Urgent Loan Of Auto Gts4 Ecu For Five Min. In Melb.


Recommended Posts

Can someone in Melb loan me their HR 32 RB20DET Automatic ECU so I can try on the spot to see if mine is faulty?

Get error code 34 - Knock sensor - but have replaced them and checked continuity from new sensors to ECU connector pins all OK. The voltage on the pins is also correct as per the service manual.

So the only thing left to do is just swap the ECU and see if another one says error 34 as well.

Tune on ROM probably does not matter as I think it will show error just trying to start it anyway.

But if you have a chiped ROM anyway we could just swap mine in for the test if you agree, but wont matter if not as I think just trying to start will do the job.

I can drive the GTS4 if I dont put it into boost much as the computer seems to dump the boost and shut the revs down when gets near 6 PSI.

HELP! This is driving me CRAZY!! :)

Anyone with any other suggestions please post here now! - THANKS!

I've still got my original, but it's for a manual. Will that make any difference in terms of getting the error?

Have you reset the ECU to clear any residual errors (they are persistant for something like 50 "start" cycles).

Thanks Greg, manual may not make any diff as I prob dont need to drive it, just start it and see if the error comes up.

It's strange as the other day I went for a test with Glenn and we started it about five times and Newkleers LCD Consult box said that it was <0> since error read each time even though not cleared for those five times.

You clear it and it comes straight back but does not increment as it should.

Have solved the cutting out problem by datalogging the problem on the road and exporting to excel graphs and found that at the point of dying the revs hit 3000 and the timing skyrockets to 60' BTDC.

This was with ECU ROM from SA Tuner mod by Dr Drift.

But then replaced with latest ROM from Dr Drift just before engine bearings blew from no oil pressure because of screws coming out in back of oil pump.

Latest ROM has solved the cutting out problem and datalogged a clean run to 7000 RPM all OK.

The reason I had swaped ROMs was the car was running like a dog for some reason which I eventually traced to the ECU Daughter PCB positioning in the ECU case.

Still has the error 34 showing so would like to try your ECU sometime soon.

Six years of trouble free punishing it has sure caught up to me over the last four years!!

the start count is the number of times engine has started since it last saw the code. 0 means its a current issue.

start count isnt the number of times the ecu has seen the code

Thanks for clarifying that Peter, I was wondering if your box was faulty but KNEW that could not be the case. :P

This issue of the ECU Error 34 is frustrating the hell out of me.

Do you know of the implications of this fault effecting Timing etc.?

I am assuming it will switch to a different map to retard in case of overboost/detonation condition with no knock sensor working.

I want to get the car dynoed but can't till I sort this error out.

if u can post a datalog of driving around (with a bit of full throttle/load) that might show a bit.

basically youd be looking as to whether ignition timing is retarded more than it should be (i think this is the standard anti-knock protection?)

i also have code 34 on my sr20det, which seems to be common. u can trick the ECU into thinking its ok with some resistor mod i think

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
