hay every one,

2 quick quistion is it true if you get a aftermarket computer,pfc/heltec/motec/ems/ect,ect,ectin the r34

do you loose the function with the :Traction Control

I ask cos i got a new ecu put in,then he told that i will loose this function

an also the engin light,the tcs,an the slip lights in the dash permanently stays on

is this right or have i been screwed an he has'nt done it right

also now it takes about 4-7 sec to even start,

were as before it turnd over straight away.an when it does start the frist three sec it sound like its going to stall

after that it goes to 1500 revs until it warms up then drops to 900 revs

does it sound like he has'nt tuned if properly

thanks

did you get a new ecu or just a chip? I got a chip & tune done in my R34, and NOT a problem in the world with TCS or start up. take it to get looked at by a new workshop and a new tune. may make ur car run better & they may find the reason why ur TCS isen't working. and the slip light woulod be shitting me off if it stayed on.

"IF" the ecu has stuffed with the TCS and wont work again, get some wire snips and cut the wire to the Slip light asap. haha

Where'd you get yours chipped if I may ask?

Sounds like a few minor issues. I doubt TCS will work as the stinger doesnt appear to support it. You may have idle issues.

Why dont you ask the shop why it doesnt start up as fast as before and why the lights are always on? If you did then what did they say?

you have to check if the ECU has Plug N play base map on it. If you use chip in your stock ECU or aftermarket with plug N play such as PFC, then the should work fine...

My guess is your car is tuned with ECU which does not have a base map, the ignition delay is caused by poor cold start tune. It is easier to tune while engine is hot and running however cold start is tricky, as by the time the tuner got the approximately right tuning, the engine would have been warm. Then to wait for the car to cool down again takes 2-3 hours, which I highly doupt the tuner will put the car back on the dyno.

This is also consistent with your idling problem, sometimes if the tune is not done properly the car will actually stalls on its own, you got to give it a bit of fuel... you won't have this problem once engine is warm no?

Hmmmmmm, sounds just like the problem I had when I had a Microtech installed. No AFM causes heaps of things to not function as they should. Changed to a PFC with a Z32 AFM and bingo all is good again. Does yours still have the AFM?

it may be that the TCS/ABS computer required signals from the ECU , such as TPS . This is similar to how the auto works .

This means those signals must be replicated by the ecu (which the r34 pfc would do) or you may be able to bridge the sensor outputs required for TCS . this is often how other ecus such as motecs and autronics are installed to work with tricky features like traction control , automatic gearboxes , stability control etc

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
