hey guys

i recently bought a power fc for my r33gtr however the car will not start. The car has a mines chipped ecu and the loom has been modified to run and air fuel controller and hks evc. i need to know if this would prevent the ecu from working properly (my guess is yes just need to confirm). the hand controller of the power fc is faulty as wen i plug it in i get the clicking relay noise decribed in the power fc Faq blog. help please

I'd check all the wiring on the loom. i used to run a mines ecu, ran perfect with the original wiring.

Just check closely for anything thats loose, its got heaps of wires there. thats my guess, otherwise the pfc might be faulty

yeah but it looks like mines has modified the loom as ive got an airfuel controller to thats hooked up to the ecu loom?

yeah if the PFC is making clicking noises either the wiring loom is mangled or the PFC is damaged

either way do a wire trace, identify any issues in the loom, correct them and restore it back

see if the car runs ok with normal stock ECU to confirm loom is ok, then try the PFC

Oh yeh mine didnt have an afc on it, was just the ecu itself, so just have a real close look at the wires and let us kno how u go.

cheers

yeah it is weird i know the origianal loom has been modified for the mines ecu. the mines ecu works fine with the airfuel controller. the power fc only triggers the relay wen i plug the hand controll in, the hnad controll turns on but is full of black pixels. and the clicking relay sound comes from the boot not the ecu area? any good workshops u know of in brisbane that could check this out for me?

i bet the plug has banana'd when it was done up, make sure both ends are pushed all the way in not just the centre.

If it had a air controller on it the AFM wires will be intercepted, they will need to be found and rejoined.

thats what i thought, the airflow controller will have to be dissconnected and the stock ecu wiring found and rejoined?

This happened to me, i found out it was a fuse i was missing. The relay would click when i turned the ignition on. Mine was in a series 1 r33 gtst

yeah but my relay sound cmes from the boot? and only comes on wen i plug the hand control in? weird ay. anyways i got the power fc going into petroject Brisbane to get it serviced/checked out - needs new hand controll plug

    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
