Hey Guys,

I want to Try put a Series 2 Manual ECU in my car to see if it changes anything.

Car was auto but changed to manual in Japan.

It has always popped and chugged below 2k rpm downhill or slowing up since I bought it.

Have read somewhere that being an Auto ECU can do this.

If anyone has 1 to sell or wants to Swap for a Series 1 Manual ECU (which I also have).

Let me know.

Cheers.

Rob.

So I managed to get one and yes twas from Ebay. Praps a bit on the exxy side but, what do you know? My baby no longer bubbles, pops and farts when pulling up or rolling downhill. It used to have a pop if I kicked the throttle to rev match when downshifting and it also used to have a small backfire pop when changing up a gear which no longer happens either. Does anyone know if I should check/adjust the timing after changing ECU? It was a stock auto ECU and now is stock manual ECU. Any thoughts / opinions appreciated.

Cheers.

*Edit. It'll be interesting to see if my fuel economy changes now.

Wouldve been popping and farting due to the auto ecu's not using overrun fuel cut

so you will pick up economy because you wont be using fuel on decel anymore :)

check timing to be safe, but i doubt it will have changed (unless the autos run different timing at idle)

    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment 
    • What are your thoughts on this after having it for a while, worth getting?
    • Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
