Looks like my Power FC has busted.

It was working fine.....

Now car won't start. (I don't know any more than that as car is at the shop)

Workshop put a Microtech LTX12 in and fires up OK. So looks like something up with the PFC.

It had previously lost settings (the AFM setting) though.

Anyone got any ideas on what's wrong or who can fix it ? (it was bought 2nd hand and from Japan)

For now the Microtech is staying in - maybe I should just keep this in ??

Ideas, Comments are appreciated

Thanks,

Well, the car has been sitting around for a month waiting for new turbo etc - Last time the AFM setting were lost, the battery went flat - I wonder if that has anything to do with it. Or if it was damaged when charging the battery ??

I know it sounds strange Steve - but they wouldn't be doing this deliberately - We are trying to get the car ready for DC tomorrow and putting the Microtech in was the quickest way to trouble shoot.

If they had another PFC they would have put this in, but are out of stock.

I don't think the thing even fires now - it just cranks over - put the Microtech in and works OK - So not wiring.

If the Microtech was tuned properly the consumption wouldn't be too bad would it ?

If anyone knows someone that can test and fix the PFC, lemme know - Or, maybe I just buy a new one....

Damn it - I am having no luck with this car.......

Somebody else I know was having trouble with their AVC-R. From this I found you can apparently ship them back to Apexi Japan and they can fix it. They'll charge you for the time/labour to get it fixed though.. could be a few hundred $ so I guess you just have to figure its worth it or not. An authorised Apexi dealer here could probably hook you up to send it off, etc.

Yep , can do all of that - but not by tomorrow..........

I'll be lookin into why the PFC busted later - right now, I need the car going by tomorrow.......

I'll leave the Mtech in for a while and see how it goes - I *might* keep it -

Comes with fancy head up display too ! wank wank

Is there any reason why you could not try a stock computer. It might not be great, but it should at least start and run. That will tell you for sure if the problem is inside the PFC or outside.

The stock PC is no good once you've 'rooted' the car with 550cc injectors, z32, q45 etc. etc.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
