installed a power fc into r34 gtr and wont start.... as per my post last week....

spent a week checking wiring etc......etc...

any one know or had experience with the immobilizer unit in r34 gtrs before..

even how to bypass or hot wire it....

another guy in the uk gtr forum had the same problemb as mine and it was the immobilizer...he ended up using an r33 gtr power fc in his r34 gtr but found out later that it can be bypassed or reset....

cheers...

G'day Mark,

You may have already checked this, but have to disabled the boost control module through the handset ??

The PFC's are defaulted with the boost control module 'on'. But if you don't actually have a PFC boost solenoid conected, it won't let you start the car.

Have a read on the handset manual and make sure the boost control module function is turned off.

Cheers

hmmm i fitted one in mine and it started first go...the only problem i had was the engine check light comes on.....mark if you plug in the commander does it light up and come on air?I dont know about that jay...i didnt disable it on mine and it worked...although i have the boost controller i didnt hook it up and it still ran

have got all the setting correct in the power fc. etc etc...

the engine light goes out with or without the hand controller in....

my car has a mines ecu which is out of an r33 gtr with the crank angle wires swapped inside the ecu.. it runs fine.....

it must bypass the immobilizer somehow being earlier model ecu...

but put the r34 power fc in and no start.... all settings correct......

wish i knew how it controls the computer.(immobilizer)....

cheers...

On my car the PowerFC would only fail to start if the boost controller setting was incorrectly set to On.

yes we all know that....

its not so simple with r34 gtr... every setting in power fc is correct for running...

Hmmm mark do you have the original key for your car?I am just wondering if someone has fitted the earlier ecu it wouldnt have the facility for the body control module(of which you already know!)But hooking up a standard type(or power FC intended for the R34 with the facilitys for imobiliser wiring ect..)the transponder or lack of transponder will picked up via the BCM and send the cut signal to the R34 ECU...if you got the key look on the end and see the red tab...pry it out with a stanley blade and check if the transponder is present...

I know i am not really answering your questions but hope this helps :(

if u turn your car on so the radio and warning lights come on, does your fuel pump prime for the same lenght of time as it did with the stock ecu in??

coz i had this same problem coz the fuel pump would only prime for around 1 second and the car wouldnt start and any setting changes i made on the hand controller would not save when the ignition was turned off.

I had to get a new positive feed form the battery to the loom and it solved all the problems.

Hi

I would like to fit a power fc on my R34 GTR uk spec, but on uk cars there is no immobilizer fitted and it wouldn't start with the R34 GTR power fc.

In uk most tuners use a R33 GTR power fc with a special harness, but if possible I would prefer to use the R34 power fc if possible

Thanks

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
