Hey guys

Took out the powerFC I had in the car and put the stock ECU back in. Car started for about 1 second and then stopped. When I tried to start it again it cranks but doesn't fire up.

I had a look in the fuse box under the dash and the "aircon" (エアコン) 10A fuse was blown, I replaced this, tried to start and the same thing happened - it started for 1-2 seconds then died, after that it sounds like it is turning over but wont start up.

No other fuses I can see are blown at all.

Only mods are the pod filter and FMIC, nothing else has changed except for me taking the powerfc out and putting the stock ecu back.

what AFM are you using

stock AFM - sorry I forgot to mention, its a S2 r33 gtst

any ideas what that fuse actually hooks up with so I can check it? The climate control unit comes on when switched to ACC and when i press A/C I can hear the relay in the engine compartment click but nothing else happens. Hard to imagine anything wouldve fried when all that changed was the ecu

Its weird that your AC fuse is popping. Ensure your AC is off before you try start it up. Is this the stock ECU from YOUR car or did you buy it? I'm sure if you check up the numbers on the ECU against a R33 Series 2 Manual GTST on the net you can confirm if the ECU is the right one for your car.

I had this same problem, just because the bolt is wound right in and the plugs looks ok doesn't mean it actually is in all the way.

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      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

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
