Hey Guys. Just got a quick question hopefully someone can help me out with.

Yesterday while I was at work some prick broke into my R33 and stole my power FC! Now this is a bad enough thing to start off with. Normally I could just plug in the standard ecu (as I have not modified injectors, turbo etc) and drive off, the problem being is that when I had the Power FC installed I also installed a Z32 AFM in anticpiation of a bigger turbo, injectors etc. later on down the track.

My question is, can I plug in the standard ECU with the Z32 AFM or am I likely to blow the whole thing up? Is it possible to even run the car like this for a short period of time?

Any help you guys could offer is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

No good dude,

Quickly find a standard AFM and plug/resolder it in or get a Power FC

Hopefully your tuner saves his tunes to PC :P

Trying to think of the scaling but youll be pushing more air than the ECU realises, therefore leaning out

..yeah, think that's right....if it starts that is

serious.... that's GOTTA be someone you know....

if your car is not heavily modded there is no reason to assume there's a good ecu in there.

sorry to hear :P

Aren't the R33 and Z32 both 80mm?

I thought the only difference was the Z32 had more scope for higher resolution at higher air flow. Therefore, if you're sucking standardish air that is still in the scope of the R33 it should still be OK? Just thinkin out loud since I'm not 100% on the specifics!

will run lean and too advanced timing with z32 and standard ecu...

you would be able to cruise however to limp the car home if you stay off boost as closed loop will compensate some what, but as soon as you go into open loop mapping, will lean out and detonate the motor.

dont run the Z32 with the stock ECU at all.. as mentioned in here in earlier posts, it WILL lean your engine out..

Also, I agree with the theif being someone you know.. otherwise, how on earth would they know you got a PFC installed... (Unless you got APEXi stickers all ova ur car)

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
