Hey guys,

I've just spent a few hours searching the forums for answers and can't find a definite answer.

I have an early model Cefiro RB20DET Auto from 1988. Currently it has a stock Auto Cefiro ECU, so all is good.

What I want to know, is the R32 Auto ECU a direct swap for the Cefiro Auto ECU? From what I've gathered, wires (pinouts) may be different... Is this true, anybody know for sure?

I'm asking because I'm about to do a remap using a NIStune board, and its developers have told me they are having trouble with Ceffy ECUs. They said the best thing to do would be to swap it over for a R32 ECU and go from there.

I was always under the impression the ECUs aren't a straight swap.

Thanks for any help

Hi iI have an Cefiro A31 RB20DET, Chipped ECU, For Sale, The new chip was done by Apet Facing and wow what a difference it made to my Cefiro after road testing it i came straight home and turned the timing back a bit as it had that much more power it freaked me out as its was loose as, The only other mods it had were pod filter and better coil setup, I have the spec sheet on what was done to the chip that was fitted if any body is interest the ECU owes me $400 NZ Dollars, Just Email me Thanks Jmind

    • Hi all,   anyone know where I can pick one of these up for a reasonable price? I just resprayed my rear trunk due to fuel stain and my new muse spat install.    added a photo for some content 🤣👍   thanks 
    • Consider a 35 too...
    • He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 😃
    • Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.
    • Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.
