ok, well i have this switch in my new car, sitting all alone, and its wired directly to the ecu,

i have had suggestions that it could be a boost controller. and also, some one else has said that it could be a idle changer, but it didnt do anythin either way for that to be it.. any thoughts??

I have heard of some Japanesse installing switches linked to the ECU as a remote "reset" switch. When pressed it resets the ECU, and/or puts it in diahnosic mode.

Thou, I think you'd hope for a performance switch then a reset switch.

I too have a unknown red button in my car.

It may also be an attempt at some sort of kill switch ???

yeah three wires coming out.... im saying its an eprom switcher. you can switch the upper address pin on a larger eprom and select between two programs. make sure your ignition is off (and prob disconnect the battery terminal - i dont know if the program runs on this ECU when ignition is off but better safe than sorry) before flicking it!

you'd have to take the cover off and give us another pic where the wires come from. prob switches to another program to swap all the mappings over. just depends what those mappings are set to (higher octane?)

they have some type of automotive glue/laquer on the screws.

i tried different screw driver tips until one fitted 'nicely' to remove the covers from these types of ECUs. you have to push into the screw while putting pressure to turn it (to prevent rounding) and hopefully it should 'click' to losen it

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
