also what i'm really looking for is a factory ECU I can plug in and get Nistune... thus the interest in the R34 GTST ECU

Yeah, i've been trying to fix the issue with an ECU change as last option. I've cleaned the MAF, Put new plugs pages to .8 in, did the coil tape up as mentioned (the coils where def arking out, they had carbon marks and everything). It all kind of started when i put the boost controler and put the boost up to 10psi, so I'm running 7psi right now and its not as bad (i'm guessing it was R&R), but its gutless and still kind of stalls out on full noise. It seems to be a pretty common problem where if I accelerate at half throttle the car pulls pretty well all through the revs, if I give it full power it is guttless and its like the trottle closes even though I'm stomping on it... I'll have my foot down and around the 4500rpm its like the throttle closes, gives the comprssor surge flutter and everything! frustrating as hell I haven't checked the TPS or AFM yet, but they'll be on my list after the fuel pump... Its pretty frustrating! I'm finding the RB25 to be full of pitfalls compared the the SR20. I've read another post where a guy was having the exact same issue and it turned out to be his ECU and a boost/vacuume leak, so i'm guessing mine is the same... actually heres the video of the issue the guy posted mine is very similar

Ok, so I've searched heaps and found heaps, but its all from 3-4 years ago and there are a lot of conflicting answers on this topic I've read that a R34 GTT PowerFC will plug into SOME S1 Stagea looms and after the "Secret Squirrel pin51 mod" they run no problems, but there are issues with AC. Has anyone done this? I've also read that the R34 stock ECU's will plug in, but there is't much info on this, and its confusing as hell. One post will say it can be done, and the next will say it can't. There are a lot of conflicting answers about what us poor poor S1 Stagea owners can do ECU wise, so what has everyone done? Manual conversion or auto trans... can someone give me a definitive answer? I'm asking because I have a S1 Manual Converted stagea and am having issues where under full gas it kind of splutters? Like the throttle closes by itself... its weird... I've done the coilpack tape trick, but this hasn't really helped, so i'm looking to fit a bigger fuel pump, then if that doens't fix it, i'll be upgrading the ECU, but there are heaps of conflicting opinions on what S1 owners can do. Alot of it seems to be for Auto S1's, but i mine's been converted to manual, so i'm not sure what to use! Any help will be great... but I just want a definitive answer!

Hey guys I'm new on here, but not new to the 'import car scene'. I've had a Supercharged AE86 and a '99 S15. Just picked up a 97 S1 C34 Stagea last Friday. It was a bit rough when i got her, but i'm slowly cleaning her up So far I've swapped the cheap tiny dirty excuse of a pod filter for a K&N and cleaned the air flow meter at the same time, Pulled out the HID Head lights with no High beam and replaced them with legal standard bulbs (i have high beam now surprise surprise!), only about 2 bulbs in the AC unit worked, so I put new bulbs in so i can see it at night(I wrecked one blue condom thingy, so if anyone has some they don't want, let me know!), the car had no Floor mats so i got a full set of c34 mats for it, installed a M80 mongoose alarm and today at lunch i went home and pulled the old falling apart steering wheel off and put on a MUCH better condition one! I have no idea how to upload photos to SAU sorry, so sorry if they're huge

Thanks for that! Really looking for a couple of pictures on where to hook them up. I can see the nipple for the one in from of the tb, but can't seem to find the other one. Also read that its up to a $11k EPA fine for not having it hooked up, so if your car is road going you may want to consider hooking it up!

Hi guys, I'm new on here, but found the forum really good so far. The faq section and how to's have been awesome! Replaced my AC control lights using the guide on there... made it really easy Anyway i have a quick question. I picked up a 97 Stagea RS4 the other day and have been going over it and found the charcoal canister has been disconnected (fuel line is sill hooked up, but the vacuum lines have been disconnected). I've searched and searched for the stagea setup and even looked for the skyline setup, but need to know exactly where the standard lines go for it. Can someone with theirs hooked up give me a couple of photos of where the lines go? i know one goes to the throttle body, but just want to check and find out where the other one goes. Thanks in Advance!

Steering wheel and Air Bag SOLD! to me...

Didn't read the whole thread, but do you have floor mats available?

PM'd

Hey mate, Is the steering wheel still available?
