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?

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
