Hi there

I recently picked up my car on the run in tune on the PFC, its got a 4 grand limiter, some dipshit was fiddling with the PFC :) and the engine warning light stayed on and the car started hesitating/missing on boost. I took it into the mechanic and they said they just turned some options on the PFC on, they disabled them and the egine warning lgiht went away.

But the car still hesitates/misfires when coming on boost, is there anything on the PFC that you think i can check.

If the warning light stays on (rather than flashing), that's a bad sensor somewhere.

If you can get it to do it again and go to 'sensor check' i think, it will highlight the one with the issue for you.

Does it sound like the O2 sensor cause, the wiring plug got half melted by the exhaust but the Air Fuel Ratio gauge still works

I'm not sure to be honest but 1st thing I'd check is the AFM setting.

Make sure it's on the right one.

Just highlighting the wrong one and backing out of the menu chooses that AFM which I've done accidently, but it made my car undrivable doing that. I was nearly crying! haha, quick phone call to tuner fixed it :teehee:

Try swapping between option 1 and 2 which are standard R33 AFM, and Power Intake (pod). (assuming you're on the standard AFM)

Mine was tuned on standard R33 - option 1 even though i had a pod so just depends on what your tuners selected to start with.

But after all that, it may be something else! Good luck

check all your connectors are on and clean.

i had a similar issue with pfc in my car, tuned out it was bad connection on water temp connector and then another one (seperate occassion) with injector connection causing no spark at all in one of the cylinders... turned out it was that green goopy shit that the std connectors get after time.

      While doing my tailgate struts I found some rust. Also replaced my bonnet struts. Such a cool satisfaction with that job.

      Should I use rust converter on this?

      By PranK · Posted

      So I removed as much as I could from both sides. The shop vac did a great job of clearing 99% of it. I got it all as clean as I could and then absolutely drenched the whole lot in the rust converter. Tonight or tomorrow I'll hammer it again. The cavity must be close to 400mm in length and surprisingly I was able to get it right to the back.  I'll quickly reassemble and then pretend I never saw it. I'll post pics (for me to ignore later) soon.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I have always resisted the urge to go silly. 8" wide wheels and street friendly spring rates? Check. (Let's not talk about the steadily increasing spread of spherical joints across my suspension!!) Stock turbo, run at 12 psi? Check. Lasted for~?10 years before it died. Highflow put on rather than seizing the opportunity to go G45. You don't need 300 rwkW, let alone the more massive numbers that seem to be essential these days, to have a car that is already way too powerful and fast for a streeter. ~250rwkW is fine. I've never exceeded 200, although I will sneak up above it if and when I manage to get my finger out and do what needs to be done to use the highflow's capacity. You don't need $10k worth of CF bits glued onto the outside. You don't need razor sharp ankle cutting front splitters. You don't need the car to be 2" off the ground. You don't need flawless paint, mirror finished wheels, brand new indicator lenses, etc etc. All these things just make the car impractical and will cause you pain when they get damaged, which is inevitable for a street car. A few nice additions are good. Good seats are good. A nice stereo is good. A/C is good! (46° on the road yesterday and my A/C is degassed again. Was moderately traumatic driving home!) The main reason I stick with a mildly modified old Skyline is that I have had it for >25 years, the mods are the rolling result of 25 years of things dying and being upgraded opportunistically, coupled with a few "just 'coz" ones. And I hate almost all modern cars. If I was a young buck starting out now.... I wouldn't bother. Cars have a few years left where there is any possibility of interest or fun. Thereafter there will be no such thing allowed or possible. Any time, money and effort spent now on a project would just be a waste.
