Vct Controller Rb25 Neo?

Hey guys,

long story short, I've got an R32 with an RB25 NEO in it.

The R34 ECU is nistuned but VCT won't work because the speed signal from the R32 dash is incompatible with the R34 ecu (VCT NEEDS a speed signal to work with nistune).

So I was wondering if a VCT controller will work the same as people who use nistuned R32 ECU's with R33 RB25's?

What is the most common type of vct controller people use? I've never seen one before only heard about them.

OR

How do I go about getting an R34 speed signal to the ECU? Buy an R34 dash and remove the speedo and bush mechanics it into my dash?

Thanks

A "window switch" is a controller that switches as per a defined "window". If you just used an RPM switch to say turn VCT on at 1200rpm and off at 5400rpm, then it wouldn't turn back on until you were below 1200rpm and then rose to 1200rpm again. The "window" switch turns it on whenever the range is within the defined "window".

So why is the speed signal incompatible with the R34 ECU? have you asked the guys at NIStune?

Another thought is, I can't remember if you can change the cut in speed for VCT (I know you can change the cut in temp and the rpm range), if you can then change it to 0.. I will have a look this arvo if I get a chance (don't bring my NIStune laptop to work unfortunately :P)

Ah lol... comprehension fail. I read it as a window switch... literally. Like the thing in your door lol. I was thinking to myself why the hell would anyone control that manually.

Apparently the R32 speed signal is a square pulse and the R34 speed signal is a much quicker wave. Emailed Nistune and PLMS... PLMS might have a board that sends a fake speed signal 24/7 (works with SR20's he's going to try it with an R34 ecu).

Let me know if you get around to having a look at it :)

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
