in the pursuit of getting better fuel economy out of my gtr i have discovered that my gtr is running a r33 ECU using a harness that changes all the pinouts so it can run. When connecting a factory r34 gtr ECU... the car will not turn over... figured the problem would be the NATS system. have taken the car too northside nissian to try and get the new ecu too consult with the keys, but no success.

have also tried Power FC yet having the same problem of not being able to get it too turn over.

have also tried using a r32gtr ecu and was able to get it running on that using the harness.

Was able to get a r34gtr Mines ecu running (for a second) on the factory ecu harness by removing the pinout "recieve control unit data reception", but engine was cut after turning over.

Basically stuck for answers as to why the factory components of this car arent working, and just want to get it running on the either the factory r34 ecu or the power fc. otherwise my only option will be a nistune r32 ecu.

help appreciated

Using the correct FC. 414an028. gtr BNR34.

Pretty sure its a issue with the NATs system, and the the 33 ecu is being used because it does not require communication with NATs to run. just cant figure what exactley is the problem.

Believe the CAS wiring was changed around. I havent worked with the R34 GTR computers first hand but some workshops have run R34 GTR with R32 GTR ECU (to use nistune board)

NATS is contained within the ECU itself. It just receives a signal from the IMMU with the key code and determines if a match (or not)

Not sure about the coilpacks. Would think that it wouldn't make too much difference...?

Also have thought about the Crank angle sensors. Pins may have been swapped. I will give it a check. But because the r33 ecu is using a loom from the factory plug to the Ecu... I would think the there wires would be switched in that.

Also pretty sure there is a unit for the NATS in between the ignition and the ecu.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
