R34gtt Manual Conversion Wiring


Recommended Posts

Hi guys.

Seen some pretty nice manual conversion write ups but I fail to find appropriate information when it comes to plugging in a powerFC.

My ER34 as I've just found out after purchasing a powerfc in fact was an automatic conversion, causing problems with HICAS, aircon MIL etc.

Does anyone know how to convert it 100% for the powerfc to plug in as normal into a manual R34 or the changes required?

Cheers

The ER34 PowerFC is the same as the stock ecu, it just expects the normal sensors to work and be present

if there are sensors not working or out of range etc the engine check light will remain on

you can see what sensors are toast by looking at ETC, SENSOR SW CHECK on the hand controller

any sensor that is toast will be highlighted in a black background

Hi Paul

Thanks for the reply. Even my tuner is stumped by the HICAS, TCS and aircon. I presume the Tps (THR black background int he pfc) diverts or relies on a signal or output from the shift control unit? I have the service manual but when I read the wiring diagram I look like :) <-- this. So i really cant find if this control unit between the fusebox and the door edge is actually between the normal signals coming to and going out of the ECU

If anyones interested I can upload the wiring diagram to check it out.

It should be fairly simple, does the car run fine? with the PFC?

Hi URAS

yes mate the car drives perfectly no idle hunts, smooth acceleration (still the standard PFC map) even when you poke it a bit knock levels under 30, cold starts jsut as easy as warm. Mods are simple just a pod filter and 3" turbo back exhaust, only boosted to 10psi. The only things that I know of that DONT work is the TCS cannot be toggled on or off. its simply off. and the a/c compressor. the a/c console functions perfectly and is even rekognised as being turned on and off in the sw/sensor check on the PFC.

cheers

Hey guys,

I didn't want to start a new thread and hopefully this one was just lost and not an unknown resolution. Something else I've found is that a NEO AFC throttle sensor reads fine 0-100% and both the PFC and Impul ECU drive fine. just have these problems with the PFC.

cheers

    • What does everyone think about PSR vs Garrett? I've got a genuine G30-770 but would probably get away with a G35-900 because I've got a sequential. Are the real ones worth more than double the price?
    • @Duncan That's good to know. The luck I've been having with the car lately, a part of me was thinking something has gone wrong which is why the voltage is lower now.
    • That makes sense @Kinkstaah Would that mean the car would run as it always has until I get the tune? I’m just asking because I’m trying to understand whether I should try and get injectors and tube done at the same time. (I’d still need to drive from one place to another)   But I don’t want the car to run rich or crap itself while it’s got higher capacity injectors without a tune. Hope that makes sense? 
    • Sorry I can't explain they why, but I've observed voltage is always higher at cold start. 
    • so, while bored at work this week was going through some build threads and saw CRSKmD's thread and saw the free cooling improvements in the front end just by trying to direct the air better and thought i wonder how my car looks. basically, it's terrible gaps from every single point and so with some time today decided to start and tackle that.  nice and easy one to start filling in the gap at the top between the body and radiator.   then while jacking the car up found this fun surprise, never thought i would have to move it as my car isn't exactly stance nation spec but anyway decided to fix that first. so trimmed it back abit applied some primer and used some old rubber hose around all the edges to ensure it wont rub through secured it all down and while putting the fender back on realised the headlight bolt to fender wasn't installed so chucked a new one and now the headlight actually lines up with the body so big win there.   sorry for the poor pictures but went for covering up the gap between the intercooler and radiator and it took me longer than i would like to admit.   the indicators have always been really saggy and had huge gaps between them so tried to improve that and then cover up the gaps still in place to try and stop the air getting in behind them.     some awesome trimming work has been done to fit the massive China intercooler that used to be on the car but ran out of time to fix that up today sadly so plenty more to do
