Hi everyone,

I just got a power FC put into my 33 GTR, however its just sitting loose there and you can hear it bouncing around whenever you hit boost or you go over speed bumps. i dont want to damage it and its also quite annoying.

can anyone please advise how they have mounted it? whats the best way!? apparently they dont have brackets -

i have tried velcro but you can still hear it shaking around side to side because the one part i can stick it onto is really thin.

would love to get some advice how did you guys do it? and do you have pics?

any help would be appreciated.

thanks all!

Hi mate I had the same problem in my R32, I tried the velcro it worked for a week or so but just kept falling off after that, so what I ended up doing is joining a few cable ties together and placing them around the PFC and through the standard bracket bolt holes and pulling it tight, if that makes sense.

Seems to work pretty good but took a bit of fiddling around to get it right, cable ties are dirt cheap anyway so its worth a try :)

My tuner used the high tech "stuff a rag in next to it" solution to stop it moving :)

I heard of another tuner using a folded up page torn from last month's workshop calendar, which provides the owner with the added bonus of a free picture of a girl with impossibly large breasts next time he takes his ECU out.

One of these days i'll pull the kick panel off mine and mount it properly.

Yeah mine's just tucked in there as well, but was tucked in quite well, haven't noticed it moving...

Weird how brackets don't really exist for it hey... :)

Might have to make some!

Take the back off the standard ECU with the mounts on it. Slot the holes slightly to fit the PowerFC case. Job done :)

hey guys, thanks for all of your replies.

i've still got the original mounting brackets, was thinking about it today - will probably just see if they fit width wise and if can tape it in or something.

i'll try and give it a shot tomorrow - will post results.

all done guys, i just redid the velcro with the hardcore GENUINE velcro stuff from bunnings.

also put a bit of the softer bits on the bottom sides of the power fc to pad it up and also stop it from rattling metal to metal.

its stuck on pretty hard - doesnt look like its going to move (touch wood)

attached a pic for those who are interested :)

cheers for all the help, reassurance and suggestions!

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
