hey all,

currently trying to get my power fc tuned and the tuner has advised me that my power fc for r34gtt has a version (same as other pfc's afm's n all) which does not interface with his datalogit or software.(he has tuned other r34gtt's but diff version pfc)

now has anybody had this issue before??? if so how did they overcome it?

he has contacted apexi...but god knows when they will reply with a fix.

cheers, Bass

Weird.. send me a PM, bring your car over and I will connect my datalogit to it to test it if you like.

i wouldn't bother contacting apexi. why would they care if their ecu doesn't work with a non supported, 3rd party application?!?!

if anyone he should be contacting datalogit.

contact fcdatalogit in nz.....

by clicking here

and they will send a patch for the software to your tuner... all gtst/gtt are the same so it should be fine...

also it it his laptop or yours? the problem could also be the usb-serial converter software :rofl:

I had this issue pop up once before. The tuner could connect a R33 but the version he had wouldn't connect to my R34. He ended up doing the tune on the hand controller then the next time I had it retuned after a IC install he had the update and it connected fine.

welll see thats what he is planning to do...he is going to tune on his own powr fc (he owns a r34 gtt) and then save the map and re-write through the handcontroller.

he has began tuning...so we will see how it goes.

ive contacted datalogit...and am awaiting a reply for the update.

til then any help would be great.

thanks again.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.

      If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly

      Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.
