PowerFc Install Pics R33?

[Penfold]

Hiya,

Was installing a PowerFc for my R33 GTR but the ECU doesn't seem to fit in the brackets like the old R32 ones did. Just wondering if anyone had any suggestion or pics of how they mounted the PowerFc behind the kick panel?

wrap it all up in foam and wedge it behind the kick pannel ... thats pretty much all you can do unless you make some brackets to fit ....

with my power FC in the 32GTR I took the bottom off my old ecu (with the brackets on) and swapped it onto the PFC, only two of the screws lines up but at least I was then able to bolt it into position properly. the other option is to use strategically placed velcro. or if you don't mind spending $100 Border Racing in Ome Japan make PFC brackets for most skylines. look very neat but not cheap.

With my r33, I just cut up the original ones and the PFC seems to fit in there fine...

yeah, don't expect if to fit, mine didn't. I just used one fo the old brackets, and put in some foam to stop it from moving and getting jarred.

As a tip, before you mount it, put a couple of large zip ties around the ends of the coupling and around the ecu. I recently had heaps of "weird intermitant" problems caused by the coupling having a slight bow in it and losing contact on the ends as it moved around on acceleration and braking.

A cheap insurance to avoid mind numbing problems.

has anyone put it under the front seat or is the cabling not long enough to be able to do this... as this was were we had the GReddy E Manage

cable? there is no cable to a PFC. it's a direct replacement. so you unbolt your old ecu, and put the PFC in it's place. the loom will not easily reach under the seat I wouldn't think. the real question is why would you want the ecu under the seat? whats wrong with the stock location?

I'm just trying to fit mine in now - none of the screws seem to line up with the old brackets.

If you used some thin double sided tape on the brackets you could use that to fasten the brackets to the PFC. Just have to make sure it doesn't leave crap on the PFC..

mine is sticky taped into the stock bracket.
