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

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
