Hey all

Other day I got myself a power fc for my humble 32 gtr . All is well drives good everything works great . I bought a map censor and hook it in and it's not giving me a reading ? Ontop of that I hooked up the boost controller as it states in paulr33's manual ( thanks cheif ) and it just free boosts . Can someone please chuck up some pics of their enginebay so I can see what I did wrong ? Shows no boost pressure on the computer just lines . Thanks people In advance apreciate the help , better yet still if you live on the gc and will let me take a look at your car please txt or call me 0414 853 859 .

well its not reading your boost presure so it cant regualate your boost. Where have you hooked the map sensor up to?

Mines hooked up on the same line as my boost gauge and works fine... If you've tee-d it in pretty much anywhere it should get a reading so not sure whats going on, chuck up some pictures of your setup

BTW: you def turned the "Boost control kit" or whatever it is option on under settings or ETC, its in pauls manual, i havent played with mine for that long i forget where it is and what its called....

where did you hook the map sensor up to? what wire? what plug?

the powerfc is display --- as it cannot read the map sensor signal

this is why its probably running in unlimited boost mode too, as the powerfc kit isnt turned on or isnt working (you have to enable it as well)

It might be a bit of a drive, but if you come to my workshop in Brisbane, I am sure we can suss it out for you.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
