Hi guys,

After installing a powr fc into a R33 tonight, the car won't start. Turn the ignition on and the fuses in the boot start clicking fast and the engine check light & warning lamp flash very fast.

The dislplay screen on the H/C come's up with RB25DET and nothing else but then you turn the IGN off and back on and it will come up normal and go to the menu's but when you go into a menu eg: SETTINGS > ING - it comes up blank screen as if it hasn't loaded.

What could be the problem ?

Its deffiently not the PFC as we have tryed it on another car and it works perfectly fine. - Its a brand new FC btw.

The fuel pumps making funny sounds as if its half priming but its not got the voltage to keep it priming. - more like a fuel pump miss fire :uhh:

Thanks,

Cam

Problem Solved,

From the battery to the fues box in the engine bay had 12v but from their to FC had 7v meaning it would'nt start & fuel pump wouldnt prime. We had to re-run a power cable back to the ecu and now it works fine.

The weird thing was that it had 12v with the stock ecu and ran fine, but with the FC the same cable when down to 7v with the FC plug into the loom

The voltage sits on 14.5v when driving is this fine or too much ?

Will things go:Bang: ?

:rofl:

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
