I have run an R34 GTT HKS loom and HKS FCON piggy back to a stock S1 Stagea ECU . Everything worked , I did not try the Air con though . FCON would not hold a map so I Nistuned an S2 ECU and fitted that . It has several issues , STILL HAS !! ..... PIN 51 NEEDED A RESISTOR - and now gearbox ( AUTO ) has an issue with ECU - or just an issue ! .

I can say that a GTT HKS FCON that was plugged into a stock S1 Stagea ECU using the HKS double plug loom worked - an S2 ECU with a Nistune board fitted RUNS an S1 Stagea but it has gearbox issues = tiptronic and Auto seem conflicted ! this issue is under investigation so i will update when i know ..

ok I have been given info and someone has tried it. its about a s1 stagea and running a r34gtt auto ecu. he has had it in and running fine on his s1 awd. can anyone confirm that this will work

Doubt that it would work on an auto - do you know if it was a manual S!?

Pretty sure it has been stated many times S2 ecu into S1 auto won't work.

I have tried a manual r34 gtt ecu in my s1. It started and ran no problem's. When warm the car had a slight miss I think bit started to go the longer I let it run. I was not able to test ac as my climate control is out of the car atm. The car that the guy I know has done it before was a s1 auto awd

I presume your car is a manual transmission?

Sorry to hijack but I'm wondering if anyone can confirm the ECU pinouts for 260rs S1 are the same as r33gtr or not. There doesn't seem to be a specific 260rs service manual anywhere.

Is s2 260rs ecu different to series 1 ecu?

  • 10 months later...

well....keeping in mind there are at least 3 ecu pinouts and mine was the weird one.....I had to change from negative switch to positive switch for the compressor in my car, just modified the wiring at the relay. I don't have the detail of which pin it was but I don't remember having to change it...was a few years ago.

So start with checking what you have and what you need in the AC switch. P74 of the stagea manual shows pin 14 is the one for the first wiring type.

Looking at each diagram, my stagea doesn't have the refrigerant pressure switch at pin 57 like the r34 ecu or aux fan control relay at pin 78. How would I go about adding that to the loom to get the ac to work? Everything else as far as ac relay control signal, ac signal switch and overrun clutch solenoid (unsure if this affects ac). So it must be the pressure switch and/or fan relay control as far as I can see that is missing. can I add this in or do I have to bypass it somehow? really want to get this sorted because it's soo hot here in the desert and I have to bus my kids about a bit too.

It would be good to know what loom you have. Do you know the number of the original ecu? If it is the most common type then

pin 14 with G/R wire should be the air cond relay control signal

pin 21 P air cond switch signal

pin 27 outside temp sw signal 1

pin 28 outside temp sw signal 2

Do you have all of these working?

Do you know that the aircond was working before the conversion was done?

My Stagea has a GTT Link installed and the aircond worked fine (I know that doesn't help you!)

I don't have the original ecu. Its a 97 model but not sure on exact build date. Previous owner assured me it was working before the engine was removed and rebuilt, was never regassed (has been pressure tested and regassed last week) or used afterwards and had power fc in there since. Is there any other way to tell what loom I would have?

Edited by fmlycar

yep, if yours is 97 it is late type (same as R34 GTT I think). Middle model is August 96 (mine) and the first model was prior to that. Workshop manual shows the first wiring layout, I understand the late type is identical to 34 gtt but I'll let someone else confirm.

Alternatively if you post up your VIN (or pm to me if you prefer privacy) someone with FAST can look up your ECU part number to confirm

lol yeah sucks to be you. or me.

honestly I think you need someone to trace it through...I don't have the details of all the changes but there were a bunch of differences between 0V310 ECUs and the R34 loom.

Is yours running OK? Where other changes required? If it's just the AC check what trigger the compressor is expecting by either earthing or applying 12v (via a 10A fuse)

Car runs perfectly. Was just recently retuned by jaustech in Adelaide and made 240rwkw. I bridged the ac relay in the engi e bay and compressor kicked in but ac still didn't get cold. Really frustrating as I'm not confident I could get it fixed without the wiring diagrams or something to explain what needs to be done first.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
