Hi all,

I'm just not used to this level of tech.

I'd like to reset my ECU but am not 100%

on the location of the battery.

IE when i open the bonnet I'm pretty certain its the black boc where a bunch of fuses seem to be just behid the window washer container.

I'm assuming that I would just disconnect both the red terminals on the side closest to the engine and that would disconnect the battery?

Please pity and help the skyline noob :uh-huh:

when you disconnect the battery, I would recommend you only take off the negative lead (black one with a "-" on the battery). I've heard that sometimes if you take the positive line off, and have bad connections somewhere in the car, then reconnect it it can blow fuses and even more important things like stereo, ECU, etc...

Just a suggestion, could be wrong...

I see the question "where's the battery?" and i think to myself.....

WHAT THE F^%K???????????

Mate....if you dont know where a battery is.....just give up now. Don't even bother attempting to drive that thing, coz it ain't for you.

There's your answer to where the battery is.

yeah that's harsh.

on another note, the battery in the back is a hinderance and i presume is only cos they couldn't fit it in the front. because the battery is in the back, you can't fold down the rear seats like in an S15 (or in pretty much any other given car) which really kills the ability to move anything large.

Hey dude,

unless u can honestly say u know of every nut and bolt in a skyline, dont go ard blasting others abt what they dont know.

Im pretty sure you wouldnt like such a reply if u posted a question abt sumthing u didnt know either.....

Don't be a tool, thanks for stopping by don't let the door hit your ass on the way out...

Well done Squizz, couldn't have said it better myself...

On another note:

The reason for only disconnecting the negative terminal is because if a spark does occur when you are reconnecting (due to some sort of fault discharge), the spark will occur on the ground side of devices (eg ecu), not on the positive.

This means that a discharge will flow from the device to a solid earth as opposed to a positive terminal disconnection where the fault occurs from the + terminal through the device.

Hope this makes sense, I read that somewhere...

Thanks for the info Baboon.

Not sure about any differences yet. After I first start my car is goes to about 1200rpm then settles itself down, even when hot outside. I think this is normal though.

I also notice that when the car is idling it seems to ossilate the revs till it finds a nice idle ie round 700rpm. Mostly the first time you stop at lights for eg.

I have noticed that I drove from Chermside (Northside Bris) to Lismore (NE NSW) on about 1/2 tank - I thought that was pretty good.

As far as i can tell the engine is in nice tune the engine is quiet, no leaks and the exhaust is a nice black. The car seems to rev out freely with no flat spots noticeable. Although I havent taken it to its limit yet - been wet in Bris lately I dont wanna kiss a telegraph pole...

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
