series on or series two ecu

does any one know how to tell the difference between them as what the numbers stand for

or know where i could find this info

Check the Nissan Part number against the following list from FAST.

23710-21U00 RB25DET S1 Manual 1993-08 to 1993-09

23710-21U01 RB25DET S1 Manual 1993-09 to 1994-04

23710-21U02 RB25DET S1 Manual 1994-04 to 1994-07

23710-21U03 RB25DET S1 Manual 1994-07 to 1995-01

23710-21U10 RB25DET S1 Auto 1993-08 to 1993-09

23710-21U11 RB25DET S1 Auto 1993-09 to 1994-04

23710-21U12 RB25DET S1 Auto 1994-04 to 1994-07

23710-21U13 RB25DET S1 Auto 1994-07 to 1995-01

23710-21U60 RB25DET S1 Manual 1995-01 to 1995-08

23710-21U61 RB25DET S1 Manual 1995-08 to 1996-01

23710-21U70 RB25DET S1 Auto 1995-01 to 1995-08

23710-21U71 RB25DET S1 Auto 1995-08 to 1996-01

23710-13U00 RB25DET S2 Manual 1996-01 to 1996-06

23710-13U01 RB25DET S2 Manual 1996-06 on

23710-13U10 RB25DET S2 Auto 1996-01 on

Wow, there was a lot of changes to the S1 ECU, 6 versions in just 2 and a half years. :domokun:

in the general automotive section. probably a few pages back now.

it doesn't really matter though. in the r33's the series 1 and series 2 ecu will work in either model (i have personally done this). some people think that the series 2 has the ignitor built into it but they are wrong. the series 2 have the ignitor built into the coils rather than having a seperate ignitor like the s1.

look at the number on the stamp on the front of the ECU. It will have, for example, MEC -52723

If it is MEC-5*** it is a series 1 ecu

If it is MEC-6*** it is a series 1.5 ecu

If it is MEC-7*** it is a series 2 ecu

as aforementioned, they are actually able to be interchanged between the different series anyway. Not really sure on the effects of this though.

just be aware of the auto/manual bit though as detailed above. Iv heard this can influence idle and a range of other things.

good luck.

i see i see. i thought the ignitor was built into ecu on s2 also. as do many people. i will have a look at the coils. yet another myth busted.

yeah it's a common myth that the ignitor is in the ecu but it isn't, otherwise the coilpack part numbers would be the same and there would be 2 different pfc computers for the different series. but there is only 1 pfc type for the 33 and 2 different coil pack types for the 33.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
