Term's right - the s1's have a R34 plug on the ECU :P

So for some strange reason nissan decided to put a R34 plug on the S1 Stagea's even though they had the same engine setup as the R33's.

I've got a Stagea s1 ecu pin out somewhere at home. I'll see if I can find it over the weekend.

Woah, blast from the past hey Jay

Howdy :O

Yep, thought I'd pop my head in and say g'day. What's it been, about 18 months.. lol

I've seen you around a bit, makes me miss the Stagea :dry:

I'm pretty sure I've got the pin outs around here somewhere, I gave hard copies to Kris when he bought my Stagea but I had electronic copies as well from when I put the Unichip in her.

To be conitued. lol

That would be odd, as the RB25DET NEO has VVT where as the RB25DET doesn't. wiring wouldn't have much to do with that.

Perhaps an R33 Powerfc with an R34 plug would solve all our problems?

??cONFUSED??

But I thought the S1 did have VVT?

Well, mine is a 97 S1 and it has VVT on the inlet side...

Here are a few things from my mind.

WGNC34 ----> R34 chassis based, but R33 parts used, possibly to finish stock at Nissan? Maybe they didnt want to release the NEO in the stageas before they did in the Skylines, where the Skylines only came out in 98 with the NEO's and the Stageas in 96/97 could have had the NEO's?

This could account for the mismatching between parts in the Stageas, for example, the rear brakes are different in a model revision in the S1's in late 97. The rear brakes change from the R33 GTS4 to the R34 GT (whatever is N/A and 4wd)

Similar could have happend with the ECU. Also, dont forget that Stageas are detuned in comparison to their Skyline counterparts, not only with power but torque as well. Maybe Nissan decided to go for a newer ECU in the Stageas as it was released later (96, compared to R33's in 93) and it was difficult to pass emissions regulations etc? Who bloody knows, but its a freaking mix and match these cars!

ALSO. Both the S2 R33 engines and R34 engines have VVT, just on the R33's the VVT is on/off, where on the R34 engines it is infinatly variable. THis is what helps the NEO's be slightly better on the fuel.

To also clear up a few other things, R33 S2 turbos have Nylon compressor wheels, the same as the R34 NEO turbos.

OK, to add to the questions here (and hopefully help reduce some of the confusion), my question is this:

Seeing as the s1 Stagea has what seems to be the R34 plug, and Stageas, s2 R33's and R34's all have VVT, would there be any issue in using the Neo PFC with the Stagea (i.e., could the R34 PFC be made to run the VVT in on/off mode on the s1 Stagea instead of in constantly variable mode)?

If this is a possibility, then maybe all of us manual-boxed owners can go straight to the R34's PFC (apparently like Ska's runs) and avoid re-wiring the plugs, and just run them in switchable VVT mode, right?

I had my cousin's R33 (s1) standard ECU here for a while, but never got a chance to remove the one in my Stagea and compare the two. Might have to see if I can borrow it back.

I think Ska may already have the proof, if he definately has an R34 PFC, and can confirm that the ECU plug hasn't been replaced. I'd still like definate confirmation if the R34 PFC will run a series one stagea though.

Would you like me to find a digital camera and go take a picture of it, it's easily accessable now, found it when I took my dash out to do the heater core and put it back in the place it should be, near the passengers foot on the left.

Will need to find a digital camera but................

I think that would be a great idea Cy. I'll do the same with my standard ECU (assuming it's easy to reach), and we can go from there...

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
