hey guys i have a power fc in my s15 rb26 and ive recently taken the engine and gearbox out, the loom is still in the engine bay. and ive still got my battery hooked up so my alarm works, but when i turn my car to accessories to put my windows up my hand controller doesnt come on, is it because my loom isnt pluged in? or maybe a fuse or is my power fc rooted? it was fine before my engine come out

cheers

i have a sinking feeling it may be. although I don't think the PFC boots up on ACC only when the key is turned to ON.

I recently farked mine and the HC lights up but the screen doesn't come on and engine won't fire... d'oh!

yeah the FC boots up and the hand controller boots when ignition is turned to ON

usually if the FC is blown it will boot the hand controller (if it has power) and display blank or scrambled rubbish

open it up and smell for burnt stuff or check for burnt tracks

I got a question for you. On my Rb25 I have a Power fc with hand controller, when I first had it installed the hand controller would come up fine showing all the channels and information. now when I turn my car on it just shows the APexi PowerFC logo and just sits there. Likes it frozen .. no scrambling info - just the logo appears and just stays there. Any help ?

Not neccesarily

word. seen it happy many a time. fuses fine, PFC toast.

Power FCs are much more sensitive than standard ecu often with a weak ground or weak power supply stock ecu works fine, power fc doesn't. and same goes if you get a short circuit. often standard ecu fine, power FC not so fine. i have nfi why, but that's the way it is.

Hey Mate,

Recently bought a Power FC from a bloke who had his engine out as well - everything else was in the car. We tried to fire it up so I could see if it was working prior to purchase and it didn't work. Put it in my car and it worked fine...we concluded that the other end of the wiring loom needs to be connected to the engine for the Power FC to work...

I don't know if this is technically right, but it happended with me - hope it's the same with your situation as well.

Pete

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
