Only person I know with aftermarket ecu is EVLR33 - he bought Kens PowerFC before I could get some money together.

Can get a new PowerFC + HC from Nengun for $1700 delivered. If I knew that would solve the problem I would order one tomorrow & prepare to be castrated:)

Yep - that's the problem though cos you can't expect them to spend their time testing things without getting paid.

Might ask Brett about his PowerFC. Might also order a new harness cos I can get one for $600, just have to wait a few weeks for it to be made & sent from Japan.

I don't mind one that's not new, but I believe there is a bit of work installing them so it would make sense to put one in to stay, therefore better not to risk one that may also have problems.

Then again, depends on how much I can get a second hand one for - I already borrowed one off Ray last year just to check against the mess that the japanese owner had left - used to be able to stall the car by jiggling (hmmm...images non car related come to mind!) the harness near the ecu.

Yea , Yea , I'm here . Geez you whores make hard to catch up.

Phptf , stop trying to hit in Lauren , we were all here first.

Micko , I'm still thinking about the problem but I'm leaning towards AFM 's or wiring still .Don't think a new harness will cover that bit.

Cheers

Ken

Hey Ken - hope I didn't get you in too much strife today! Seemed like you relished the chance to take a break from your household duties anyways:)

Car was idling at 1100rpm on the way home with a/c on. Switched it off & revs went to 1300??? Started later & idling was at about 600??? What the?

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
