Hey Paul,

I just read there is a VCT and non-VCT PFC models for the RB25DET. Is this true? If so, how can I tell which mine is (second hand, no box). I don't know the model code right now cos it's at home.

all rb25det models support VCT

Is there a specific Power FC for a R34 GT with an RB20DE normally aspirated engine?

No the ER34 PowerFC assumes you have Rb25DET Neo and associated Neo ancillaries

Will the Power FC for a R34 GT-T work?

No I wouldn't expect so as it will expect Neo 25t, with Neo injectors, coils etc

You would need to look at either using an RB20 Ap Engineeering PowerFC or do an engine swap

Using an Rb20 AP eng is probably just as hard as the rb20de you have probably still has the R34 traction control etc fitted

so its not just a normal rb20de but a half cast between the RB20 and Neo engine setups

hey Paul..just got a question for ya...my car doesn't idle well...it just keeps hunting even when i have selected the R33 AFM and did the learn idle for 30 mins i've actually done this twice....so yeah i donno where my problem is would you be able to shed some light?

Cheers

bought a PFC for a R33 GTR and plugged it into my R32GTR and it wont start just sits at the apexi logo screen. Now i know this is supposed to happen with incompatible hand controllers but this came from a working skyline? any ideas? need help urgently as the car is sitting at the tuners waiting! THanks heaps

is the PFC combo new or 2nd hand?

if its freezing on the apexi logo the hand controller is the wrong version or its damaged etc

the car probably isnt starting as it needs to be DATA INIT'd and reset to factory defaults like it might have diff injectrs / afms etc

from what i understand the R33/R32 gtr pfc is the same?

but from nenguns compatibility table there is an older version hand controller 415-N001 which on works with R33 GTR? The newer model 415-X001 works with both R33GTR and R32GTR, could this be the issue? i thought since the number is FCC3 it was a version 3 hand controller meaning it would be a newer model?

yeah so you have the older style GTR PFC and the newer style hand controller which is why its freezing at the apexi logo

you need FCC NT hand controller or N001 from nengun's site

32 / 33 GTR PFC is the same, but you need a matching hand controller

if you have PFC RB26 then you need FCC NT or N001

If you have PFC GTR33L then you need FCC 3

so this would have worked in a 33GTR but obviously not in my R32GTR? thanks for the help buddy! ie. could this combination every worked together or was i sold a bullshit combination that never worked?

Hi Paul

Just a quick question, if i want to swap a RB26 engine (either a 32 or 33GTR) to my current R34 GTT which already has a PFC. Do i need another PFC based on the GTR model or can i still use the GTT? Would my a/c or other electrical works with a GTR PFC?

Driftmeister, I have a 98 GTT with a PFC for the original engine (RB26DETT(Neo). I did a swap with a BCNR33 RB26DETT but I kept my same PFC and the original wiring harness for the GTT. My GTT runs ok but with many symptoms here and there. My power steering doesn't work (nothing to do with PFC), no a/c (also nothing to do with PFC). Those two things are just compatibility issues. I just need to buy a new pwr steering pulley and an OEM compressed a/c line for a R33 chassis.

Electrical Problems...

My check engine light stays on but there's no problem...

No TCS..

Oil Temp Guage doesn't work.. compatibility issue... aftermarket sensor will fix that.

Theres a compatibility issue with the injectors. The PFC for a GTT runs on a high impedance system, the RB26 motor for a BCNR33 uses a low impedance system. I lucked out, I ordered some Bosch 444cc Green Top High Impedance injectors from the US (cheap but they sell in set of 8.. I just sold the other 2 to my shop), my tuner has a friend who's a Robotics Professor and he built a converter sensor to change the RB26 system to high impedance.

There were trial and error things that I went thru with my air sensor since I only have that one from the RB25 motor. My tuner had to modify the pfc to read the different air flows. We were trying to go D-Jetro but we still need to work things out to see whats best.

I suggest buying the correct harness and cpu for the RB26 motor if you have the loot to do so... you'll eliminate many headaches.

I'm about to get my Tomei 276 l/hr high flow fuel pump installed this weekend. Were expecting ~400whp, 62whp gain from what it is now. All I have is

Apexi Filters (both are for the GTT haha saving money again)

full custom exhaust

FMIC

SARD Fuel Regulator

Exedy Hyper Multi Plate Twin Clutch

Blitz SBC-iD III

HKS Turbo actuators

and the Tomei fuel pump.

Hope my mistakes shed some light for you!

Thanks for your prompt feedback bro..appreciate it. I didn't expect to have quite a number of compatibility issue. I thought if i were to go RB26, the best would be to use the complete harness from the 33GTR and get a PFC for the it. I would presume the TCS & A/c wouldn't be working and a/c require a separate switch for it.

Anyway, now i think it's better to just mod the GTT 25 engine which is less headache. Cheers!

  • 3 weeks later...

my r33's exhaust light is on all the time, i couldnt find an answer in ur power fc guide, if its a sensor problem, what should i do if it is? and my check engine light is on a fair bit too, but my knock is under 20. My warning functions r all on too.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
