Hi guys,

Installed a powerfc and have some problems like some S1 stag's are having, though the pfc should be plug an play (to a degree) with my R34 GTT.

Done some checks and found the following

- Voltage for the throttle motor sensor (pin51) is approx 4.62v.

- Voltage on pin 23 when car is on ignition 0.01 to 0.02 fluctuating,

- Voltage on pin 23 when car is idling is 0.00

- Voltage on pin 37 is 0.00 at ignition and idle

- Voltage on pin 53 is 0.00 at ignition and idle

- Voltage on pin 79 is 0.00 at ignition and idle

I've been told they should be as the following

Pin 23 should be 0.5v approx idling

Pin 37 should be 0.5v approx

Pin 53 should be 4.7v

Pin 79 should be 2v approx

Pin 51 should be 3.4v

symptoms are the following - A/C compressor wont turn on, TCS, SLIP and MIL lights on. powerFC sw sensor check has the THR black background

Im quite lost as to where to look and why so many pins are having no output.

Any idea's where to check?

Series 1 stagea's there are 3 different wiring pinouts/ecu's. I have a series 2 stagea with the neo rb25 and did use a power fc for a while with no problems except for the engine check light which comes on due to no traction control on awd stagea's.

I am a bit unclear to what car/engine combo you have? Is it a stock R34 with the original neo engine, or have you fitted a series 1 stagea engine to it?

Hey mat,

sorry I should have specified. The car is a R34GTT (ER34) manual with the original neo rb25det. Unfortunately I never had a stock ECU, just an Impul replacement. The impul unit when installed runs fine and no error lights on the dash. a/c TCS can be turned on and off as normal. then switch the loom back to the PFC with the problems as above :)

Cheers

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
