Hey Gents, My ship will be berthing in Freemantle this summer and I was hoping to get some info about used car part dealers or junk yards in the area that have Stagea / Skyline parts. There are a group of us onboard that have/race R31/R32/R33/WGNC. Thanks! Mike P.S. If anyone is in the Freemantle area in July that would like a tour of the USS George Washington, i'd be happy to host you. Cheers!

PM sent!

Anthony, The S1 and S2 ECU pinouts are not identical! I just got the actually Japanese Shop Manuls for my S1 and I'm in the middle of translating. The S2 pinout I'm using is from a copy-written translation of the Japanese S2 manuals. Already I'm seeing pins that are not used on the S1 that are used for the S2 and a few vice versa. I'll shoot you a copy of my S1 pinout when I'm done. Cheers, Mike

Matt, are you saying I can use a Z32 ecu for a series 1? If so, can you give a little more info on what to do for this application? Cheers, Mike

Matt, Do you need a Series 1 and 2 ECU to work with? I'd be willing to send them to you if it helps get new types of boards out to the public. Cheers, Mike

Darrin, That would be very much appreciated!!!! I'll pm you my email address. Cheers, Mike

Gents, I’ve been working this issue for the last couple of weeks. I have a 98 Series 1 and a 97 wreaker I'm using for parts. The 98 has ECU 23710-0V310 (Hitachi board not supported by Nistune). My first experiment was to get a JECS type ECU, # 23710-0V810 (late 98 on) and plug it into my Series 1. Immediately upon ignition I get a check engine light. Using Nissan Data Scan, I get a code 26, no boost sensor pressure. The car idles alright, about 500 rpm, a little low but steady. I take the car out for a drive and at first it drives o.k., again idle is a little low and tranny acts like it's slipping a little. Then after about 5 minutes the transmission selector switch (Power/Snow) "Power" light comes on and stays on regardless of which way its push. Also, the tranny acts like it has a 3000 rpm stall speed and moves slow until the car gets to around 50 kph. Second try was to plug in an IMPUL tuned ECU I have (JECS type with ability to solder in a daughter board), which is supposed to be for a 98 Stagea but the car acts the same way. I put the stock ECU back and all is normal. The pin out I got from the board (R34) shows pin 47 as the boost sensor reference and that it’s a red wire. The wire I have going to both the 97/98 ECU connectors is red/brown. I’ve ordered a full set of Shop Manuals (in Japanese) for my specific Series 1. Hopefully, once I get the manuals and translate the ECU pin out, I’ll be able to figure out which wires are doing what and how different the Series 1 and 2 pinouts are. Any suggestions? Cheers, Mike

Gents, Quick question about Whiteline; I ordered the front and rear sways for my S1 via Whiteline's Webstore, got a order confirmation email but have herd nothing from them in three weeks. I've email the Sales department a couple of times but no answer. Is there some sort of trick to getting these ordered? Cheers! Mike

Kiwi, thanks for the input. I've talked with Matt @ NISTUNE about my ECU issue. What I did was get a late 98 ECU (0V810, JECS board) and plug it to my stock loom. Immediately upon ignition I get a check engine light. Using Nissan Data Scan, I get a code 26, no boost sensor pressure. The car idles alright, about 500 rpm, a little low but steady. I take the car out for a drive and at first it drives o.k., again idle is a little low and tranny acts like it's slipping a little. Then after about 5 minutes the transmission selector switch (Power/Snow) "Power" light comes on and stays on regardles of which way it's push. Also, the tranny acts like it has a 3000 rpm stall speed and moves slow until the car gets to around 50 kph. I have an IMPUL tuned ECU, which is supposed to be for a 98 Stagea but the car acts the same way. I put the stock ECU back and all is normal. The pin out I got from the board shows pin 47 as the boost sensor reference and that its a red wire. The wire i have going to both the 97/98 ECU connectors is red/brown. If I can get a wire loom adapter harness I'll be able to test each wire and get a stock reference. I've got an HKS Fcon iS which is tuned but I can't do anything myself (got to love HKS.......) that's why I'm looking into the NISTUNE. Matt supposed to have a board out next year sometime which Series 1 and R33 will be able to use but I'd like to find a solution before then. So my idea was to get a JECS ECU, figure out how to make it work in stock form then get a Nistune board. It may be more then a wiring looms issue, i.e. the JECS is mapped dirrently then the Hitachi boards but i'd figured I'd work the simpler issues first. Until I have specific pin outs for each ECU and Series 1 and 2 Wire looms I'm at a stand still. That's why I ordered the manuals. Any ideas? Cheers!

I have a 98 Series 1 and a 97 Wreaker I'm using for parts. Both wire looms going to the ECU are they same and neither matches the Stagea (R34) Pin outs I've found on this or any other board. The part number for the 97 ECU ends with 0V300, the 98, 0V310, both Hitachi Boards. I also have a later 98 ECU, part # 0V810 (a JECS Board) and a IMPUL ECU (JECS). I've been playing with this wiring issue for the last week because I want an ECU I can use with NISTUNE. I've ordered the Shop Manuals for both Series (in Japanese of course) to solve this issue once and for all. A soon as I get the pinouts translated I'll post the results. By the way, I'm in the US Navy stationed in Yokosuka Japan (just south of Tokyo) so if anyone needs anything (info or parts) let my know.
