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

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
