Hey guys, just wondering if all powerFC computers have a plug for a hand controller? Because mine has no sockets for any type of plugs around the case?

As my mates pfc is identical besides he has the plug holes :/ so im a bit confused.. Is it just the outside case that is different?

Cheers

Im not sure what case they come with normally.. Mine bolts up to the original location - unlike my mates, he has to zip tie his up but has the holes for the controller.

So looks like ill have to pull te case off and see - is there anything i need to be aware of when taking the case off?

Mine is on an R33GTS-t so I don't know if it is different to the 32GTR, but it still bolts up to the original location - the cases are identical apart from the holes for the hand controller and boost controller.

Taking it apart is easy; kinda just like taking an amp apart - some screws and it then just pulls apart. You should be able to tell very easily if it has the socket for the hand controller - as far as I know all PFCs do.

I reckon someone has done a stealth install and just switched the cases, as I can quite eaily pull my PFC out of it's case and put it into the normal ECU case and vice versa. If you really get stuck I can dig up some photos - pretty sure I took some shots when I had it apart a while ago.

Normally your new PFc is supplied with 2-pieces of double sided tape, 50mm x 50mm, that's the mounts but it jambs in pretty tightly anyway.

Your case would also have an outlet for the MAP sensor (boost kit), not just the hand commander socket.

I altered mine by just using the Nissan covers.

I then get mounting brackets and it looks factory.

Yeh meant to be two sockets, mine has nothing..

It looks identical to a std computer with the mounts but has pfc logo on top.. Easily changable though.

So all pfc computers should have these plug sockets? And it should be under my case.. I can only hope!

Yep - all should have - unless you have a stock ECU in a PFC case?

How did you go?

Haha funny you say that.. because as i pulled the cover off i found no hand controller plugs etc.. so someone has just put a pfc case on the top.

Anyway i un screwed another circuit board off and discovered a "VS DATA ROM" veilside sticker on the computer chip underneath.. so im pretty sure its been chipped? as you cant tune a std computer, i believe..

plus i dont have a rev limiter, as std limits at 8200rpm for memory and mine goes past.. so someone has been playing around with this computer.

All i want to do is set my rev limiter at the moment and later on down the track once i get more performace parts etc ill need to get a tune.. would any dyno place be able to tune this 'veilside chip' or 'sticker' as i have read?

Why set the rev limiter? If u hit the limiter u run the risk of breaking ur oil pump.

Jap tuners leave the limiter high to avoid this, but they rely on the driver to avoid over revving

Yeh i was reading that the other day DVS JEZ, which i dont want to risk that.. So i was just thinking of installing a shift light, its the easier option. Anyone know of any good shift lights to install?

      That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
