PFC HELP reward offered possibly alcoholic (If that is your thing)


Recommended Posts

Hi all. I am trying to find out if the PFC is compatible with my A-LSD on my R33 GTS-T. I have searched the treads and come up with no conclusion, It works for some and not for others :confused:. So does any one with a PFC want to come to my place (or me to yours) and plug their PFC into my car and see if I get a LSD error or not, I really want to put this issue to bed! As stated earlier reward offered :uh-huh: Thanks guys!

my brother has the same problem. We tried on the weekend, series 1 r33 gtst with ALSD, plugged a brand new PFC in and the pfc wont communicate with an alsd, switches to fault mode and will only spin one wheel. Your best option would be to get an emanage, as its a piggy back system. any questions feel free to pm me.

Yeah this is my whole problem Many peoples dont work but Erins works fine :confused: So I want to see if I am one of the lucky ones or if I will have to go to the emanage/Profec e-01 combo

Andrew, it's ben covered recenly in NSW. Moanie and a few others tried it and it won't work.

Sorry for the bad news mate. I don't know how Erin got by though.

Yeah I was talking to moanie a bit the other day. I read that tread and the fault seemed to range from noting at all, to light on occasionally but diff working, to diff open wheeling :confused:. That is why I want to give it a go on mine and see what happens. I might be one of the lucky ones. I dont want to fork out the cash for one only to have to try and sell it the same day I get it as it doesnt work. I am seriously thinking about Emanage instead of experimenting just to save some stuffing around!

I've been advised not to remove the computer from my car anyway... for different reasons.

But I would say at this point in time, order it and take the car to Gav to have it fitted. Ultimately it's up to you, but if he can get mine and others working, I doubt he'd have an issue with yours :P

A-LSD is a Active limited slip differetial. It is computer controled as opposed to the normal methods. You will know if you have one cause when you start the car two orange lights will light up. One says A-LSD the other says slip.

Personally I'd turf out the old ALSD diff, and get a standard one put in. Plenty of people writing off their R33 lately, shouldn't be too hard to find for $500 or so, maybe less.

I know this seems a bit extreme, but I'd rather be spending a bit more and running full aftermarket management such as proven PowerFC, than just an e-manage. Depends what your goals are for the car.. just a bit more power, or ready for aftermarket turbo, etc later on.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
