hey ppls

im looking at getting a 33 gtr with some type of microtech piggyback device installed. The wiring at the connector has been hacked up alittle and its still got the stock ecu. Im just wondering though if i just put a powerfc in and turn off the microtech (if u can) will it all work ?? or will i need to fix up the fixing and totaly disable the microtech ??

also i think its running on the MAP sensor ??? cause the AFM's werent plugged in.. does that sound right the piggyback ecu could use a map sensor ??? i wouldnt of thought so... ? how would it be working if the afm's werent connected to the electrical connectors ??

thanks :thanks:

yes a microtech will run a map sensor.

and why would u want to unplug the microtech and use a power FC? it will do the same job if not better i would assume.... y bother pulling a workin after market computer setup 2 plug in another? i mean a PFC $800 worth + install when u have a running microtech sounds like money down the drain 2 me....

Depends on the tuner you want to use... and as i know his choice, i reckon its a good move.

It also sounds like its only a 'interceptor' type ECU set-up with the factory ECU still there.

So best to get the unknown out, and the well-known in IMO.

    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
