Hi All,

I've done a FAQ for the PowerFC to cover a lot of recent questions regarding the aftermarket ECU. Some of these were covered by myself so I have compiled a list of them and put them into a HTML FAQ. Please let me know if the info is wrong or you would like something added/removed/changed.

Thanks

great faq !

"Another unofficial mod is instead of buying the official powerfc hand controller extension cord is to use a normal Ps2 extension cord used for

a normal PC computer. Its the same cable you just need to break off one of the pins"

which pin would be handy to have in there

I haven't got a PFC.... but judging from what I know about computer PS/2 Interface... there are 6 pins plus a plastic tab to hold the plug.... maybe the PFC unit has only pings for 5 holes.... so it will plug in after breaking one of the pin...

Anyway... I was going to point out..."A handy trick powerfc owners use when they take car in for a service/work to be done they set the rev limit to 30000rpm and remove the hand controller." Maybe you would like to change that...

      My first thought is to use something like this https://www.bunnings.com.au/goof-off-177ml-adhesive-remover_p1580913

      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.
