Bought my skyline r34gtt and a former owner had removed the AC system. Now I finally got my hands on a complete system and mounted it. I'm using an aftermarket ECU from Maxxecu and im a bit unsure how to get this to work, anybody done this?  The air con pressure switch seems to go into the standard ecu.

It does actually - in my LS I found this out the hard way when I was keen on retaining aircon.

The good news it is doable, and I have AC with the LS, but yes the brains of the system does go through the engine ECU by default. Sadly I didn't do the work myself, but it is doable without having to have the stock ECU in the car anymore (mine is gone) through a few relays done by people far more comfortable with AC than myself.

But sadly yes the Stock ECU does more than just "AC compressor engaged so raise idle a bit :/"

yeah i can set the idle and also control AC clutch and stuff with the ECU, im just wondering how i need configure it, if i look at the Standard ECU Pinout i see Pin 21 is Air Condition control switch signal, i would guess this controls the AC compressor clutch?  I had a huge wiring diagram once but got wasted in a big fire =( and the ones in the manual isnt that good.

well, and i also see on the standard ECU on Pin 57 is Refrigrerant pressure signal, wich should be to the pressure sensor located on the AC filter can.

And on Pin 78 is Auxilary electric Fan control relay signal, i guess this is just a return signal from the AC fan if you wanna tell the ECU that then fan is Activated, but im not sure

 

If someone has this big wiring diagram of the complete car i would really like it, in the general maintenace book that you find is just some small diagrams

    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
    • I was just going to say that it's good to see you picking up the pace again. Hope the surgery goes well. More downtime just means more time to come up with new ways of digging a deeper rabbithole  
    • How do they compare in size? I have the Yaris coil packs in mine and they work fine. But they are either bigger or sit differently so the engine cover doesn't fit anymore. Not the end of the world but not great either. Do the R35 ones sit flush?
