hey guys I put a new ecu in my car today its just another stock one for a series 2 r33, after I put it in and connected the power back up everything was fine I started the car and it all seemed to be working well. I turned the car off and put the ecu back into place along with the covers. After doing this I thought I'll go for a drive and see how she feels, but when I turned on the accessories I heard a very rapid ticking or clicking sound from the area ecu I did not try to start the car at this point just turned it off. So I pulled it all back out to have a look but it all looked fine! I turned the key again with the ecu just lying on the floor and nothing, the accessories came on and it all looked well, after a few seconds a moved the ecu around a little and the car stalled and the clicking started again much slower just 1-2 clicks a second????? It seems to be coming from that little blue plug that sits behind the ecu and is bracketed to the car???? Any idea why this would be happening? Or what it is? each click I could hear the fuel pump stopping and my safc would turn off…

a little bit further up that loom you'll find two green relays, could be one of them chattering, you may have disturbed one of them or the cables going to them. they are the ECCS relays which give power to you ecu, injectors and coils. i'd start by checking these relays.

      City of Casey - This is obscene!

      Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.

      Wiring high beams in IC7 for R32 GTR

      By BourneToLive · Posted

      Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know.

      RB30DET timing belt tensioner relocation query

      By zigrb30 · Posted

      G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.

      Smoothline aka Matthew stone

      By DanielStone · Posted

      Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
