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

sounds like your stock one is cooked then. i cant think oif any reason y it wouldnt ar all when the fc does. its usually the other way around

well if you want to come up and try, thats fine im happy to sell it too. but im not driving down there :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

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
