Hey all,

Mate of mine and i were talking today about the fuel economy of the Stagea, and the fact that the R33 Skyline has a better state of factory tune than the Stagea.

Then he asked me if the ECU from a R33 automatic Skyline be able to installed into the Stagea.

I just don't know!!

Also, while I have your attention, I've asked Sam (Dr Drift) about retuning our factory ECU and he has quoted around $1300. My wife didn't like the thought of spending that much money, but then I had another idea. My R31 wagon (RB20DET Silvertop) has a SAFC2 fitted. Can we just move the SAFC2 from my car into the Stag, then get the R32 ECU chipped in my car.

Thanks for you time, and constructive comments.

Cheers, Greg.

The ECU isn't quite the same as a R33

the ecu would be closer to a R32 GTS-4, (R33 GTS-4 was NA only) but it shares the engine management, albeit with a different tune, with the R33, but for some reason the plug and pinouts are the same as a R34. If you are willing to put a new plug on the loom I suppose anything is possible, I would just put the SAFC2 on the std Stagea ECU and go from there.

*disclaimer* all the above is S1 only. (the limit of my experience :dry: )

I went to see Dr drift a month or so back and was informed that he could do the ECU gig. It sounds like a great way to go.but the change over seems a pain...I dont drive my car much at the moment...maybe I could just give the ECU and wait...any idea of the time to have it done? From what I understand once done it gives total control of the ECU..I havent touched my car since I got it and think its time to give it a bit more grunt..this mod would be an all around bonus by the sound of it.

The turnaround is around 2 weeks, but I have a couple of changeoiver ECU's here for R33s. If you can get me the ECU numbers from your car, I can hunt down a standard ECU and send that away then swap with yours? Or we can even try the R33 ECU in your car, see if that works?

      Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.

      As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Nah. H2S. H2S is "rotten egg gas", which is what is associated with no cat. SO2 is equally nasty, and if you've ever smelt it you'll know all about it. More of a choking, acid in the back of the throat sort of thing. But you can only smell it in a narrow range up to about 1ppm. Above that, it irritates your mucous membranes, but you don't smell it.
