ok, so i plugged the nistuned z32 ecu back in and recorded the dash with aircon on and aircon off. I also recorded the standard ecu with aircon on and aircon off.

This is with the standard ecu plugged in

This is with the z32 ecu plugged in (note the exhaust temp lamp)

The idle with the z32 ecu in is higher and it was recorded second after i had already had the car idling for a minute or 2 on the standard ecu. With the air con on with the z32, the car doesnt sound like it does with the standard ecu.

I took the car for a spin with the z32 ecu plugged in and revved it out to about 5500rpm in second and third and it didnt stutter or go into limp mode at all. My consult display also shows no fault codes with the z32 ecu plugged in.

We put the Series 2 33 changes in based on information from another customer when they installed in their vehicle. The main problem is I dont have a S2 wiring diagram/pinout to compare against. Yeah I was thinking series 1.5 also

Anyway been going through their emails back from Aug 2010 and found this page (attached)

So pin 32 is the Exhaust Over Temp lamp on the S2 RB25. It connects to the Check Engine Light output on the Z32 ECU. So effectively your exhaust temp light is the check engine light output from the Z32 ECU now

Question now is what is the Check Engine Light output on the S2 RB25 pinout? I'll contact the customer who bought the NZ workshop manual and find out

In the video with the z32 plugged in and the a/c on the idle doesnt seem to go up a bit like the name fast idle control device dictates it should. Then, when its turned off it jumps up abit then settles again, so i dont know if the FICD is actually working or not.

On the pinout diagram for the z32 I cant even see exhaust temp lamp so I guess it doesnt use one and which ever pin is the r33 series 2 exhaust temp lamp on my loom is plugged in to something it perhaps shouldnt be on the z32 ecu and its turning the lamp on.

EDIT: Just read Matt from nistunes post above. Let me know when you hear back from them Matt.

I've got those diagrams above (link on second one broken)

www.gweeds.net/nismodore/rb25diagram.jpg

The ECU pinout from the same site has the Series 1 mappings for both lights

Series 1 uses

Pin 32 = Check engine light

Pin 33 = Exhaust temp light

which ever pin is the r33 series 2 exhaust temp lamp on my loom is plugged into something it shouldnt be on the z32 ecu and its turning the lamp on

Series 2 uses

Pin 32 = Exhaust temp light

Pin ?? = check engine light

Z32 ECU has no exhaust temp light output. Its Pin 32 output is 'check engine light' as previously posted

Series 1 uses

Pin 32 = Check engine light

Pin 33 = Exhaust temp light

Series 2 uses

Pin 32 = Exhaust temp light

Pin ?? = check engine light

Z32 ECU has no exhaust temp light output. Its Pin 32 output is 'check engine light' as previously posted

So essentially the exhaust temp light with the z32 ecu installed how it is at the moment is actually the check engine light?

If that is the case and the check engine light is now through the cat light disconnect the tps and check it to see if it's using the standard 1.

And if it was using the cat light why is it throwing the light with no codes, I reckon pull the plug for the cat sensor first and see where you stand.

I have no idea how to do this and dont really want to be pulling out wires etc as the car is also my daily and I will need it next week

You raise a good point about why the lights on with no codes, im only going off of what my ecu consult display from ecutalk.com says when I go into faults.

The good news is its easy and very quick to connect and disconnect the tps, you just look at the top of the motor and where the throttle butterfly is that moves when you push the accelerator peddle it has a small black box on the other side, you push in the little tab on the plug and pull the back half to release, it will log this as the fault code and display the dash light, you can clear that with consult after.

You are brave man ..! Or was the ECU tuned?

Also more on the topic, what is the colour of your Crank Angle Sensor?

(black housing, or metal?)

dont know what you mean? the only way i know of it working is the z32 ecu with the nistune daughter board running the standard ecr33 rb25det tune.

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
