PFC HELP reward offered possibly alcoholic (If that is your thing)


Recommended Posts

Hi all. I am trying to find out if the PFC is compatible with my A-LSD on my R33 GTS-T. I have searched the treads and come up with no conclusion, It works for some and not for others :confused:. So does any one with a PFC want to come to my place (or me to yours) and plug their PFC into my car and see if I get a LSD error or not, I really want to put this issue to bed! As stated earlier reward offered :uh-huh: Thanks guys!

my brother has the same problem. We tried on the weekend, series 1 r33 gtst with ALSD, plugged a brand new PFC in and the pfc wont communicate with an alsd, switches to fault mode and will only spin one wheel. Your best option would be to get an emanage, as its a piggy back system. any questions feel free to pm me.

Yeah this is my whole problem Many peoples dont work but Erins works fine :confused: So I want to see if I am one of the lucky ones or if I will have to go to the emanage/Profec e-01 combo

Andrew, it's ben covered recenly in NSW. Moanie and a few others tried it and it won't work.

Sorry for the bad news mate. I don't know how Erin got by though.

Yeah I was talking to moanie a bit the other day. I read that tread and the fault seemed to range from noting at all, to light on occasionally but diff working, to diff open wheeling :confused:. That is why I want to give it a go on mine and see what happens. I might be one of the lucky ones. I dont want to fork out the cash for one only to have to try and sell it the same day I get it as it doesnt work. I am seriously thinking about Emanage instead of experimenting just to save some stuffing around!

I've been advised not to remove the computer from my car anyway... for different reasons.

But I would say at this point in time, order it and take the car to Gav to have it fitted. Ultimately it's up to you, but if he can get mine and others working, I doubt he'd have an issue with yours :P

A-LSD is a Active limited slip differetial. It is computer controled as opposed to the normal methods. You will know if you have one cause when you start the car two orange lights will light up. One says A-LSD the other says slip.

Personally I'd turf out the old ALSD diff, and get a standard one put in. Plenty of people writing off their R33 lately, shouldn't be too hard to find for $500 or so, maybe less.

I know this seems a bit extreme, but I'd rather be spending a bit more and running full aftermarket management such as proven PowerFC, than just an e-manage. Depends what your goals are for the car.. just a bit more power, or ready for aftermarket turbo, etc later on.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
