Needing Help Identifying A Fuse That Keeps Blowing

Hi

Currently testing a different ECU in my BNR34 Vspec 2.

Whenever I crank the car, the fuse circled below blows, and no luck. When I put the old ECU back in, the car works fine.

It says Engine CONT but I would like to know what it is specifically. I suspect it could be the IMMU (Immobiliser)

The Fuse holder isn't out of the car, it is just for illustration purposes.

Thanks

Jono

The ECU is for a R32 GTR. It has been nistuned and I would like to install it for testing purposes.

All valid re-wiring internally has been done - IE Crank angle sensor pins switched, Pin 8 and Pin 45 Bridged, and the O2 sensors grounded. (Some more things but you get my jist).

I can connect to the ECU fine and edit settings, ALL sensors check out okay, and there are no error codes. But as soon as I crank it, it blows the fuse.

There is one little thing - One pin.

Hence why I want to know specifically what that fuse is protecting. I have so many wiring diagrams, but no idea which one it is.

Sorry the one pin I was referring to the one mysterious pin that is causing the problem.

I have actually found the problem anyway - It is the coilpacks. When unplugging the coilpack loom, the fuse stops blowing.

This will be because the BNR32 runs an ignitor box, the R34 GTR does not. So there is a wiring difference. I have checked both ECU pinouts and they are identical which has me a bit confused. You'd think if the pinouts on the ECU were identical there wouldn't be an issue.

Any ideas? Or does anyone have experience with this kind of wiring / circuits?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe

      R34 GTT idle problem

      One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.

      Pfft. As if I'd ever point a high pressure washer at my car.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The nature of my commute has changed. Way back then it was traffic lights all the way, for ~28km. It sucked. When they finally stitched the expressway together I could do a good 15+km of it at a steady 80-100 with no stopping. That alone has gotten me down to flat 10s. Prior to that it was mid-high 10s. I can't remember the delta that I saw when I got the idle down. It was only ~150 rpm, because the idle speed was never terrible, but for the delta in consumption to be noticeable it would have had to have been at least 0.2-0.3 L/100km - which is not to be sneezed at when it comes for absolute free. It's only about 50L per year, but that's ~$100. A few extra pizzas is always welcome. Note that I have a record of every tank of fuel that has ever gone through my car except for a handful put in by someone else, like my mechanic. I can show you the difference between stock RB20 and tuned RB20, stock RB5Neo and tuned, winter and summer fuel blends, winter and summer fuel blends when the ambient temperature is not appropriate for the blend, working O2 sensor, blown O2 sensor, boosting f**k out of it and frightened to boost it because it is pinging, and so on. OK, I probably can't do all that now with 100% clarity - but at the time when any of those things were in event, you could see it in the records. There's 25+ years of simple tank after tank records, so you have to look for landmarks to work out approximately how old any single record is. What's really important is the meta data and that lives in my head.
