Might just check the wiring and voltages and bridge it out if I have to. But I think if it thought it was neutral all the time my vct wouldn't work and it definently does. Worth a shot anyway

I've ordered another power fc so that I can rule out the unit once and for all. I'm pretty convinced its a unit issue because of my old power fc running fine.

Have just checked all the wiring from the CAS to the ECU. Everything is perfect. At this stage I am pretty convinced its an ECU fault. If the new ECU works fine I'll have to find somewhere to send the faulty one for repair.

So new ECU has the same problem. I'm really stumped by this. I can't believe noone else has had this issue. If anyone happens to have a brand new Power FC (V7) and wants to help me out, please PM me, would like to compare some data if possible

Although I have tried the base map with only my injector settings changed. Perhaps if someone has a tune that seems to work fine then I can load it into my Power FC and see how it goes. Preferably something with 555cc injectors and a Z32 AFM.

I'm really stumped I've tried just about everything :(

The issue was present in another S1 R33 that I tried it in but because it had far less mods you didnt notice it as much, could just visually see it on the hand controller that the timing was 10 degrees below were it should be and was a bit erratic.

hey what did you end up finding on this CAL? I have a V7 and it does the same thing, goes full rich for a sec or 2 on gearchange/neutral before coming back up in the afrs. I just thought it was a maf reversion thing and hadn't thought too much of it until reading your thread.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
