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

23710-21U71 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:

thanxs mate i can tell what computer im running now as mine went arse up and the mechanic just got a second hand one and runs soo rich now there must be a drama with it

this fast book or whatever is it online or do you buy it from some where

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.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
