Recently put a platinum pro plug in into my 260rs, sll is fine while car is running, turn ignition off and the ac relay comes on and stays on untill ignition goes back on

If i put the stsndard ecu back in problem goes away.

Any ideas on why this would be happening while everything is off?

Anyone else had simmilar issues?

Yes this is a common issue in r34. Because the ac has a hot feed from memory. I hvent had to fix one but i do know of it. Have a look at the link instruction manual. There is a section at the end that explains what to do

Ok this is what it says:

Back Feeding on R34 – On R34 GTR models the A/C relay is hot fed. This will cause a back feed that will drain the battery. The power supply to the A/C relay must be changed to an ignition switched source or Aux 3 (pin 9) disconnected from the ECU. It is possible to use the power supply to the injector ballast resistors as the feed for the A/C relays coil.

If i disconnect pin 9, will the ac still work?

There is a quick and easy fix for that. Just cut the wire and install a relay with a switched power from the ignition.

We can sort it out one night I you want, I'm pretty sure you wont want to swap cars so I can do it at work.

    • 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?
