Hey guys,

I got my R33 not too long ago with an electrical issue that Ive been tracking down. Originally the previous owner told me the car would stall going over bumps.

Without having owned it for long I realized that it will also stall when I close the door hard. So after pulling the entire drivers side of the car apart and returning every bit of electronics back to stock, I still found nothing.

Today I woke in my boredom and decided to work on it again. This time I decided I would give the fuel pump earth and ECU wiring a shot as per my search results.

The fuel pump earth did jack shit although I then realized the car stalls when you play with the ECU. I found a few weird add on connections in the harness so got soldering and fixed up any of those clip on connectors with proper solder.

Then while testing my luck banging the ecu with my screw driver to watch the revs drop and hunt, I banged it one last time.... and now it wont turn back on lol.

Now to save me throwing an absolute hissy fit, I want to fit another stock ecu into the car and see if it runs. I only need to do so to test it, and the process will not take any longer than half an hour tops.

My cars also in the middle of my backyard without a hope in hell of pushing it back up to its parking spot, and I own a jack russel. Since I got the car hes scratched every panel down to the metal by simply jumping on it to look over the fence.

So, before I misplace my sanity and throw my dog onto the M5, can someone PLEASE OH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come for a drive to bankstown and lend me their ECU.

If you have something in mind you would want in return, name it, maccas is just down the road as is a good servo etc.... but please be reasonable, I am deeply unemployed :D

Im in bankstown, just off queen street bro, under the M5.

PLIIZZ PLIZ PLIZ PLIZ I beg of you.

My ECU model no is MEC-R521 A1 3Y15, and the car is a 93 R33 GTST, altho for this I think any R33 turbo ecu will do.

also, if anyone knows about plugging in a RB20 or 26 ecu into it without re-pinning and without blowing it up, that would be great.... as I have access to both.

Thanks,

JD

Thanks mate but no worries, I took the chance on trying the RB26 ecu and it worked.

Issue was officially the ECU being a dud. Hope this thread ends up helping someone in future.

Good to hear you found the problem

lol thanks mate, lucky for that mut (whose name is Mutley) a mate with a spare RB26 ecu let me chance it in there, got it started and back out of the way of the dog...

bastard thing was watching me like a hawk all day, wanted to see over the fence like crazy i tell you.... neighbors were doing lamb on the bbq for aus day....... i bet if i went inside for longer than 2 minutes it would have been on the roof staring over the fence.

but hell that was some mad smelling lamb lol
