Air Temp On Pfc

[Col-GTSX]

After reseting my pfc earlier today by accident when trying something new with paulr.... I noticed now my air temp is not working.....

Any ideas???

[Col-GTSX]

Just a side note... My understanding is that a gts-t does not have a ir temp sensor... but i swear that it had a reading before.... Please tell me im dreaming....

[The Mafia]

mine has never worked either.

[justin911]

dreaming i think

[Col-GTSX]

Good... I thought i was going crazy.....

I guess i never really looked at the hand controler.... Maby i got it mixed up with the water temp.....

no support for air-temp on ecr33 powerfc, the hand controller shows it but the powerfc doesnt support it, where the airtemp hooks up on the rb26 powerfc the er34 powerfc has an empty wire pin but the ecr33 has a wire which is something else so it wont work

[Guilt-Toy]

Can we adapt one though ? im sure we can somehow!!! does the computer support it? can we adapt a sensor and wire it into the PFC ?

This will be a great mod IMHO

Haha I asked a similar qu recently, involving the air temp sensor on the R34 GTR intercoolers. FYI: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=86981

hehe my last post still stands

I have used inlet air temp connection on an R32GTST Power FC by connecting up an R32GTR sensor, good chance it would also work on an R33GTST. The RB25DET Power FC has an air temp correction table that can be accessed with Datalogit (and I assume Apexi Excel), however it isn't accessible with the Commander on the models I have seen. So the PFC software would appear to be able to support an inlet air temp sensor, otherwise it wouldn't have a correction table.

The intake air temp sensor is pin 36 on the R33GTR, so the first thing I would do is check and see if that pin is used on the R33GTST ECU plug. If it isn't used, then connect up an R32/33GTR inlet air temp sensor and see if it is recognised.

cheers

i tried this again tonight and cooked my powerfc

the ecu is burnt and car wont start with stock ecu either

hmmm the joys of fiddling hey

[RB30-POWER]

What did you try again?

If it doesn't start on the stock ecu, thats a good sign that its a fuse or something and the powerfc might be fine.

[paulr33]

the powerfc is burnt (smells bigtime bad) and the stock ecu does its normal thing but doesnt complete the start sequence somehow (no idea why).

i unplugged the water temp sensor and tried tapping it onto some of the empty spots on the ecu, after i tried a few i tried one more and then it died, i must have shorted two of the terminals together

my own fault

[RB30-POWER]

crikey, i would be so p****ed with myself if i did that.

unfortuanetly i am going to say i would be suprised if this powerfc ever goes again, not all the circuits are protected that well in them.

being all surface mount as well will make it a prick to try and repair.

have you opened it, can you see the burnt out components at all?

man you must be spewing so hard? (unless your rich c**t i guess)

[paulr33]

yeah im a bit pissed but tis my own fault for fiddling, no one else to blame

nah im not gonna open it, ive got a contact who can come and look at my car and sort out the starting issues, he can also repair the powerfc.

again it depends on what ive cooked inside it, could be one component or could be the whole board. if i have to buy a new one so be it, just learnt the hard way

[The Mafia]

sorry to hear about this man.

[paulr33]

yeah its all good, just wanna get it fixed and then move on

hopefully ecu can be fixed too, no doubt its cooked to all buggery though

oh well the price to pay in the aid of experiementing and learning stuff

[paulr33]

d-day for the powerfc

no physical damage at all, even on the underside

just smells a lot

[paulr33]

god you shoulda seen the hand controller display when it had a fit

it was like pac man was playing over the top of the apexi logo

gee'z it was unhappy

No good mate, no good :
