Just wanted a quick check.

My friend got a c34 engine in his car. Its rb25det. Electronic vise its like early r33 engine. I didn't check the coilpacks though. CAS is mitsu, the TPS sensor is like on r32/early r33/rb26. But the ECU socket is gray like NEO engine, and consists of 3 plugs. Not like old nissans - blue plug/socket.

So my question is will I be able to get a NEO nistune board into that ECU and will it work ? Or ecu internals are like old r33 ?

Need some input.

Thanks!

wont work, buy the sounds of it he has the engine out of the S1 stagea, you can't install the nistune board on these. the ecu internals are like the R33 ecu's with an R34/S2 plug.

Have you asked Nistune...?

Or wait for Trent/Status/URAS too see this thread and be led to the sister thread in the Stagea section! http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ni...63#entry4457563

As if it is do-able, that is who i will be seeing haha

r32 ecu +adjustable cam gears... or Z32 ECU, both work on r33's, so why not us? If a S2 ECU or R34 then that makes it less work as they atleast use the same plug bar some pinout variations on the 34...

I think you will find that the engine you have is the same as a 33 and i would assume the ecu would be the same, can be done, but for the money you are spending you could get a power fc instead, a lot of screwing around to get them to work.

Other options are to mod a Z32 ecu (there is one for sale in the for sale section) or use an R32, if you go an R32 you wont have vct.

I looked into it for a while and ended up going for a power fc.

I don't think they know

You dont know if you dont ask! Seriously send me an email through and I'll have a look into it. The main thing I would need from you is

(a) photo of the insides of the ECU so I can see what internal connectors (if any) there are)

(b) consult download of ROM image. You need a consult cable for this. Use trial version of Nistune with ER34 address file and do Operations-Consult Download

Email those through and then I can see if it runs. It most likely will since ER34/WC34 (stagea) are basically the same. From what I have observed so far C34 may be also... and I might be able to bench test the board in an ER34 on the bench too

Hello guys what did you find out. I have the same issue myself right now. I wanted to get a Nistune setup but not sure if it will work on my board. Some suggested that since I still have my old z harness that I take the the blue end and rewire my c34 harness to match a normal R33 harness. So as we all know that is a lot of work but cheaper than buying a used harness for like 350. So your help would be greatly appreciated.

    • Hi guys, planning to get 18x9 +25 in fronts and 18x10 +25 in rears been reading the whole thread and cant really find anything   Anyone know if these will fit a r34 gtt with no scrubbing or guard work needed?
    • They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.
    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
    • No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
