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.

Update: Fc-Hako received my power FC Tuesday Morning and had it fixed and ready to post back today.

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

Figers crossed my problems are fixed

Was it very $$$ to sort it out of curiosity??

$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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
