R34 GT-t unit on the s2 R33 engine, but it takes a fair bit of internal modification. I've got it running in my car, so I know - Mark @ Hills Motorsports can do the mods, and has done mine, Duncan's, and about 10 others. I *think* it's around $700-odd for the modifications to be done (assuming you already own a PFC).

Mark told me he can get pretty much any RB-engine PFC running any RB engine, so give him a call... (02) 9899-9962.

As for the secret tweak to pin 54 (or 51?), do a search in this section for "Secret Squirrel Tweak" posted by EGA41T or wolverine

nup,

plug and play

depends on the actual series build of the ecu itself. not the neo engine or non-neo stuff.

my feb 97 S1 ran with an R34 GTT power-fc. plus the secret squirrel trick

i don't think so.....

1st the injectors r in the wrong way for a feb 97(ALL S1 stagea need mods done to work!!) have studied for 6 weeks about this!

Dezz if you need any info pm me.

sir

I can assure you it depends on the ecu model and NOT the neo or non-neo engines

due to differences in ecu models there are differences in loom wiring

series 1 has 3 or 4 different ecu's, some work with the power-fc others need more configuring. mine was pretty much plug and play

yes, certainly other mods are required to get a S1 and a R34 GTT P-fc to work.

S1 stagea came with the S2 R33 rb25det (ALL OF THE S1 Stagea need mods for the R34 Gtt PFC to work!!)

S2 stagea came with the R34 neo rb25det (if the car is a manual, R34 Gtt PFC will work with the pin 51 trick)

But because its going into an R32 your A/c might not work, which is another problem with the PFC working on the S1 stagea (Needs mods to the PFC to make it work), could be the same for the R32?

yes all of the S1 stagea's come with the S2 R33 RB25, but tangles is correct in saying that in the S1 there were 3 different ecu pinout configurations used, they all are still the same S2 R33 ecu internals with the R34 style plug, but the pinouts vary between the three.

one of the configurations was pritty much the same as the R34/S2 stagea pinout. tangles must be lucky enough to have this one. also according to fast one of the S1 ecu variations was only used for about 3 months of production.

Sounds like I'll have to get the engine number and put it into fast to find out what series this engine is...?

you cant run engine numbers through fast. but if you post up a pic of the engine there are a few sure ways to tell if its a neo engine or not, even if the plastic cover is missing.

Pretty sure its a neo...

Car is an auto by the way...auto will be built (not sure on specs) but definitely not going to be standard....

aircon/heater etc will probably be removed too...

Thats funny because i too have a Feb '97 Stagea (Same as Tangles) and i had to mod my Power FC to make it work.??

must be just my stagea then, i got all my info from the jap stagea service manual.

And the S1 service manual ecu pinout shows mine (09/96 - 08/97 engine harness no. 24011-0V100) same as mine and Tangles, but for some reason he didn't have to mod his Power FC??

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
