Hi all,

I have searched on this and Im sure its here I must just be blind?? wondering if someone has a link they can send me to a thread that im sure exists or tll me what the thread is called.

Basically I want to know if you can DIY check ECU fault codes on an R33 GTS-T series 2?

I made up a lflashing led for my old XR8 which you plugged into the diagnostic port and referenced the flashes against the manual to give the fault codes.

I would like to know if there is a similar process in the 33 and how it can be done or at least if there is a thread about this.

thanks!

That's how you do it on a RB20DET...

It's the same on an RB25DET except there is two lights.

The first light is the first digit the second light is the second digit.

ie. Light 1 (Blink = 1) Light 2 )Blink, Blink +2). So therefore you have 12 which is AFM.

the slightly more expensive way, but it is much easier to check the codes, as well as other things is with a consult cable. google ecutalk or contact newkleer on here. will set you back about $70 but it is simple and you can use the software to monitor things like o2 sensor, afm voltage, etc anytime you are having an issue. i have one and i love it. rarely use it but when i do it makes life much easier.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
