A few weeks ago I dusted off the skyline (literally) and decided to drive it to work for a change. Whilst the car is running fine the PowerFC hand controller appears to have developed a split personality.

Cue the blurry camera phone photo...

Has anyone seen similar issues before? I am curious if its the hand controller or the PowerFC and if its potentially a easy fix. The hand controller is a handy diagnostic tool, so it would be nice if it worked. :)

A search of the forums and the net yielded nothing more than adds for yogurt, so I did try!

Details: PowerFC for RB25DET / GTS-25T

and where have you been hiding?!

anyway, try the above about disconnecting everything etc. but sadly if that doesn't fix it, it's most likely the HC dying. there are a few places that can fix them. try nams auto electrical. he can fix just about anything that is electric and import related. :D

      Elevated lead levels in oil - Engine on borrowed time?

      They didn't. This is their comments; I'm not sure why they don't have the OEM specs.

      Did the oil analysis include the acceptable range for Lead? Last one i has said 1ppm is the limit and the engine I was testing had 74, 80 and 33 (was the race car, tested from brand new run in engine). It may not help to tell you the engine didn't last long, but they never did back then

      My engine has only an oil pressure switch from factory and I've installed an after market sensor that will alert me to pressure loss (https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/484431-my-bmw-335i/page/3/) . These engines can definitely feel long left/right handers which is why I added this sensor. There are no other symptoms at all. No strange noises (in fact after the turbos were replaced the mechanic made a note of how sweet the engine was running), no smoke, no glitter in the filter, nada. I'm just a stress head with car issues, I hate there being anything at all wrong with my cars, even if its basic. I just immediately get anxious and start thinking about catastrophic failure.

      Do you know where the EPS module will be located? And also the diagnostic connect located under the dash?

      Well, yeah, there is a (very thin) layer of soft lead on the surface of bearing shells to provide that first "cushion" against physical contact. Just because it is wearing off doesn't actually mean that the engine is dying. Of course, it can mean that the engine is dying. If the engine is making no noises and the oil pressure is (mostly, as in most of the time) fine, then it could just be suffering under particular conditions. That could be startup, or maybe at some point in the normal operation cycle - or maybe the Beemer engine suffers under long left hand bend (see, highway on ramp) and the pressure drops. You'd need to try to work out if any such thing is happening and then determine if you need a bigger oil pump, or an Accusump or something.
