Anyone down in Wollongong with an R33 S1 Manual? Could even be S2, not sure if the ECU's are interchangeable, but...

I'm after a stock ECU to plug in and test, just need to check if it works, you can have it back straight away. :3

Currently running a Power FC, but need to test out with a stock one that I know works.

I've got one at home, but to be honest I think it's ratshit, plugged it in and when I turned the key to ON, the HICAS system just whirred like a bitch constantly, the AVCR lights would come on (as usual) then off, then back on solid, and I can't get the car to kick over when I turn the key.

Anyone who can help would be hugely appreciated, if you're able to help please PM me. Thanks!

what does it do with the fc for a start? i have one here in campbelltown im not using

The PFC, you turn it over, works fine. No HICAS whine, AVCR lights up fine, kicks over first time. Reason I'm taking it out is for fuel economy and cash, I don't have the money to get it tuned (it's a hand-tune at the moment, farking terrible). Also lumps at traffic lights, yay for hunting. All in all the car still goes, I just want no lumping, good fuel economy, and back open to 7k RPM. Without spending moneh on a tune. :P

sounds like your stock one is cooked then. i cant think oif any reason y it wouldnt ar all when the fc does. its usually the other way around

well if you want to come up and try, thats fine im happy to sell it too. but im not driving down there :P

Hey mate - It may be worthwhile calling bezerkly - they mod heaps of skylines and may have a spare ecu hanging around.

tell them Jase sent you.

Might do that, the only problem being that I work all week including Saturdays, makes it kinda hard to see the guys there. I know they do great work; a mate's S15 Autech went there for a service, was awesome. I'll give them a call anyway and see what I can organise.

How did it go owen?

Yeah, she's goin good. Still idling a bit high every now and then; I turn on the car, she'll idle at 1400 or so, take her for a drive and it'll idle at 850 when I get home. I think the turbo is making a bit of an odd sound at WOT in 2nd, but that's to be expected; I've gotta get it all checked out. All in all, fuel econ seems heaps better, I hit 220 before the gauge started coming down instead of the usual 170. :D

GOOD NEWS! let me know if you need anything else i have a lot of crap here lol.

you could try checking the aac, there a re a few threads in the diy section. im not sure its the problem though, and would try adjusting the idle as nissan intended first especially seeing as how you've played with the thing

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
