Oh - and btw - When you've got a really modified motor (like mine), you're right - most of the maps do need to be fiddled with.

Although - most of it you can fix by playing with the air flow trim...

We plugged a wide band lambda sensor into my exhaust and drove my car around for a cpl of hours to get my part throttle stuff nice and lean... 14.0 @ cruise at 60->110. So if I'm not giving it stick, it's still fairly good on the gas.

What's your power delivery like? Have you got a dyno graph at all?

Cheers,

matt

I can tell it you takes a LONG time :)  

I had two PowerFCs, and I copied *ALL* settings from one PowerFC to the other for troubleshooting... I got out the laptop, and fired up Excel :(

I sat there for three hours with my cousin reading out every single point on both ignition and fuel maps, as well as all other settings in the PFC...

I was ready to kill someone after doing that... ARGH!!!

Then I had to plug in the other PowerFC and copy all the data in the spreadsheet into the new PowerFC, which took even longer... About 4 hours....

Worst thing was, that there was nothing wrong with the original PowerFC, so all that was done in vain :)

matlowth (matt1) & whatsisname (matt2), have you guys got webpages up with your mods and photos of your cars? It's good to see other more *properly* modified R33 GTS-ts running around... Pity we all live in different cities! :(

Here's mine: actually I don't want everyone knowing my car... I'll PM you guys the URL

edit: Mine is the white one obviously... Don't mind the GTR badges, they're there to cover screw holes from the previous owner until I can source a new bootlid :)

I must've missed your URL?

No mate I don't have a webpage. I'll get around to setting one up one day.

There's actually quite a few well set up GTS25t's, it's just that most of them you never read/see about.

mightymax,

Sorry to hear of your Microtech woes. Lucky for me I haven't experienced any of your dramas in the months I've been up & running with the LT12.

Sly (Allan),

G'day mate. Yeah sure I'd be happy to go for a drive :D provided it's dry!

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
