I have a r32 with a stagea rb25det neo.

It isn't running right and im thinking maybe the ecu has something to do with it.

The r32 is manual converted.

The current ecu is 23740 0V300

I'm sure this is the 4wd auto stagea ecu.

if my car is rwd and manual, would the ecu possibly need to be changed to a different ecu?

That's the wrong ecu. It doesn't matter if its manual or auto but the OV300 is a Hitachi ecu for a series 1 Stagea that has the R33 engine. You need a Jecs ecu for a series 2 Stagea which had the Neo engine such as .23710 aa501 (or an R34 GTT ecu).

Yup says ov300, that would explain why its running so crap, doesn't like to boost. If i was to get a the neo ecu, would it be hard to swap over?

If the car runs then I doubt the ecu is your issue.

I would open one thread with ALL the information so you can get some help.

Actually, if the car runs, and is notionally a Neo engine using an R33 era ECU.....what's the chances of it being all normal stuff in there? I thought the ECU pinout was different between R33 era stuff and R34 era stuff. There are certainly different devices (like the boost sensor) on Neo stuff. If the engine is being run by an R33 style ECU, then it's quite possible that some sensors and stuff have been changed or rewired on the Neo engine.

This car needs to be put in front of an expert who can look at it all at once and work out what it is and what to do with it. These piecemeal threads on this car are not helping. Advice I gave in the other thread about Nistuning the ECU will be invalid if it turns out to be an R33 ECU!!!!!!!

Photos with rose tinted glasses perhaps?

The engine is not from a 4WD stagea. Traction control rules that out. The ECU, if the lid matches the contents, is definitely from the early S1 Stagea. That should not plug into a Neo ECU loom plug.

You definitely have some sort of bitsa going on there.

You also have that ling long turbo.

Why so many threads on all these problems? I think guys should have one thread "my car is a mechanical abortion"

Go out and get a power fc or something tunable so that you can make it run the way it should. Unless you know you have low compression in the motor and didn't check it before purchase.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
