R32 Gtst Computer Quick Question

i own a 93' r32 gtst, it has never missed a beat, on the long weekend we went down to canberra and as i entered canberra something started stuffing up it was popping and carying on and wouldnt rev over 5500rpm.

It was taken to an authorised nrma repaired and he couldnt put his fingure on the cause.

After towing the car home yesterday i have replaced coilpacks, spark plugs and i have an ignitor being posted to arrive on wednesday.

After replacing the coilpacks and plugs this problem still remains and i was talking to the mechanic and he seems to think it has something to do with the ecu as he cleared an ignition problem when my car was with him.

I was curious because he said it was a chipped ecu, and after replacing the other things i pulled it out just then myself.

It has a intec racing development sticker on the ecu and off the chip inside it has 3 wires coming out of the ecu with little connectores to join to 3 wires that lead somewere in my car these are out the other side of the ecu to were the plug side is.

What are these wires for and the wire colours are red, blue and white... What do you guys recomend? im on the verge of just buying a stock ecu and seeing what happens and how the car runs but if i do that what do i do with these 3 wires that lead somewere in my car as the stock ecu doesnt have these wires coming out will this effect the car if they arnt pluged into the ecu?

Let me know asap please.

ok i have traced the white, red and blue wires that lead out of the ecu, they are connected to a switch that was hiden under the dash the three wires are soldered onto the chip inside the ecu. i tried using the switch and changing the switch between the 2 (on /off) and its still the same im just thinking weather this on/off switch is for the chip and switching between the stock ecu mapping and the chip's mapping?

ok i just think i found the problem. the ignitor sitting ontop of the rocker cover i think is the problem. i just tried starting my car n it would crank then die crank a little more n die like it has a flat battery but it doesnt lol. i unplugged the ignitor tried starting it and the cranking of the engine was normal speed but obviously couldnt fire up cos i had the ignitor unpluged. then i pluged it back in and it started f*king up again when trying to start... my ignitor arrives wednesday so we will see then but im pritty sure its that from what i did but its very hard to explain what actually happens over the net

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
