Hey All! I have a bit of a problem

I bought a power FC for my auto 34 but recently found out it wont work!!!!! so now I need to find a good computer that will work- considering theres a few ppl on here with autos I was wondering if anyone knows of any???

AboBob if you see this have you looked at this for yours by any chance??

thanks people!!

Wolf 3d causes shift problems. You can use an emanage. Check the What is the Greddy Emanage thread which is stickied in the Forced Induction section.

Also I started a thread called Info for GTT Tiptronic owners here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...light=tiptronic

Mine is a one off at the moment but I will let everybody know when you can get them for yourselves.

If you want you can come over on the weekend some time and I'll take you for a spin so you know what a modified stock ECU is capable of.

Bit of a messy dyno run here but you get the picture http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=49209

Yeah I spoke to PowerPlay and they mentioned the Greddy Emanage to me aswell- I think they can get them?? but they're also pretty expensive from what Ive heard.. Power play also said they have an ECU ROM they had made themselves for the autos but its $2500 for a 29kw increase and I dont know what happens if you get more mods for it later..

u pretty much can use any of the local computers as long as u retain the factoy computer to run the tipronic...what needs to be done is to piggy back the unit onto ur standard comp....emanage can do this but i heard there not that great....haltech,microtech,ems....will all work...i personally favour the haltech...cheers!

The Haltech one sounds like it could be good!!! any idea on when its released??

As far as the Apexi one goes I plugged it in and turned it on and checked the warning lights and they were ok- but I didnt try and drive it though cause I dont have a hand controller and I wasnt sure what sort of tune is on it... The main problem only happens apparently while its driving

I guess you could put a uni chip in if its available but you cant tune them as well as a full comp or piggy back

Did you try the Power FC, or did you just listen to the rumours?

I have a PFC in my series 1 R33, and it works well, yet I have heard others say they have had trouble.

The Power FC cannot control the tiptronic auto gearbox in the R34 GTT's hence why it can't be used. The only ECU that can is the Nissan OEM ECU

Not rumours... Fact

i think ur refering to the haltech interceptor comp...its targeted to compete with stuff like unichip and emanage ....'inside goss forot to tell u' its not available for skylines!!! only ford xr6 and wrx's.....it all comes down to budget!!!!!! put out a price ur willing to spend and get the best computer for it :) the top of the range haltech was put on a manual r34 ie. e11v2 the owner said it was better than standard if that is any indication...in terms of economy and power :headspin: :headspin:

theres a guy in the for sale section who can mod the stock ecu and remove boost and fuel cuts and take off other limits and optimize a/f ration for about $300 i tihnk it is. the thread is titled r32 / r33 ecu remap. he can do r34 as well, which should do the auto fine as its the original oem ecu

Can't you just run the PFC as a piggyback and get it to control everything else except the Auto??

Hope so, cause I was getting the AP-PFC with this in mind for my R32 GTS4 RB20 Auto.

It should be able to handle all the std sensors etc I would have thought.

The ECU I have at the moment was custom tuned by Martin Donnon & Simon at Morpowa after driving it to Adelaide. (170Kw) BUT I cant drive to Adelaide every time I change something :)

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
