Hey guys

Took out the powerFC I had in the car and put the stock ECU back in. Car started for about 1 second and then stopped. When I tried to start it again it cranks but doesn't fire up.

I had a look in the fuse box under the dash and the "aircon" (エアコン) 10A fuse was blown, I replaced this, tried to start and the same thing happened - it started for 1-2 seconds then died, after that it sounds like it is turning over but wont start up.

No other fuses I can see are blown at all.

Only mods are the pod filter and FMIC, nothing else has changed except for me taking the powerfc out and putting the stock ecu back.

what AFM are you using

stock AFM - sorry I forgot to mention, its a S2 r33 gtst

any ideas what that fuse actually hooks up with so I can check it? The climate control unit comes on when switched to ACC and when i press A/C I can hear the relay in the engine compartment click but nothing else happens. Hard to imagine anything wouldve fried when all that changed was the ecu

was it the original ecu for the car or a replacement one you bought?

if so it might be for a series 1 auto or something a bit different that is pissing it off...

Its weird that your AC fuse is popping. Ensure your AC is off before you try start it up. Is this the stock ECU from YOUR car or did you buy it? I'm sure if you check up the numbers on the ECU against a R33 Series 2 Manual GTST on the net you can confirm if the ECU is the right one for your car.

I had this same problem, just because the bolt is wound right in and the plugs looks ok doesn't mean it actually is in all the way.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      So next year I am looking at upgrading from my VE SS bomadore ute to something more refined.  I wanted to stick with a V8 but not anything German or Australian, either a coupe or a sedan. So if I wanted anything newish that limited my options to either the Lexus RCF which I quite like. But with the price they demand and a kid on the way a 2 door coupe is probably not going to be the best idea. The next best thing would be the ISF but the newest models are 2014 and commanding over 60k and even the older 2008 models in ok condition starting around 35k is kind of bullshit. So I figured if I could not have the noise I could perhaps make do with easy power. Enter the infinity Q50 or Skyline equivalent. The price difference between the 300 and 400hp models seems a bit crazy. Right now there is 300hp Q50 one on carsales from a dealer with 61km for 27k drive away. If I wanted to get a 400hp Red or 400R car the prices seem to start at 43k From my limited research it seems that the only differences are that the 400r/Red Red runs more boost and a more aggressive tune. There are are turbine speed sensors on the turbos. Has 2 pumps for the water to air intercooler. Runs an engine oil cooler. I'm guessing that the exterior trims might look a little more sporty as well. I had a lazy look for upgrades to bridge the gap on z1motorsports They have kits that upgrade the water to air heat exchanger as well as the coolant pump which should give a non Red/400r better intercooling temps than the stock Red/400r. I added an engine oil cooler with a thermostat as well to try and make things as close as possible. Obviously the ECU is going to need a tickle. Having not done much in the way of research they also sell a ECU flashing tool with pre loaded tunes that are supposed to boost the non Red/400R by 100hp which adds 1k USD to the cost. The total cost of the parts @ the current time including shipping and taxes worked out to be $4350 AUD. Personally I would rather get the car tuned on a dyno which would probably add more cost Assuming the worst that you got a workshop to install the new parts I would guess no more than 5 hours would be required in the worst case @ 5 x $150 per hour = $750 So the total cost could be around $5100 So for easy number 5k + 27K = 32k I guess that would leave some change left over to swap out the open diff and fit a LSD Any thoughts?

      Blow Off Valve Is Causing Car To Stall!

      Right, not sure why I thought it to be a lean spike. It might be fixable with modern card-style hot film MAFs which have some design features to avoid counting reversion flow but I've never tried it myself.

      I did not realise this, I'll contribute more and earn my stripes and retry later.

      I'm only going to hassle you for posting links to images. It's against my policy to click links that could be some nasty payload. Sadly, you need to make 9 more posts before you can just stick the images directly in a post, unless @PranK sees this and bends the rule for you.
