Hey all,

apparetly my ECU in my car has failed froma common fault. Im not overly convinced that it can simply break like this for no reason at all. and before being played into buying a haltech, i was wondering if anyone out there with a r34 auto turbo will be willing to lend me their ecu to fit into my car and to see if things work out fine. ( really dont want to spend 2200 bucks unless i have to)

im willing to pay to borrow it, if no one is trusting enough :)

sorta need asap

thanks guys

Bryn

What's it done? Not shifting properly? Depending on the issue, a manual ECU might be ok for testing, unless you need to actually drive it to test the problem. I can't help you either way unfortunately but it might widen your options a little :ninja:

Bryn, you're welcome to borrow mine. I obviously need my car during normal work hours, but if you're able to work something out around that, I'm fine with it.

You'll have to come pull it out though. Hell, I need to do an oil change soon, so I'll just do that while you're off playing with the ECU.

Yeah my ECU isn't so stock anymore so is no use.....but Marc is correct you can put the manual one in and everything will work A-OK except you'll be stuck in 3rd

I don't understand why the GTt isn't like the N/A model and has the auto-shift computer built into the actual car not the ECU :S

So who told you about the "common fault" I've never heard of anything go with the R34 ECU's ever, ever, ever....maybe we can diagnose via the internets for you? :thumbsup:

Try calling Markimak or his brother, they've got the ECU from the stacked R34 that they could lend as far as I know, linky, linky

hey, the common fault is that the ignition section of my ECU has failed. so i got warning lights on the dsah and dirty missfiring.

Hacker X thanks for the offer,, sadly my car is at the mechanics still, so they are only open during the hours ya need ya car.

Ill message markimark and see if i he can help me.

thanks

Sure it's just not the coilpacks???? That's the common fault with R34's not the ECU side of the ignition

apparently they checked all that, and after looking at it they determined that the ecu was giving out the wrong stuff as were random or something (im not very good at technical shit)

the only reason i knew something was wrong was i had the traction control, slip and engine warning light on, they said that the traction control system was turning itself of as it couldnt get a correct reading from the ecu or throttle or something.

:thumbsup: markimark is out of country)

Can you PM me the workshop so I may pass judgment :ermm:

mine was turning on the same lights. no missfire, ran fine. was setting i think code 24 - igntion signal primary.

i suspected faulty igniter in one coil causing incorrect feedback to ecu, setting fault code.

new set of splitfires, no more lights & idles smoother.

Yeah exactly why I think it's been misdiagnosed as the ECU...the packs are 1000000 times more likely to fail and brings up all of the other lights as it causes the sub-systems to fail at the same time.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
