Hi guys

searched these forums and the NZ ones, Problem is my GTS25T S1 runs fine on standard ECUeverything works in the car. Bought a Brand new PFC and took of the batt cable ,plugged in PFC -reconnectede batt turned on ignition, all I got was what I first thought was the fuel pump pulsing in the boot and the eng check light flashing like mad . the car would turn over but not start. the commander lights up and goes to moniter,settings,etc screen. but nothing is working. so I got on here and asked a few guys. got out the mu8ltimeter and checked every pin out voltage against the manual i downloaded ,all fine next stage hunting through all the auton stuff(yes mine was origanally auto).

spent the next day taking then dash apart and unwiring the alarm (freindly suggestion from member) no luck. finaly online I found a british gtr site where someone said there was a fuse problem on their gtr.I DO NOT BELIEVE IT!!!. in car fusebox ,left bank of two six up from bottom is an engine control fuse, its ten amps which i am thinking is fine untill you add the extra a PFC needs to save data etc. the standard ECU dosnt seem to mind at all if this fuse is blown but the PFC no way hosea. anyway just before I was going to send it back to Japan a fifteen amp fuse( why are they so hard to see in a skyline)and its fixed!! yayyy!!

yes thats right but thats when the engine is running .it didnt even get that far.

and it wasnt so much flashing as flickering in time with the buzz from the boot which turned out to be a blue relay next to the battery ( i think this is the eccs one?) once the fuse was replaced its fine and the check light only comes on a few flashes when I cane it hard (either injector max or a few knocks) its off to get tuned on the dyno now.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
