What if I don't want to unplug the battery lead?

it's far easier than shorting out your wiring harness, causing a fire, and watching your pride and joy burn to the ground.

ok maybe i'm exaggerating, but seriously.. taking the battery terminal off is by far the easiest way.

I personally do not feel comfortable wiht the shorting the pin method, because I have not read that in any of my nissan manuals (someone correct me if I'm wrong, because the indexing of the manuals is very bad).

Disconnecting the battery seems to work sometimes if it's disconnected for a long period of time but I hate losing my radio stations.

Nowadays, I just use my laptop to do it. I can reset the ecu and clear the self learn.

correct me if i'm wrong....and i know this is a long standing debate...but resetting the ecu does sweet fuuck all....apart from clearing your error codes.

the ecu learns everytime the car is switch back on. it doesnt have the capacity for long term memory of the parameters you're hoping to 're-learn'.

ive been told this by tuners, and other ppl who have technical knowledge of ecu's. and it makes total sense.

why would the ecu restrict its ability to adapt to new situations, and only work at its best when ppl with 'supposedly' inside information decide to disconnect their battery.

ive tried it, made no difference at all.

It made a difference to my car..

How?

Well it doesnt run as rich anymore..

It doesnt smell as much of exhaust fumes due to the car not running as rich..

The car actually felt a lot better once it was reset..

For me it worked. Gettin more milage.

Remember to dc the alarm.. Otherwise you gonna go deaf like me lol when you dc the battery..

And yup your headunit settings will be reset.

I thought the wires to be shorted were on the ecu, not the fuse box.

Resetting mine didn't do anything either.. Wouldn't the ecu just be set up to react to current environments and not remember the way the weather and your driving has been for the last 6 months.. That seem's the logical way to set it up to me :(

BTW, can I use nissan data scan to reset the ecu?

Reading here: http://202.43.226.57/

Last item on point 4 "clear self learn", that is the one isn't it?

(maybe I'll build one and have more fun with the car :stupid: )

i thought that the ecu would adjust itself to new mods quicker if you clear it, as it would adjust in large increments when first trying to learn, then smaller and smaller as it gets closer to optimum. when you change something tho, it has to use these tiny increments to get to the new optimum running...

so reset it and it starts off big again

thats my lil story :(

I don't know about data scan. Its not my favourite consult software. My software can result the ecu itself as well as the self learn.

What are you using dude? At the moment I'm using ECU Talk, but I'm interested in whatever does the best job.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
