My R33 S2 doesn't have lights on it's ECU either but at least mine doesn't have holes like the one you described. I haven't seen R33 Ecu having lights yet though. Most of the ECU i've seen are the concealed type.

You have to switch the car to the right diagnostic mode by shorting some terminals on the diagnostic plug. Its all in the workshop manual

That probably wont help with your stall issue, clean afm, aac etc. and go from there

ok after alot of messing about

i will finaly give you guys a way to do a diagnostic on an S2 with no lights on the eccs

first find the consult plug in the fuse bos next to the steering wheel as in pics

next remove the plug end and turn your car to the on position dont start it

get a paper clip and insert into only the holes shown for 2 seconds and remove

your engine check light should start to flash a series of codes

ECU Diagnostic Codes

11 Crankshaft position sensor

12 MAF sensor circuit (air flow meter)

13 Coolant temperature circuit

14 Vehicle speed sensor circuit

21 Ignition circuit

31 ECU (ouch!)

34 Knock sensor

43 Throttle position circuit

45 Injector leak

51 Ignition circuit

54 Auto signal to ECU

55 All OK

Turn the ignition off to put the ECU back to normal and clear all faults.

to check the o2 sensor follow the prompts above but dont tun the ignition off just start the car the check light will flash off for rich on for lean.

did the diagnostic test which worked perfrectly.... came upp with no. 12 afm prob.

my consult plaug didnt have the black plug connected in it, is just opened....

also are r33 s1 ecu identical with their terminal connector numbers as a r33 s2.

I need to check the continuity of terminal no. 26 & 27 which relate to the afm sensor wires.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
