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

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?

      Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
