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

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

      And half of them have been converted to turbos.

      Welcome. This is not really true. We have a whole forum here just for the NA shitboxen. And they are not very different from the turbo shitboxen. Just weaker brakes and gearboxes, and no LSD, for the most part.

      I'm pretty sure it has an 040 in it @Duncan Also reading up, that turbo should top out at 250 as you first thought. It will be interesting to see how early it chokes due to the changes in the head too

      Yeah confirmed they are Nismo 555s, found the boxes in the spares with the factory injectors in. Yeah the AAC has been relocated to allow reuse of the factory brake booster line, and yes confirmed it has a 1 way valve in it. Unfortunately the one on the car is cracked, I'll need to replace it. Pretty sure I've got all the AAC plumbing correct in my previous post, but I am going to source some new fittings with 90o angles to help with the hose routing and also one really specific moulded shape for the AAC intake to cold start hose (will raid the back of our local repco when I get a chance and work out some combo that works) One of the big things I learned in the GTR is you need to be able to get your hands all around the bay when something goes wrong. I've done a bunch of re-routing now and it should be much more practical now. Also got the BOV mount re TIG-ed by the local engineering shop so that should be good to go now. Never got to the fuel pump because of some life stuff today, but will pull it to confirm it is suitable for 300rwkw when I get a chance

      Hello everyone, I am from Malta and have recently bought myself a fully stock 1992 Nissan Skyline GTS. It has the RB20DE engine and thus is NA. Unfortunately, not a lot of information can be found online related to the GTS, unlike the information for GTS-T and GTR variants. Apart of the Skyline, I also got a 1984 Porsche 924 2.0l NA and a 2002 Renault Clio 1.5DCi for everyday use. Excited to be apart of the community and perhaps get better information on cars such as the GTS.
