Anyone down in Wollongong with an R33 S1 Manual? Could even be S2, not sure if the ECU's are interchangeable, but...

I'm after a stock ECU to plug in and test, just need to check if it works, you can have it back straight away. :3

Currently running a Power FC, but need to test out with a stock one that I know works.

I've got one at home, but to be honest I think it's ratshit, plugged it in and when I turned the key to ON, the HICAS system just whirred like a bitch constantly, the AVCR lights would come on (as usual) then off, then back on solid, and I can't get the car to kick over when I turn the key.

Anyone who can help would be hugely appreciated, if you're able to help please PM me. Thanks!

what does it do with the fc for a start? i have one here in campbelltown im not using

The PFC, you turn it over, works fine. No HICAS whine, AVCR lights up fine, kicks over first time. Reason I'm taking it out is for fuel economy and cash, I don't have the money to get it tuned (it's a hand-tune at the moment, farking terrible). Also lumps at traffic lights, yay for hunting. All in all the car still goes, I just want no lumping, good fuel economy, and back open to 7k RPM. Without spending moneh on a tune. :P

Hey mate - It may be worthwhile calling bezerkly - they mod heaps of skylines and may have a spare ecu hanging around.

tell them Jase sent you.

Might do that, the only problem being that I work all week including Saturdays, makes it kinda hard to see the guys there. I know they do great work; a mate's S15 Autech went there for a service, was awesome. I'll give them a call anyway and see what I can organise.

How did it go owen?

Yeah, she's goin good. Still idling a bit high every now and then; I turn on the car, she'll idle at 1400 or so, take her for a drive and it'll idle at 850 when I get home. I think the turbo is making a bit of an odd sound at WOT in 2nd, but that's to be expected; I've gotta get it all checked out. All in all, fuel econ seems heaps better, I hit 220 before the gauge started coming down instead of the usual 170. :D

GOOD NEWS! let me know if you need anything else i have a lot of crap here lol.

you could try checking the aac, there a re a few threads in the diy section. im not sure its the problem though, and would try adjusting the idle as nissan intended first especially seeing as how you've played with the thing

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
