Hi Guys, Can anyone tell me were the 4 wheel drive Computer is located , Also i have a waste spark coil setup of my previous R32 , RB20DET Engine, I want to fit it to my RB25DET Neo Engine, Has anyone got the wiring setup for fitting to the NEO Engine, Do you have to use the rb20det Igniter ?, Thanks your help will be appreciated, Jamind

I believe the 4wd ECU is under the centre console. That's one of the reasons it's so shallow.

Can't answer your second question, however. Is there a particular reason you're wanting to go wasted spark?

Atessa awd computer is in the boot left hand side wall in front of the opening compartment but before the strut tower. Makes it pretty hard to read the codes!!!!

Wasted spark for the RBs is history over here - new coils probably a better bet if you need them.

thanks for the help guys. My old rb20det engine had a miss, I pulled the coils out checked them and at lest 3 had the small cracks in them so they were leaking, So i bought a new waste spark with good leads, as the coil were 90 bucks each, any way at the same time i fitted a Apet ECU Chip to my computer, I started the engine checked the tune and took the car for a spin, Well f..... it freaked me how much power it had, The engine never missed a bet again, Well i sold the engine and keeped the waste spark. I am at the moment fitting a Stagea RS 4, RB25DET Neo to my car, i will run the coils that are in it but the first sing of a coil miss and the waste spark will be going in, So thats the reason thanks Guys

where do you get it from tho

i can't find anyone who even knows what it is

Try an electrical supplies shop or a marine supplies shop - you are just looking for a spray on insulator.

yeah start pulling shit off in the general direction of the inside of the back left quarter panel to find the ets ecu .its on the back of the piece of wall between the strut and the compartment (ish)

f**k what anyone says about wasted spark .they work good . if you wanna do it then do it . yes you will need an ignitor . one off any rb .follow the colours and wire the 6 signals to it then wire the ignitor to the coil like you did on the 20det . join up all the earths and the get some power where its needed and blah blah

It is a CRC product.

i've been to a few places that say they can get anything crc but all have a blank look when i tell them what its called

might have to keep looking, maybe i'll try jaycar for something next time in in there

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
