Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Mike

Mike,

I have a english translated series 2 stagea pin out diagram if that will help. Note, it is not the r34 that floats around on the forums. I will have email to you as it is against forum rules to post up here. You may already know this, but apparently there is 3 different series 1 ecu's with different pin outs.

Mike - good to see some actual results of testing done on this

Darrin if you can send it my way also enquiries[at]nistune.com also it would be appreciated as I would be interested in the differences between the wiring. i've wired up for ER34 on the bench for basic inputs but can test other inputs/outputs when i get free time. I've got on the list to probe the boost solenoid output to see how that gets controlled by the ECU

I have a series 2 stagea. Was a auto, but I converted to a manual. I was running a r34 power Fc for a while with the only issue, which is the same as the factory manual stagea's, the engine check light comes on due to the AWD stagea Rb25 does not have traction control. It is a simple fix, but not too important.

So I see no reason the Nistune ecu should not work in my case.

I plan to get a Nistune board soon as I no longer have the power Fc fitted.

guys be careful not to confuse the two types of ECU.... you wouldnt want to be trying to rewire in a Z32/R32 ECU with the different (blue) connector

why wouldn't this work. if you could manage to get/make a plug adapter, to go from blue type to grey type. or just cut the old plug off and join the blue type on, it wouldn't be that big of a deal would it?

Mike - Thanks for the offer. Series2 are confirmed working no problems with Type 4 board however Series1 we just cant do. Its similar to the Hitachi R33 RB25 computer with no easy provision for external daughterboard (so we recommend Z32 ECU with rewire since its more cost effective)

QWK32- If you wire in a Z32/R32 ECU you wont have any transmission or boost control in these ECUs for the Stagea like the WC34 ECUs have

so... rumour has it... Z32 Computer in your s1... (na turbo what doesnt matter)

get some pins changed over and the board soldered in and it works apparently...

dont ask how it works etc coz i dont no... the dude that braught my 260 has told me it is possible, his best mate actualy made nistune!

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
