mine done it once since the new fuses. how bad was your misfire tho mate ?? same as i described above or worse ??

About the same. A massive loss of power for a split second then bang, it all comes back.

Btw, one other thing i forgot to mention. I put the standard powerfc case back on. Previously i had the R32 GTR Stock ECU casing over the powerfc. What casing are you using?

Also, what does the new fuse look like?

Feels like it looses all power for a split second and then back on again. Happens once, maybe twice for the week

If I remember correctly from on that thread, some guys with conversions were also getting it,and even some with R33 gtrs??

Seems like a bug with the unit itself

Damn :(

Btw, what version of the Power FC do you have?

So you replaced the fuse in the drivers foot well?

Yep, there was one fuse on the drivers side, under the steering wheel with the cluster of fuses there. That one seemed identical to the one i bought but the one under the bonnet where the 4wd fuse is was totally different. Much bigger and more heavy duty looking. I'll try take a pic this weekend.

Alright awesome! Deffinatly gonna give the old fuses the switcheroo. Even if it's reduced this 'power-loss-hiccup' thing from every 10-15 mins of every drive to just twice a week I'll be plenty happy with that.

As for PFC I don't know what model it is. But I bought it about 5 years ago.

I still got the stock ecu and thinking about getting the nistune chip installed and getting another tune done and just swap the two everyone and a while.

It's only a PFC problem right? Nistune dont have this problem do they?

Oh and is this fuse swap in addition to the earthing trick you done as well?

Hey man. I got my FC around the same time. Yep, pretty sure it's Power FC only. The guy who tuned my car (Hitman) said it's a common issue with Power FC and 32.

At the moment here's what i have (with no misfire):

- Power FC with original Power FC casing (plugged into stock loom and just sitting on the ground on the passenger side)

- Upgraded fuse under bonnet (ECCS i think it is but will take a pic on the weekend and post it up)

- Earth kit under bonnet, connected to the heatsink thing ontop of the engine cover (earth kit is not connected to battery but is just connected to the body. Will take a pic of this on the weekend too)

Pics would be good. Especially the fuse you have.

Pretty sure the purpose of a earth kit is so the power doesn't have to run around the chassis to go back to the battery. It's just a short cut straight to the negative terminal. And I've read reports of an extra 3-4 killer wasps and longer battery life. Plus they look cool. :-D

I just have the PFC and a 5 or 6 point earth kit straight to the battery.

Earth kits are a mixture of snake oil and cocaine. Makes you feel good without doing anything useful.

As long as you have at least one big fat earth from the engine to the chassis, with good, clean connection points at either end, and a good fat connection between battery -ve and the chassis, again with good, clean connections, then you will be hard pressed to measure any resistance at all between a point on the engine and the battery -ve terminal.

The chassis is a bigger, fatter conductor than any extra cable youcan install. Also, there are such things as earth loops that can occur if you have too many earths, and some of them are more earthy than others.

Hey dude. I have a pic of the fuse. Did you want to pm me your email and i'll send them? I took high-res ones so you can compare them to the stock fuses.

    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
