Plugged in the nistuned z32 ecu today and the car seems to fine with it in, but the exhaust temp light on the dash is on as soon as the car is turned on.

I have a 96 gtst that I always thought was a series 2 which meant I didnt have to worry about the FICD pin on the z32 ecu being different to the s2 rb25det ecu.

Taken from the nistune website:

5) FICD output – pin 33

* Series 1 R33 only

The R33 Series 1 RB25 engine uses pin 33 for the Exhaust Overtemp Lamp on the dash.This line should be disconnected as the Z32 uses this line to drive the FICD (Fast Idle Control Device) – for idle up when aircon is on. FICD is driven seperately on the R33 Series 1 RB25 via the aircon system. Note that the R33 Series 2 RB25 does use the FICD the same as the Z32 ECU, so this modification is not required for those engines

Anyone know what might be causing the exhaust temp lamp to be coming on or If there was some series 1.5 r33's with series 2 bodies etc produced in early 96?

Yeah I been keeping track of your thread.

Sucks man shit never just simply works

Pretty glad I went with the R32 ECU now

Z32 ecu is going back to Matt at nistune today for further analysis/modification.

What's your work situation like this long weekend kasko?

Hotel work man f**ken sucks balls.

Want me to come around on Thursday we can have a look at the profec?

I set mine up and we can just go off my car.

Fuel pump I got DVS to do but there is a walk through on how to do it.

What pump did you buy?

Also do you know anyone with a soldering iron?

I got a nismo in tank so I think it's near identical to the stock setup.

Just had a thought about the profec, im guessing you gotta disconnect the stock boost solenoid, so will it be fine for me to still drive around with the profec b turned off just using wastegate spring pressure to control boost?

Is it even worth trying to install the profec without having the new turbo in?

My dad mau actually have a soldering iron but I'll have to check with him.

What clips/plugs will I need to setup the quick swap over?

I will take a photo of mine and send it to you.

Just go to Jaycar across the road from Wow sight and sound.

Cost me I think $4 a plug and you need 2.

My car already had the stock solenoid removed so was pretty straight forward swap.

I guess maybe leave that till the turbo is done because then you can hook up the actuator etc.

Did you buy a 3 inch intake?

Yeh, I was gonna do that with the turbo seeing as to put in the intake I gotta take out the intercooler pipes in the engine bay to get to it and that will have to be done for the turbo as well

In regards to the plugs for the afm, your stock one had 4 wires didn't it kasko? Which is the same as the z32 plug.

Mine is a series 2 which only has 3 wires (i belive its the same as an r34 afm) from what I can tell I have to put ground and signal ground into the same wire on the stock afm meter loom.

I already have a tomei plug with the 4 wires, so should I just get the exact same plug that's on my stock afm so the wires can be connected up to it and then just clip it to the afm loom?

Anyone with electrical wiring knowledge or someone who has fitted a z32 to their r33 s2 or r34?

    • 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?
