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

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

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 :P

  • 3 weeks later...

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

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)

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

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 :D

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
