I have just had a Power FC fitted and tuned in my R33 GTR, and even though the tuner said he would keep it "lean" at cruising revs, it now uses more fuel than on its original computer. Flicking through the menus on the Power FC hand controller, its shows readings for the two O2 sensors. Deeper in the menu there appears to be a setting for O2 and a Japanese character. My questions that someone may be able to answer for me are

1) should both the O2 sensor reading be active with the motor running as only one of mine seems to register ?( a stuffed O2 sensor?)

2) can you set a Power FC to run closed loop and help low throttle cruise consumption?

Any help greatly accepted.

yep, power FC can run in closed loop. there is an option to turn closed loop operation either on or off. both sensor should be reading whenever the engine is running (assuming we are talking about a gtr here) is only one is registering then the other one is stuffed and replacing it should help fuel ecconomy.

you need to go into etc menu and choose 02 feedback control. the symbols are like this:

well running with one stuffed sensor will certainly effect fuel consumption as closed loop cruise wouldn't (or shouldn't) be operating properly. you can disable closed loop operation and have your tuner spend some time on the cruise areas of your fuel maps to give a pretty economical result. or just buy a new sensor.

hmm im just trying to understand it all.. been searching.. :huh:

but anyways is closed loop when its not using the load points/values on the ecu ?

like if i had no o2 sensor and my pfc was tuned at all the low points it would be fine ya ?

Yeah closed loop only uses the low load 'cells' of the map but I am not sure of the exact specifics.

But yeah the engine will run fine without closed loop. But if its constantly running rich, that means you'll have more carbon deposits in your combustion chamber and anything coming out from it.

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
