Mounting A Power Fc In A 33 Gtr - How Did You Do It?

[KR4-GTR]

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

Same as above here.. only hint it isn't stock is the controller, take that away and noone will ever be the wiser.

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.

or i could just bubble wrap it? haha jokes!

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!
