Hello,

I am considering a used power fc, the serial number is PFCGTR33 000-0072. Application is S1 R33 GTR

I'm wondering what revision this one is, and if there are any known issues with this build. I seem to recall that some versions were better than others, so I'd like to know about this one before I buy it!

Thanks for any help!

this is covered in the PFC FAQ in detail, there are "no known differences" between the builds

gen 1 is RB26XX-XXXXX and gen 2 is GTR33L-XXXXX or GTR33D-XXXXX and so on...

1st gen was sold as seperate hand controller and PFC

2nd gen was sold as a bundle with the same price

so you have 2nd generation

the PFC FAQ (in my sig) also covers how to unerstand the serial # and build dates etc

Thank you Sir!

I read your FAQ, very informative, it seemed to indicate this was from an early batch of the second gen. I thought there was a processor change at some point in the build of gen 2 models...not correct?

i think from memory only the GTST had a processor change, not sure if GTR did as well

even with the processor change, its the same functionality and operationalability

the only 'known' variance between the CPU models is that older older first gen units

were slow when using 3rd party tools such as datalogit, as it must update cell by cell

whereas the new PFC units supported the faster data protocol spec

its pretty rare to find a 'slow' data xfer PFC with datalogit

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
