R34 Turbo Auto Guys, Can You Help Me?

[Silver_R34_GT-T]

Hey all,

apparetly my ECU in my car has failed froma common fault. Im not overly convinced that it can simply break like this for no reason at all. and before being played into buying a haltech, i was wondering if anyone out there with a r34 auto turbo will be willing to lend me their ecu to fit into my car and to see if things work out fine. ( really dont want to spend 2200 bucks unless i have to)

im willing to pay to borrow it, if no one is trusting enough

sorta need asap

thanks guys

I got a manual ecu but thats of no use to you, where's 666dan when you need him???

[Revhead]

What's it done? Not shifting properly? Depending on the issue, a manual ECU might be ok for testing, unless you need to actually drive it to test the problem. I can't help you either way unfortunately but it might widen your options a little

Bryn, you're welcome to borrow mine. I obviously need my car during normal work hours, but if you're able to work something out around that, I'm fine with it.

You'll have to come pull it out though. Hell, I need to do an oil change soon, so I'll just do that while you're off playing with the ECU.

[666DAN]

Yeah my ECU isn't so stock anymore so is no use.....but Marc is correct you can put the manual one in and everything will work A-OK except you'll be stuck in 3rd

I don't understand why the GTt isn't like the N/A model and has the auto-shift computer built into the actual car not the ECU :S

So who told you about the "common fault" I've never heard of anything go with the R34 ECU's ever, ever, ever....maybe we can diagnose via the internets for you?

Try calling Markimak or his brother, they've got the ECU from the stacked R34 that they could lend as far as I know, linky, linky

hey, the common fault is that the ignition section of my ECU has failed. so i got warning lights on the dsah and dirty missfiring.

Hacker X thanks for the offer,, sadly my car is at the mechanics still, so they are only open during the hours ya need ya car.

Ill message markimark and see if i he can help me.

thanks

Sure it's just not the coilpacks???? That's the common fault with R34's not the ECU side of the ignition

apparently they checked all that, and after looking at it they determined that the ecu was giving out the wrong stuff as were random or something (im not very good at technical shit)

the only reason i knew something was wrong was i had the traction control, slip and engine warning light on, they said that the traction control system was turning itself of as it couldnt get a correct reading from the ecu or throttle or something.

Can you PM me the workshop so I may pass judgment

mine was turning on the same lights. no missfire, ran fine. was setting i think code 24 - igntion signal primary.

i suspected faulty igniter in one coil causing incorrect feedback to ecu, setting fault code.

new set of splitfires, no more lights & idles smoother.

Yeah exactly why I think it's been misdiagnosed as the ECU...the packs are 1000000 times more likely to fail and brings up all of the other lights as it causes the sub-systems to fail at the same time.

[HackerX]

It does sound exactly like all the other cases of coil packs failing. I'd suggest borrowing a set of coilpacks and eliminating that before going too far with the ECU. Sorry I can't help you.

[Hotr34]

Has the crank shaft plug been pulled off??

Thats sounds like the same thing that happened to my old 34. Dash lights and no traction control.

[Topkart R33]

Thats coilpacks fault 4 sure...my old Stagea did the same thing. Would only do it when alota moisture in the air or very cold morning. SEARCH results show 90% result to a coil stuffed. Good luck!!
