very quick question

got mt PFC installed into my R34, ever since then my engine light wont go off the dash :) asked the tuner he said it's running fine etc and has no idea why it wont go away, he said the only time it goes away is when he loads a fresh map onto it but then comes back straight away ?

It's a default setting on the PFC, I think it's to do with the PFC boost controller. You need to go in to the hand controller and turn it off. If you where here I could do it for you, can't remember it off the top of my head. :)

its under settings then sensors the display for on and off in japanese so make it different to the knock setting obviously it might be on atm so just toggle to the other jap character

well it's getting the turbo etc done this week will have a look then :) if not I might pop in one day when im down your way for tafe ?

One thing I am curious about, is whether the PFC has 6 ignition drivers and 6 injector drivers.. or does it run semi sequential? Noticed the VIPEC plug-in board is only 4 drivers and can't find any literature anywhere about the PFC (although one would hope Apexi gave us the full 6).

You will probably find that it is batch injection, i know many ecu's have sequential but from my research when i was looking at getting one years ago the did sequential not many tuners would tune sequential, only batch.

That's it, like he said /\ /\ /\ :)

Hey guys,

Like ian_and1' s engine light being on from key on to key off. After mine has been installed i get TCS, SLIP and tne engine light solid on. and to boot the a/c doesnt turn on. Any ideas? I've reset the data and completed the 30min idle process checked nd double checked the Boost control kit. Any ideas?

Cheers

i like how you say "only"

if TPS isnt working, its a pretty crucial sensor

did the car run OK with the std ecu in? ie did it have the engine check light on with the std ecu?

i cant see why the PFC is pissed off, it cant read the TPS sensor, throttle body sensor

no idea why its not working - the sensor is either shagged or the wiring is mangled or something else is wrong

do you know of any other ER34 PFC users - do they have the same issue?

hmm is THR same as TPS - logic says so, youll probably find the SLIP system expects the TPS signal from the ECU

much like Active LSD does, the PFC wont know/expect this and wont relay the TPS signal to the other computer

so it fails, well at least in my case, thats what was happening

you are best finding another ER34 PFC user and ask what they did at install time

i think Dan666 has used ER34 PFC - ask him

I'm pretty sure that THR relates to a map sensor that only the ER34 has, sounds like yours has failed. This is the same reason we have trouble running the 34 pfc on a stagea because they don't have the sensor at all. If you have a look around the stagea section you can find the exact pin and voltage, its around 4.1v from memory that should be returned at idle.

Hi duncan thanks for the advice. Had a read through a few posts on the stags and theres alot of useful information there. Though I guess theres no real way to diagnose it until i have a known good TPS i can test out..

Any ideas why the A/c turns on but the compressor doesnt? also a/c turns on an off with the console switch in the sensor check on the PFC.

Cheers :D

corrected - What is the "Power FC Pro" and do I need it?

updated - What does the PowerFC look like inside?

added - What does the "FC Pro" sticker mean? Why is it there?

Mythbusters ahoy!

FC Pro sticker means sweet f**k all

it does NOT mean its an FC Pro unit

Hey peeps, I have a problem with my pfc. I have a 33GTR and had the injectors cleaned recently. Before that, not a problem but since, the car wont start cleanly without accelerator input when warm. When cold it started ok for a week or so. But now its the same warm or cold. When cranking the inj duty is between 0 and 3. Not enough to fire it up. Now none of the settings have changed. I have done an init of the pfc and reloaded the tune and made no difference. Once I get it started then no problem at all. It runs spot on. The sensor sw screen shows nothing wrong. I plug the std ecu in and it starts straight away. Any idea's?

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
