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!

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      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

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      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

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
