Hi all,

Ive got a series 2 r33 gtst running with an rb20 remapped ecu. My AAC has been disconnected (was like that when i got it) ive been told this doesnt work with the remapped ecu and is the cause of my idle hunting issues...so was wondering if was one can offer any advice or at least confirm that this is true.

Cheers,

Lucas.

Thanks for the responses guys :(

So am i right in saying, basically the short answer is the R32 ecu that i have will give me fail idle unless i get a new Z32 ecu remapped to work with R33? How much is something like that going to cost me?

cheers,

Lucas.

The AAC does work with Remap but as you have R32 ECU you have no VVT , Ive seen some Dodgy Perth tuners ground the VVT so its on full time causing shit Idle and lack top end power. R33s need to use Z32 ECUs with remap.

DOn't waste your time with a Z32 ECU, or even RB20DET ecus

You can buy nistune off their website, nisstune.com it's $440 for R33 ECUs, solder yourself or pay a sparky to do it

thats not nistune, its a remap.

from the nistune website-

Note ECR33 RB25DET Skyline can use Z32 VG30DETT ECU with minor wire swapover

We are thinknig about doing a board for R33 RB25DE/RB25DET but it involves a fair amount of work, and the parts to interface with the existing 84 pin MCU on this ECU. It is a very difficult board to get started on and requires whole new firmware code to be implemented, whilst supporting customers with our existing product line. I will start drafting schematics once Type 5 has been finished and we have got the knock sensing functionality working.

If you are looking for something to get these going then we suggest either using a HCR32 Skyline or Z32 300ZX ECU with a Type 2 board. See our FAQ topics for more information regarding these ECUs.

Your other option, if you really want to use the R33 ECU is to use an emulator with an expensive third party daughter board (pictured above) available from Sam at

Cheers guys, i really appreciate the help. Ill be sure to look into this further when i can afford to upgrade my current setup :thumbsup: but for now i guess ill just have to live with the occasional idle hunting.

Thanks again to all who gave their input.

Lucas.

with remap you have to tune every time you do new moods but nisstune can be updated all time

like others said z32 ecu for r33

If you change mods(eg;change to big turbo) you need tune again.

Its same remap and nistune.

nistune updata means change map.

If you go to tune shop for change map you have pay to each time.

nistune saling software and board.

Board is no need emulator but its same remap nissan ecu.

Im using R33 doughter board(not nistune made) and nistune softwear.

nistune is not same power fc , motec , FCONV.

Its same nissan ecu remap.

No what people are saying is that you can get a good idle with the nistune chipped ECU, you have unplugged the AAC thinking that the chiped ECU can't control i with this isn;t the case, the chipped ECU can control the AAC so plug it in and get a tuner that can do their job.

People were saying that you will lose the VTC with the rb20 32 ECU which is the case, but with the VG30 ecu you will retain the VTC. From what i have heard about the VG30 ecu's is that there are a few pins that have to be swapped though to make it work with the RB25 Loom.

your confused, you need another board that NISTUNE DONT sell, but you can use thier software to to tune it. Sam @ DRDRIFT brings in his own boards and then uses nistune to map it.

Do you offer a similar service for rb25det or z32 ecu Trent?

Looking to trailer my car to you when the motor build is finished

Im happy to do the Z32 ecu swap but personally i dont use the high cost r33 boards ( i just use PFC, LINK or HALTECH etc)

Sam @ DRDRiFT is the only reputable shop using the R33 boards, im sure he keeps good stock if you need to go that route.

Are these any z32 ecus? does it matter if its from an auto/manual/turbo/non-turbo? from any particular year?

thanks

the later the better, as they are a better ecu. turbo or NA no big deal.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
