ok i brought this r33 rb25det manual, it is all standard.

when i got it home the engine light was on and it was running rich as hell to the point all the plugs had failed up, fill my shed with smoke that had smelled like fuel.

i went out and got a nistune 14 pin plug and some programs on the laptop to see why the engine light was on, but it would not connect to my ecu.

latter on i have found out that i am running a N/A auto ecu for a b33 rb25de motor.

could this be why my car is running so rich and the engine light is on.?????

i am going to go and pick up a standard manual turbo ecu for it this weekend

to see if that is the problem.

what are people thoughts

any help would be good help as i am new to the skylines. if it were a holden id have no probs at all

Certainly the non turbo ecu would be a main part of the problem. The non turbo injectors would surely be smaller meaning that more fuel gets injected.

That probably wouldn't turn on the engine light though, so there's likely another issue.

Did it run nice when you bought the car? Or just happen afterwards?

i have mate new belts including timing kit oil plugs all the usual stuff, i was going to change my 02 sensor to see if that was the problem as to why it was running rich, until i found out that the ecu is not the right one.

after i change the ecu this weekend my next step is to find out why the engine light is on

i am kind of hoping that it is on because of the wrong ecu

but having the non turbo auto ecu would be why she is running so rich???

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
