HI All,

As title states I bought a r33 gtsts manual conversion and it came with this ecu, Not that I plan to use it was just a bonus thrown in but I am interested if anyone can identify it the blue heat sink looks to be either not original or someone has played with it or just Nissan are shoddy with there work.

Has very neat hole cut in it but from my knowledge if a nistune board has been fitted it is the aux board that the interface clips into not where it has been cut to expose the lower board pin like this one has.

Anyway if anyone can shed some light from the part numbers ect I am more curious as the guy I bought the conversion of is adamant the car went (he has no reason to lie as I bought gearbox not engine or ecu) and it looks nothing like my r33 one when I opened that up.

Cheers lads and ladets

Thanks for that GTSboy it has me miffed as a lot of it looks identical to mine when I opened it up but the alloy side bit has a hole in it with a + and - and hole that looks like you turn a dial but in the ecu on the card there is nothing to turn.

Well anyone else able to help me with what I have ?

If there's a screwdriver hole with +/- on it then it is possibly a case (at least the bottom of the case, not the lid) from an earlier ECU. That was the idle speed adjustment on R32ish era stuff. I don't know if it was still there on R33 ECUs because I haven't really played with them (why would I? They're only good for paperweights!).

cheers

na it doesn't have it on my 33 ecu I am mainly curious as to why there is the cut out like you can hook up to it as its in the wrong spot for anything I am familiar with.

I also did a google images of Z32 240sx and r32 stuff and it doesn't match any images I could find the car it came of was fairly stock as in still had low mount manifold ect so I cant see why it would have any weird ecu in it

Well the plot thickens I figured if anyone knew what it was itd be the guys at Nistune Matt confirmed the sticker same as GTSboy and that the case witht he + - same but the inside he had NFI and stated he had never seen anything like it before it actually runs the car all be it rough as I have a few mods that a stock ecu would run rough on to.

SOOOOO now that even the experts don't know what it is I actually care and want to know (yes curious) before I throw it out lol

Got a 6 pack riding on an answer will drop of to anyone local to me 3804 and I mean local not a hour each way

Yea HR32 you were in first with right answer, I figured it out the night I posted this up as I removed back of the cover and it was just written there it is a link g1 gts ecu ive checked numbers and she is fully programmable.

I am however looking for a link serial link so i can play with this on me dyno so if any of you have one sing out i only want to borrow it so i can copy it and return.

Sorry everyone but no chance id throw this little gem away and the best part was i got it thrown in with a manual conversion i purchased and the guy said and i quote "here you can have the ecu its got a hole in it f**k knows what that's about" i knew there was something about it one doesn't just cut a hole in there ecu

On a different note Matt aka HR32GTS where are you located as i may have to drop a sixer of as a promise is a promise.

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
