Car: R34 GTT

Problem: TCS Light, Slip light, Check Engine Light all on - Errors because No power to the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor). This is causing the car to idle higher then usual and have a lack of power.

Cause: Previous owner somehow melted the main loom running out of the fire wall and along the turbo side of the car. A hand full of wires (5 or so) were melted together one of witch was the TPS wires causing a short to the ECU.

The wires have been fixed and tested with a stock ECU and everything runs fine.

It is apparent that there is a short on the Power fc although I cant visually see anything.

Does any one know of a place that fixes power Fc's?

I have tried Trent and Cat but they more focus on tuning now days

Thanks

Thanks 89CAL I did check them out how ever I did think they added an after market application to the power Fc. Any how I will message them and see what they think.

BTW thanks for your help along the way you have posted in most of my topics with useful information.

Any one else know any one?

There is another place in Sydney that does them I think, but the name escapes me sorry. Someone on here should know. Have you looked in Paulr33's FAQ? The name of the place may have been in there or something to point you in the right direction perhaps

Funny cause I contacted them. There reply was super fast. No more that 30 minutes. I'm sending my unit out for my ECR33. I hope they can fix it.

I hope they can fix it as the only thing I'm not getting is ignition spark. My hks ignition amplifier shorted and damaged the ecu.

I can remember send the last item half way around the world it was a HKS 3076R Pro S turbo for a new housing and exhaust wheel. HKS technical facility charged me 2K for the repairs and after I swallow and bang my head they lost my turbo. Like wtf. I just forgot about the whole thing and went top mount with one of 6boost manifolds and a GT35.

What an experience.

So far so good they are very prompt on the email and everything they do.

Figers crossed my problems are fixed

$150 + Postage.

Plus they said if they cant fix it no charge.

Its a lot better then I was quoted in Melbourne. The place I was going to go to cost $175 for inspection alone + price of fixing with no garentee they can fix it.

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
