do they release slightly differant maps in the diff versions of the pfc/hand controller maybe ?

I was comparing my ign map to the one in the faq, and in some points (outside of the first 10x10 range) they were off by like 10 degrees. I also compared them to the ign map in the FC PRO software, they was differant as well.. ??

Mine is pfc v 5.11, and hand controller v5.01A (might be the other way around)

Wered you grab the stock map on the faq from ?

as far as i know the stock maps don't change very often

i havent at least heard they do. they were taken from my tune

but i may have done it before i did factory reset so they could be a "tuned" ign map. when i get datalogit, ill copy mt tune. reset to factory defaults then upload the defualt maps to my site and then restore my tune and upload that as well. ill expand the powerfc faq a lot when i have a working datalogit

those 2 manuals are old as the hills and are for rx7. They are also the older powerfc so its not upto as the japanese SR20/RB25/RB26 manual.

it comes off the main wiring haress which i think is a digital output from the gearbox somehow, ill find out

It most certainlly a gearbox feed... The only other alternative is the ABS sensors but it still works on non-ABS skylines so it must be a gear box feed....

Plus the skyline has a digital sendor to the dash display....

hey guys i have a question for those in the know

because the nvct cam timing is constantly variable on the NEO rb25, can the PowerFC be mapped for this function, or how does that work?

with the r33 rb25 its either full advance or full retard no inbetween. and is activated by a simple on/off switch in the ecu at the desired rpm.

anyone know how the powerfc and rb25neo nvct perform?

is it completley mapable throughout the entire rpm band or whats the go?

no idea but if you find out let us know, will add to powerfc-faq

the vvt on the rb25 (33) isnt controlable and its automatically controller by the powerfc emulating stock ecu functionality. you can see it turn on and off under check sensor / sw but its not controllable or editable in map form

    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
    • curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.
    • S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
