Hi guys.

Seen some pretty nice manual conversion write ups but I fail to find appropriate information when it comes to plugging in a powerFC.

My ER34 as I've just found out after purchasing a powerfc in fact was an automatic conversion, causing problems with HICAS, aircon MIL etc.

Does anyone know how to convert it 100% for the powerfc to plug in as normal into a manual R34 or the changes required?

Cheers

The ER34 PowerFC is the same as the stock ecu, it just expects the normal sensors to work and be present

if there are sensors not working or out of range etc the engine check light will remain on

you can see what sensors are toast by looking at ETC, SENSOR SW CHECK on the hand controller

any sensor that is toast will be highlighted in a black background

Hi Paul

Thanks for the reply. Even my tuner is stumped by the HICAS, TCS and aircon. I presume the Tps (THR black background int he pfc) diverts or relies on a signal or output from the shift control unit? I have the service manual but when I read the wiring diagram I look like :) <-- this. So i really cant find if this control unit between the fusebox and the door edge is actually between the normal signals coming to and going out of the ECU

If anyones interested I can upload the wiring diagram to check it out.

It should be fairly simple, does the car run fine? with the PFC?

Hi URAS

yes mate the car drives perfectly no idle hunts, smooth acceleration (still the standard PFC map) even when you poke it a bit knock levels under 30, cold starts jsut as easy as warm. Mods are simple just a pod filter and 3" turbo back exhaust, only boosted to 10psi. The only things that I know of that DONT work is the TCS cannot be toggled on or off. its simply off. and the a/c compressor. the a/c console functions perfectly and is even rekognised as being turned on and off in the sw/sensor check on the PFC.

cheers

Hey guys,

I didn't want to start a new thread and hopefully this one was just lost and not an unknown resolution. Something else I've found is that a NEO AFC throttle sensor reads fine 0-100% and both the PFC and Impul ECU drive fine. just have these problems with the PFC.

cheers

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
