So I got my car back form the mechanics today, RWC done...

Have it booked in tomorrow for the pits at vic roads.

Was playing around tonight with my techedge wideband controller and I possibly touched a wire to something I wasn't suppose to.

Long story short I fried the ecu.

Opened it up, smelt that blown up component smell.

Found the problem, now I just have to figure out what it was, Im thinking possibly a diode?

Then i need to replace it first thing tomorrow morning, hook it back up to the car and drive to vic roads.

Except I dont know what the component was!!

If anyone can look in there ECU for me, or knows what this is, or knows of a board schematic I will be extremely grateful.

EDIT: looking closely at it, it looks like its just a track that has burnt out and come up, if someone can confirm this i will just solder a jumper over the top.

it's toast dude, not worth fixing given that you can buy a stock ecu for $10 usually

find someone local in your state to loan you one for tomorrow

post in your local chapter offering free beer for a loan of a stock ecu

Looks to me like there was some kind of surface mount component there, Main power line? Possibly a diode? Was it floating around in the case or evaporated in a puff of smoke? Shame to ditch the whole ecu over a diode.

thats ok,i fixed it. Was just a track that was blown out. So soldered in a jumper and all good.

I dont care about the price (even though it was a free fix now)

The fact is the car is not registered and I have a vic roads appointment tomorrow for the car. Anyways like I said all good now.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
