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 :)

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
