Hi all was supposed to get my pfc tuned today but found out it was not really working.

according to Paul @ chasers he was able to communicate with the pfc

the problem however, was that the voltage coming out from the pfc (to cranksensor etc.) was too low (way below 12v)

the car wont start with the pfc connected and so they checked the wires and stuff everything seemed to be good

and so they swapped the stock ecu back on and started the car without any problems

so does anyone no where shuld i go?

check in the fuse panel on ECR33

drivers side in the cabin

look for ENGINE 10 AMP fuse

check if its blown, if so reclace it

i forget which one is ENGINE 10amp

so check them all

or find a diagram of it my site

paulr33.com

yeh what paul said is correct, and most likely there is nothing wrong with your pfc...

i'm gonna take a stab and say you had a z32 or similar installed recently?... if so theres a good chance the signal wire shorted to ground causing one of the 10A engine control fuses under the drivers side dash to blow... this will give you approx 6-8V output instead of 12V and cause relays to click and the car not to start on the PFC .... however for some strange reason the problem does not affect the standard computer!

so check all the engine control 10A fuses under the dash on the drivers side!

good to hear all sorted

yeah its something thats got me gobsmacked

and we've seen it before, the illusive missing 10amp fuse

i dont get

how ECR33 with standard ECU runs fine and no problems for 10+ years

go and install the PowerFC and it goes spazzo, only to find a MISSING 10amp FUSE

i mean, i get it if was blown right, but a MISSING fuse - that makes no sense?

if its part of the 10AMP engine control, how can it be missing and work with the stock ecu?

why does the powerfc need it? what circuit is broken by this fuse MISSING ????

it make ZERO sense

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
