didnt get a chance today,mate has my timing light'

but could anyone tell me what these ecu's are please'---

p6

23710 21u13

mec-r533 a1 4803

other is>

mec-r630 a2 car was bought with first one in it, now runing second 1 as told was maped for higher boost and boost cut taken off so on,but i dout it,,they both run the same., never use to cut out,

The consult data shouldn't move, this is the ecu tuned idle timing,

because the timing in the ecu can't be adjusted you need to set the engine timing to exactly what the ecu timing shows.

the reason for this is the engine has been tuned from factory with the engine timing at 20 (at idle)

so as the rpm increases and load increases the ecu reads off its factory tuned map.

but if the timing is not set to the factory engine timing then the motor ecu will be running too much or too little timing depending which way the timing is set (advanced or retarded).

-if its retarded then the engine performance will be low

-if its advanced there is a chance the engine may ping or detonate causing engine failure.

ok, follow these steps

1. unbolt number 1 coilpack from its cradle but leave it plugged in to the loom

2. get an old spark plug lead and put it between the coilpack and the spark plug, you may need to shove something conductive in the end of the coilpack to bridge the gap between the spring and the lead

3. hook the timing light onto the spark plug lead

4. start the car and make sure your getting spark to cyl 1 (timing light should flash)

5. plug your consult thingy in and see what timing its displaying (in that pic its 20)

6. adjust the cas until the timing on the crank is the same as the timing displayed in consult, if its 20 then you want to line it up with the 3rd mark from the right on the balancer. turning the cas clockwise retards timing and anticlockwise advances it

thanks guys, but i know all this stuff , just wondering why it sits on 20degrees at idle timing,dvs32r u say its factory? i just thought it should read 15.as i plug into sr20 and it reads 15. i can change to -15 but carnt burn to ecu,as its stock ecu. change in test mode and motor sounds like it should.

    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
