Hi

I have done some searching, but have not found a clear answer.

Will a R33 GTR VSpec Stock ECU work with a R33 GTR? and what issues will there be?

I have discovered that changing the ECU in a VSpec can lead to A-LSD problem, so the VSpec ECU sends a signal to the A-LSD computer. However if a VSpec ECU is in a GTR will it operate with no errors or will it produce errors say if checked via the consult port??

Just trying to cover as much as possible about differences for future references, please also post anything else that may be different.

ECU's are the same.

Diff is controlled separately, signals sent to it should not be affected by the ECU used. It should not be affected, if it is - you have other issues.

Hence a PowerFC for a BNCR33 & BNCR32 have the same part number irrespective of what variant model they are.

I used one with A-LSD, no issue. I then swapped to a non-vspec rear end - again no issues.

    • Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.
    • Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.
    • The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good? 
    • Nice, is there a post with the new 4" dyno curve?
