hi there guys.

i just bought a z32 ECU - with nistune board - for my RB25det ( s13 conversion ).

all works perfect - but the vtc... it's not working :(:( with stock RB25 ECU it works fine.

can't figure it out.

what could cause that problem ?? any idea's ??

cheers guys.

how do you know the vct is not working?

when revving U can easily hear it "click" - from under the hood.

when stock ECU connected it works fine - dyno all fine

with z32 nistune board plugged in - it does not click :( and it's like 100Nm loss :(:(

Have you checked for power at the solenoid up the front?

Also, you can turn VCT on at idle and it should change revs noticably. Use the nistune software to do this, its an easy test

the power should be there ( on stock ECU it is ) ; ( it's triggered by negative from ECU )

how can i turn the vct on with nistune software ?? i'm new to nistune .....

i know you say it works on the stock ecu and not on the z32 nistune board

just check you have a working NTR switch, from memory, VCT (at least on the stock ecu) wont fire in neutral, the car must be in gear (clutch in)

never had problems with that - it was always cutting in when parked revving ( by hand from under the hood ).

none of the gearbox sensors connected - speed / reverse etc.

last time i checked - it was powered - by typing "should be there" i ment - it was there like an hour ago - last time i checked ;) no worries mate - i got your point ;)

but it still doesn't work :(:(

Think pin 113 in the ecu is VTC control power, check this with a test light when rpm is above 1500.

But as the guys said above if the ecu doesnt get all the signals required (speed and neutral/clutch switch) than it wont activate the solenoid.

Because u said dont have a speedo in ur s13 u should be able to go into nistune and set the minimum speed for vtc at 0 and try it

yeah - it is pin 113 - and no - there is no negative coming out of it :(:(

i can't see the option - " minimum speed for vtc " - only MAXIMUM hmmmmm

PS. Neutral switch - if not connected - the ECU thinks it's on gear all the time right ??

i thought pin 113 is a positive?

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
