hey guys, can anyone tell me if the R33 GTST S1 and S2 ecu's are interchangable?

i've tried searching but have found mixed answers.

i know there are ignition differences to take into account - ie S2's do not use the ignitor mounted on top of the motor + different coilpacks etc. But will this matter if say i threw a S2 ECU in my S1?

any help is appreciated!

>_<

i hope mine wont have to sit that high?

is there any reason why it is?

well it might have to sit that high because in that pic it's already sruggling to get any lower!

but i don't see why a s1 and s2 ecu is different! as long as they have the same plug/loom and the mapping should be the same!

i would say it doest matter here is why

it doesnt matter where the spark is located its the timing that need to be the same

if it really matters that much to you i have a S1 ecu

thankyou

edit - yeah I will ask him, cheers steve.

theres nothing wrong with my s1 ecu, i've just got my eyes on an aftermarket ecu suited to s2.

Haha, don't tell me you were the dude in the black 33? I was in the silver V35 just leaving his place :(

LOL! Yeah that was me, sorry for parking where I did and making it hard for you to get out of there.

@ Steve - I don't think it's that expensive at all. I've seen the quality now and frankly I'd say it's actually a bargain for that quality in SS. >_<

well i sold my work rims a while back! the black ones with the red lip and i've got a new set. buddyclubs with the same sort of look, black with the red lip because i really wasn't too happy with other looks so i went back to what i was happy with

:laugh: Not a worry mate, small world eh?

Andrews stuff is indeed quality, you WON'T be disappointed! What did you get made up?

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
