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

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      AFM looks to be a z32 The injectors maybe old Nismo 555cc The turbo tag when looked up seems to be a gt2871 , imagine it would have the bigger rear housing .82 all look like the mid 00's mods when he started building it up. Vac hose seems right but would need to see a diagram. Great work going up there and sorting it out, be a good club car for someone wanting a good reliable rig.  I know I would like to have it but no space and too many other race cars at the moment.

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better.

      2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)

      OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
