Hey all,

This is a pretty big ask, so I'm not expecting a huge response, but I'm desperate now. I've had my car at Allstar for 3 weeks now, was supposed to be for just a simple tune but has turned into quite an effort. Andy from Hyperdrive is working on the car while Sean is off on leave.

Basically the car is giving quite a few problems which Sean and Andy both believe to be a corrupt ECU, eg. revving itself to redline as soon as it starts without opening the throttle body at all, dropping cylinders randomly, etc. etc. Now the boys at Allstar have been checking basic things such as injectors going to correct plugs on the ECU, coils, etc. but nothing has had any effect yet.

So we are now at a stage where there isn't really a lot we can do without testing another ECU. My back-up plan is to purchase a Link G4 ecu, but there's no point spending 2 grand on an ECU if it isn't going to fix the problem. So I really just need a NIStuned RB25DET Neo ECU for a manual that Andy could plug in, test it out, and then give it back to you. If it does turn out to be the ECU then I will buy the Link G4, so I'm not looking to purchase another stock ECU. I just really need one to borrow for maybe a few hours.

Anyone? :(

Thanks,

Martin.

Didn't see this yesterday.

Thanks a lot for the offer mate, I appreciate it. I ended up buying the Link ECU anyway though, decided I would be better off changing ECU now than putting more money into an ECU I want to get rid of anyway.

Thanks again though :)

    • 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.
    • 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!
