Hi just bought a power fc code Ecr  010 000

its got no controller. so i unplugged batery plugged in power fc .its kicking but not starting. air con works fans heater stereo ect so i was under the impression everything goes through ecu so if they work does that mean ecu works and just needs to be tuned . ive got 555 injectors z32 map waiting to go in and high flowed turbo with dumppipe.At the moment its got 3 inch exhaust , pod filter , boost controller, stealth intercooler, does it need to be remapped, thats why its not starting cause might have a previous owners maps. any advice would be appreciated thankyou.20180610_154051.thumb.jpg.e4f120b4a2545b7e733ac1853cc5bbf2.jpg

oh and i forgot to say that its a gtst series 1 basically a ecr33 thats why i thought the code was correct for my vehicle. also cars stock except for exhaust ,podfilter ,coilovers . i have ready to install z32 map,highflowed turbo,dumppipe,555 nismo injectors side fed,stealth intercooler,

so should car start or is anyway to test to see if works can you buy a usb com cable and run a program on laptop to see its working ect,please any help dont want to book tuners only to cop a cucumber half way through the session discovering power fc is stuffed. again thanks for any help would be appreciated.

definitely not that easy. without knowing what the previous tune spec was for certain there are a heap of settings that could be wrong enough for it not to start. or it could be damaged or dead.

you really need to borrow a hand controller, or take it to a tuner who has datalogit or similar. if you don't expect to keep the tune it is reasonably easy to reset to factory with the hand controller which should let it start and run temporarily with those mods.

Thanks Dunkan appreciate any knowledge regarding the ecu, does anyone know someone in sydney that tunes apexi power fc to an auto box, im getting a manuel valve kit after i get car tuned this week as it will be near 650 for kit plus couple hundred to install,i dont mind manuel shifting for a few weeks,

i know for a fact there are r33 gtst that are auto running on an apexi fc. but thats in Adelaide mv autos recommended a few guys that do it, problem is im in Sydney . I going to go  see unigroup but i still have not spoke regarding the auto gearbox and the apexi ecu. i also have an apexi air flow converter but the power and still cost same to tune so hoping somone knows anyone who tunes auto r33 gtst to apexi power fc. thankyou guys.

well personally I'd go to Unigroup and have been for years. But surely anyone can tune a PFC.

Re the auto, you can't tune a PFC for an auto as such. You just get a normal tune, and then the auto decides to change gear the PFC will not cut the timing to make the shift smoother like a factory ECU would. Theoretically that is bad for the auto, I have no idea how well it works in practice. But if the guys who did your valve kit are happy to warrant the work with a PFC then why worry?

thanks i guess il find out after the tune this week . Evan at Unigroup didnt say he couldnt do it so i spose if i dont leave in drive and change gears myself it will work ok untold i install shift kit. Like i said if i had money to do both at once i would but i just spent 5 k respray and everything needed for setup i have.il write more after the tune and il show dynos too maybe other people interested to see outcome of auto r33gtst.

    • Hi guys my 94 r33 gtst fuel pump has gone out. I have a walbro 525 ready to go in but am unsure if I need to upgrade the fuel tank bulk heads? Ive heard that others have issues with the stock wiring melting... Ive seen alot of people recommend this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-nissan-skyline-r33-r34-silvia-s14-s15-billet-fuel-tank-bulkhead-hat-top-an6-with-high-current-connector-apex-2-8-delphi-fpg-100?variant=42873255198898 My current pump that stopped working is aftermarket but I had no relay mod or upgraded connectors. Need some advice please. TIA
    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going.
