Nice tech thread...

Love it... Good info and good suggestions for mods....

I want to set my thermal fan/air-con fan to activate a bit earlier than what has been set on my PFC i belive so i will need the data logic right?

By the way my car is an R32GTR,

I've seen water temp on my hand controller read up to 100+( back when i had issue with my radiator was a bit block ) and the bloody fan wouldn't kicks in unless i have the aircon on which explain in a way BUT in my 33gtst wherther i had aircon on or not, the fan still come in.

Another word the 33 air condensor fan WORKS as a back up sourse as well but not in the R32?

This is an issue where i havn't found an answer by anybody wherther it was ICE or Racepace, anyone can clarify this would be GREAT.

hey guys just wondering...i just got my r32 gts-t power fc...just wondering what u guys think of the power fc boost controller kit...are they really accurate and reliable...i heard that the avc-r's sometimes boost spike...this is one thing that i deffinately dont want...will the power boost contrller kit do this

everyone that says the powerfc boost controller kit is crap doesn't actually have any proof and just blames that cos they dont know what the problem is. its the same as the avcr solenoid. i dont see why there would be any issues with it? its a valve, it watches some events and open/closes accordingly. there are plently of guys using powerfc boost kit. perhaps you could pm one of them and ask

Hi, I intend on buying a PFC for my 33. One thing I would love to know. What is your mileage per tank after you tuned the PFC? Also with what mods and at what boost pressure do you run.

updated again. fixed some spelling mistakes. removed the retarded formatting and made all the paragraphs into tables so they resize correctly on all browsers/screens. added wierd idle problem. added some more info about fc tune (upcoming product)

  • 1 month later...

updated again. added the following

-> regarding maxing out load points

-> sensor check page

-> powerfc menu options

-> powerfc software

-> self tuning with map tracer

-> light load trace and fuel economy

Hey paul... quick question... the pfc map trace and ignightion map trace on your web site (in excel format in the dyno graphs area).... What mods were on your car when these were produced... Casue my are heaps different...???

i found some top end flat spots and it was traced back to my exhaust shop not fitting a split front/dump pipe and leaving the stocker one on. i thought did the split front/dump but turned out they didnt so that kinda killed the top end power. since getting that fitted it ran awesome and didnt loose top end, ak run out of puff

Yeah i already have a split dump and full 3" with high flow....

I need to change the setting cause im using way too much fuel atm....

Try 24litres per 100km's.... I have a nice burn mark on my rear bar and i had a small exhaust fire the other day so its very important....

    • My first thought is to use something like this https://www.bunnings.com.au/goof-off-177ml-adhesive-remover_p1580913
    • Here it is nice and clean and for shits n giggles he's the clearly structural piece of trim it was holding down. 😬    
    • A lot of the trim pieces on the E39 are super brittle and just dissolve when you try to get them off. It looks like a previous owner has used what can only be described as an industrial construction foam adhesive to glue down a tiny piece of trim.  Unfortunately this part of the tailgate is starting to rust because of how much shit is in here. This is stopping the water draining and there's a big build-up of dirt that is just staying wet. How can I remove this? Would a flap disc get rid of this?  I think this car spent a lot of time inland. There's so much light coloured, fine dirt and dust everywhere.  Sorry for the pic. I've cleaned this all up now so I'll get another pic of it clean today.
    • Surely, just about any shop that has done a Skyline (or Supra, or RX-7, or EVO, or WRX) will have done E85. But perhaps you need to specify what type of car, what type of engine, what ECU, you propose to be using.
    • Try an oil additive. There's a couple of options for "easier shifting". These are essentially a similar idea to what Redline put into their Shockproof gear oils. I had a 2nd hand R33 (in fact, as of right now, it is still in the car) that simply would not engage any gear with the engine running, with normal gear oil in it. We dropped that and replaced it with Shockproof lightweight, and suddenly the gear lever did what it was supposed to. At a cost, of course, of the then ongoing damage to internals done by running Shockproof. But the synchros were already totally uninterested in life, so there was no loss.
