Hi All

on Sunday whilst removing the wires from the old jap sat nav from under the 2m thick carpet/sound deadner :D a plug was found protruding from my ECU..

aftermarket ECU hey????

this is a long shot but anyone have an idea as to what ECU this plug is for???

will have to shove a screw driver in and see if it launches

or just connect it to the 260rs that apparently lives round the corner from my place....

hopefully its for something worthwhile but hey e'll see...

How are you Michael??

oh, better have a look

Seriously though, is it connected by splicing into the 20 or so wires that come

out from the ECU ??. If so, you should be able to at least determine which

function its intercepting (without dismantling the ecu, but that would be fun :P

?? (eg tach, afm, ???) of course that needs a schematic, but its probably a R33 std ecu.

humble, i'm good, but missing the staj

That's not a plug. it's so the certain signals can be sent to multible places. I found 2 behind the speedo in my car, and that had 1 speed sensor in, and 3 out (ATTESSA, ECU, HICAS). Dunno why yours is at the ECU, maybee there was something like a Super AFC, and when they removed it, they put that in to pass the signals back to the ECU.

Yeah I just found the exact same plug near my ecu last night when I was hooking up my a/f ratio guage. And probably half of my ECU wires are spliced into but I have a HKS turbo timer that has every single feature hooked up which would require quite a few of the signal wires spliced into so not sure if they go to this plug or not, it was taped up and I couldn't be botherd checking it. It may well even be the plug for the turbo timer.

    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
