i changed the ecu with the auto one now i have power and reds on thr dash but car kranks but wont start now i think it might have something to do with neutral switch does anyone no where to bridge this or what is stopping it from starting???

also i have had a thought that when the clutch fan ceased could it have caused some error code not sure which one but maybe this is what causeing my timing retarding i have since reset it and diagnosed it so hopefuly it comes good

Sound like your clutch is slipping.

If what you said in the first post i correct - gets to 5k Rpm then just starts dead revving - thats the clutch slipping...

Maybe im missing something, the reason it wont do it 1st run out is because it has had time to cool down...

the clutch was done a month before i got the car its and excedy cushion button clutch also does not explain the error code

dont get me wrong the clutch sliping could be a posibility but normally with clutch slip your revs will go up because the engine cannont transfer power thru the box to the wheels

now when i say dead reving i mean the car keeps reving but the reving slows down and you can feel the power drop off

By dead revving I thought you meant revving but not making power?

Do you mean that it won't rev past 5500 rpm? like it hits wall?

its like when you go past redline the car continues to rev but the power starts to drop off and with this comesa the boost creep its like the timing is being retarded

i tried putting just an\ auto ecu but it wouldn start my car and i dont no why unless there is a neutral switch that has to be bridged but being a factory manual you would think it wouldn have one???

alright i just put a manual ecu in and the problem is still there but its a lot less noticble althought i think it has something to do with the aggresive ness of the timing of the mines ecu does anyone no if the knock sensors can be cleaned or something

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
