Hey,

I believe my ignition in my R32 GTS-t is up the sh!t as when you so much as turn the ignition on to ACC the Apexi PFC starts ticking??

The hand controller lights up but only displays the initial "Apexi" which is of no help to me.

I'd say from looking at the wiring that it's been hacked at a few times but yeah, surely there'd be one wire that'd shed light??

Any help is greatly appreciated!

around 12v (give or take a few) The voltage will drop when u are winding it over.

Also check that the terminals are nice and clean, make sure they are tight too. i have a Wolf 3d in my R32 and it was doing the same with dirty terminals

i had a similar problem when my high mount manifold got hot and melted the loom together... the power fc just came up with apexi and a relay near the power fc was making a ticking noise... engine would not start

found the melted loom and had to rewire the whole lot, might not be the same problem but worth a check (loom was melted where it goes around the strut tower on passenger side

I have also had a ticking sound from the passenger side of the car but have never worked out the problem as its very very intermittent. I have thought it was boost solenoid for avcr screwing up.

RB20 starter motor failure can cause this though from what i found with mine. I had starter motor fail and my electrics went crazy and also heard the ticking from pass side. Also killed my battery in the process. Fitted new starter and battery and all was normal again.

After trying to turn the car over go and feel your battery terminals. If they are hot you have too much resistance. Voltage doesn't matter if your terminals are dirty or you have a bad earth. Correct voltage at the battery doesn't mean much other than your battery isn't dead flat or have busted cells. Also check the under bonnet ignition fuse. If this is blown it will not turn over and will give the symptoms you mention.

when did the problem start?

did the PFC ever work?

has you made any changes?

was it recently installed?

if the PFC is ticking the unit is damaged usually - open it up and look for burnt components

otherwise the wiring is mangled and something is shorting out

      R32 goes out in right curves

      That's true. However, this problem has started since the tuning. First time with the return journey from the tuning. But yes, the pipe was clogged with dirt and rust. That was certainly due to age

      Great info @tidi0x  Will definitely be handy for others and maybe me if I decide to keep the shit box H pattern.

      Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.

      If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
