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.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
