Hi,

My mate has an R33 Gts-T. The car has a bosch 600hp fuel pump, Garrett 2540 turbo, blitz BOV, trust intercoler setup, elec. boost controller, and a Garage Saurus ECU.......

My question is this: Are Garage Saurus ECU's straight plug in's?? Or are they just remapped factory ECU's?? As I have recently figured out a nagging turbo issue with this vehicle I am wondering if the ECU will adjust or change certain aspects itself. I thought after sorting the turbo and boosting issues out that I would do some diagnostics as the car is not idling well. Found a diag forum on SAU and decided to try it. Pulled ECU out only to find 3 things missing: 1: 2xIndicator LED's and 2: Idle Adjustment Screw.

You can actually see on the board where these things should be yet they are absent. So would this mean the entire ECU has been changed?? I would have though that if it was just a remapped factory ECU then these things would have still been on there. Also there is zero signs of the ECU having ever been Nissan oriented eg. no part number stickers, no Nissan badging anywhere.

Does Garage Saurus or did they sell/make complete swap ECU??

If somebody could help me out with this so I can tell Tenagah here in Perth when it goes for a dyno. Also put my mind at ease as its a real headache trying to figure out why the car won't idle properly now.

Cheers,

Simon.

      Updated with the latest <68mm Xona Rotor turbos.  The two XRA options are on paper some of the compressor performance I've seen

      You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.

      Has anyone put in brand new full carpet? (not floor mats)

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆

      Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.

      Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
