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.

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
