R34 Rb25det Conversion

[Raki_King]

Hey guys and girls

I have recently had an RB25DET Neo dropped into my R34 sedan...It was auto 2.0L neo and I have put the 25 in and converted it to manual, the loom has been completely rewired and has had the traction control removed. We started it up with no issues at all, took it for a drive and made a few adjustments to the cas and its running beautifully...It is awesome in first gear but the minute it hits 3500 - 4000rpm in second or any other gear it goes into fail-safe mode, turns to crap and gives the engine codes 44 and 46 which are tcs and tps. Apon doing some more research we noticed that we are missing unit called a "Throttle control unit" which appears to be in the 25det only from the r34 range...and being a 20de r34 it doesnt have this unit...We contacted nissan and their response was "Yes we have the unit available, $2000 please." WTF $2000????

My question is... Has anyone else come across this problem? Can something be done to the ecu to remove or bypass the need for this unit so I can get my car back on the road running as a 25det should? or does someone have one of these units that they would be willing to sell to me cheaper than I have been quoted?

Oh and I am running the standard 25det ecu

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers,

First I have heard of a 20de engine in a R34. I thought all the NA engines were still 2.5?

Yeah an rb20de does exist in an r34...Thanks for the link to the secret tweak but it hasnt made any difference to my current situation, Anyone else have any ideas?
