Coming home from work this arvo, cruising on highway and car stalls, WTF

Tried restart, got dash lights, cranks, no PFC handset display, no fuel pump, checked all fuses - nothing

Checked PFC in another R33 - nothing, tried std ecu in mine and all ok except I got 750cc, gt3076r, z32 afm.

So does anyone repair or test power fc?

Can I check with nissan consult?

p.s. Anyone got std R33gtst injectors I can borrow?

there are places that repair them

you can also get apexi to repair it via nengun.com for official repair

you cant check it with consult so dont bother trying

open the powerfc up and look for any burnt tracks or damage, also smell for any burns

Bit off topic but I was just wondering, if I gave my tune from my PFC to someone that remaps stock ecus could they put my PFC tune onto a stock ecu??

It can be done but you need a nistune in your 33. That will cost about 700. Get your pfc quoted for repairs and go from there. your tuner should have your tune file.

^^ no each ecu code is unique therefore incompatible.

To OP the pfc seems to have lost the input resistor, i can do it for $80, but im sure you could get it done for far less locally.

provided they dont replace the main memory chip you shouldnt loose the tune.

i think thats the only thing no longer available... got two perfect pfc's... but the main "chips" are no good :(

seriously its a easy job to fix. far easier than replacing your injectors.

I don't think I filled my post enough but what I meant was the tuner can load up the Power FC tune, and mimic the data across to the Nistune ECU. You tuned tao's car I believe, he has given me screen dumps of his timing and ignition maps to provide my tuner. Even though tao runs a Nistune, the tuner was still able to get an idea of how things were running and how to setup the tune.

that was sort of what I was thinking, I believe Toshi does remaps to order, as in send him your specs and ecu and he sends it back tuned..

Which I would think is a less than perfect way to tune a car but..Surely if you gave him your previous tune data he could read it and mimic it so the tune should be close to spot on..

yeah as I said it would be a less than ideal way to do it..but say for instance you had a blown PFC and couldnt afford a new one..but you have your tune on file an old ecu laying around and remaps are only a few hundred bucks, it could just be enough to get you going again..

What is the chip? I work in micro processor development and might be able to find an alternative that uses the same protocol and mapping for the memory.

edit: Or are you talking about the micro itself? not the memory?

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
