Hi All

on Sunday whilst removing the wires from the old jap sat nav from under the 2m thick carpet/sound deadner :D a plug was found protruding from my ECU..

aftermarket ECU hey????

this is a long shot but anyone have an idea as to what ECU this plug is for???

will have to shove a screw driver in and see if it launches

or just connect it to the 260rs that apparently lives round the corner from my place....

hopefully its for something worthwhile but hey e'll see...

How are you Michael??

oh, better have a look

Seriously though, is it connected by splicing into the 20 or so wires that come

out from the ECU ??. If so, you should be able to at least determine which

function its intercepting (without dismantling the ecu, but that would be fun :P

?? (eg tach, afm, ???) of course that needs a schematic, but its probably a R33 std ecu.

humble, i'm good, but missing the staj

That's not a plug. it's so the certain signals can be sent to multible places. I found 2 behind the speedo in my car, and that had 1 speed sensor in, and 3 out (ATTESSA, ECU, HICAS). Dunno why yours is at the ECU, maybee there was something like a Super AFC, and when they removed it, they put that in to pass the signals back to the ECU.

Yeah I just found the exact same plug near my ecu last night when I was hooking up my a/f ratio guage. And probably half of my ECU wires are spliced into but I have a HKS turbo timer that has every single feature hooked up which would require quite a few of the signal wires spliced into so not sure if they go to this plug or not, it was taped up and I couldn't be botherd checking it. It may well even be the plug for the turbo timer.

    • Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.
    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
