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.

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.

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..

      R32 GTR Bonnet Hinge Bolts

      By SteveL · Posted

      From my bolts, standard M8 with 1.25mm thread pitch (M8x1.25mm).    Length is 19mm under the head and has a captive 18mm OD flat washer.   20mm length from a bolt shop is what you'll be able to get.   Make sure they're zinc plated.    If you're concerned about strength, grade 8.8 will be more than enough. Original PN is 01121-04971.  Now discontinued according to Amayama but that's because it's one of the parts that's been captured by the Heritage program, which explains the ridiculous price.   New PN is 01121-RHR20: https://nismodirect.com/nismo-heritage-bolt-pin-hinge-hood-bnr32-nissan-skyline-gt-r-01121-rhr20-01121-04971/ About AUD33 converted from Yen in the above link but that's just one example. Interesting that the hinge-to-body bolts are still available non-heritage.....PN 08116-8161G around $2 each (amayama).    Same thread but 16mm long.

      Well, if that filter was impeding fluid flow, then it could have similar effects to faulty solenoids. The TCU will register a fault when it does something (ie, changes the state of a solenoid) and does not detect the required result. If there are other causes that can make the same lack of result, then they will be indistinguishable to the expected cause for which the TCU has a code.

      R34 RB20DE NEO coilpack?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yellowjackets, red ones, blue ones (other than Splitfire) have all been demonstrated to be unreliable on turbo engines. That unreliability can be anything from outright failure (ie, 4 out of a set of 6 working out of the box) to just not being strong enough for the task, on a boosted engine. Not enough of us care about NA engines to know whether that unreliability is an issue for the undemanding needs of an NA RB20. I should think though that the DIS-008 should fit the 20. There's not really any reason for the head/coil mounting area to be any different on those 2 Neos. I wouldn't be buying Splitfires, or any other old tech coilpack, for a car in this day and age though. I would buy modern pencil coils and do what needs to be done to adapt them to the loom. That's relatively trivial these days, with numerous kits for fitting R35, or Audi, or Yaris/Corolla coils.

      Keen to see how much work is needed to get an abandoned Skyline going. My R32 has been sitting idle for three years or so but finally got some time to get it going again. (Also lurking SAU and trying to hit 10 posts so I can start my own intro thread with pics)
