Powerfc In Auto R34 Gtt

The R34 GTT ECU and TCU are contained in the one unit.

I have had my transmission rebuilt and I'm told it can handle 300rwkw without needing the soft landing, ie timing drop, that the stock ECU does.

I was reading Sydneykid's thread on the SITC and thought perhaps I need a piggyback ECU that goes between the stock ECU and the coils.

Which ones do this? Unichip?

Then I had a brain wave.

What if I get a PFC and plug most of the wires into it so it can run the engine. Then run extensions to the signal wires that the TCU requires to run the auto transmission over to the stock ECU so that both the PFC and the stock ECU will be receiving input from all the sensors.

Any wires that are sending information from the stock ECU to the engine will not be connected. The wires that send information the transmsission would be connected.

What do you all think?

adam, the pfc will run an auto car. The only problem is flaring on the shifts as it doesn't pull back timing for the shifts.

I can't see your theory working but I am waiting to be proved wrong. :)

Why can't you just wait for darkhalf's boards? hehe

I did think there shouldn't be any clear reason with enough wiring to run both ECU's simultaneously it shouldn't work??

I haven't seen any previous mention of this on here..

Any reason why?? other than the ~$1000 pricetag of course. I guess for R34 they have a slightly different version of the autos.

The shifts wont flare on my car because my gears changes are too tight.

I know there is the odd R33 with PFC but don't R33's have a separate controller for the auto? What happens if I press the button on my steering wheel with a PFC and nothing else? Probably nothing cos it wont be connected to anything.

Adaptronic 440. It has a lot of integrated features which can save you money, ie boost control, serial input for a wideband, programmable outputs, plus some neat adaptive tuning features, ie with a wideband it can automatically alter a fuel map (though best results are done manually). Plus theres a flex fuel functionality if you're interested in e85.

Just be mindful that you're starting from scratch with ignition and fuel maps, so the learning curve is very steep. Although there are base maps available, they arent very good. You'll need to learn how to tune yourself, even in conjunction with a tuner.

i was looking at other options to have a true 4" intake without going down to 3" for the z32, or not having to run a z32 in the cooler piping thats all

Nistune is not limited to running Z32 AFM. You can install an R35 AFM sensor into a 1000mm drainpipe if you want and set Nistune up to run with that.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
