Hey team. 

I recently bought a 1998 R34 which has been 25DE swapped from factory 20. Had some running issues so started doing some digging. The ecu says it’s a 23740 AA010. The closest I’ve found to that is a 23710 AA010 which says it’s for a 20DE. So just wanting to confirm ecu is correct for a 25. Next hurdle i hit was engine number. I got 2 numbers on the bottom passengers side of the block. First which I believe to be the number in need is 5L3 but can’t seem to match this to anything. The second is 90188 not sure if this helps any. 

 

Any my help would be appreciated cheers guys

According to this site

http://jp-carparts.com/nissan/partlist.php?maker=nissan&type=81&cartype=&fig=226

your ecu is for an RB20DE auto AWD

That is not to say that this is the cause of your running problems.

Thanks mate. Now just need to figure out the engine number. I would assume the fuel and air mapping would be different between a 20 and a 25. So would possibly make it run a bit average 

How about you check your actual engine number ? You know on the drivers side towards the front, it will start with RB something. Rusty nuts sounds like he's right as I've never heard of an 5L3 block. There is a 5L7 stagea block that appears to be a 25 though.

The fact that the ecu is not original but for an AWD auto would support the theory that its from a Stagea  and an RB20 at that. You would think that if it came from an RB25 the matching ecu would have been fitted.

I'm not theorizing or guessing, Nissan make it easy for us when it comes to block part numbers, the 6th 7th and 8th numbers are the casting numbers, no guesses or theories required. The part number of this block is 110005L300    RB20DE

This ECU is from a HR34 Skyline N/A RB20DE auto 4speed 2WD NON-HICAS. So correct for the RB20DE you have. If your R34 is built after May 1998 then it is the ECU that came with your car.

Edited by Rusty Nuts

I am sure Steve is right. But if they haven't been messed with the RB20DE injectors should be yellow (RB25DE should be red) .

If you can find a way to measure it the 25 stroke is 2mm more than the 20 at 71.7 (the 20 is 69.7 and the 25 bore is 86mm and the 20 78mm.Doubt very much anyone would put a 25 head on a 20 but who knows....

So yes I managed to get hold of my mechanic mate that’s built a few rbs and it’s a 20DE neo. So will just have to be a runner while i gather bits and bobs to either drop a 25 or 30det into it. Bit gutted as I only bought it as it was advertised as a 25. Cheers for all your input guys. Such a primo forum

    • 65601-05U00 is the hood latch. 62550-08U31 is the support that holds it to the radiator core support. They are all super discontinued so I don't really have any great leads on how to source this stuff.
    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
