Hello all, my first post here. I searched my questions for a few hours, Im hoping this isnt going to be repetative, I tried my best to make sure it isnt. I have a few questions in regards to the ECU's (ECCS) found in 89-90 model year R32 GTS-T and GTR's.

First question, I have learned there are 3 types of computers found in Skyline's. I was wondering which of the 3 are in the models I mentioned? The 3 I have read about are as follows: First type has two LEDs and five modes, second type has one LED and two modes and the thrid type has no LEDs, the output is done with the engine check light in the instrument cluster acting as a single LED ECU.

For the two turbo R32's, what sort of standalone systems are out there that offer relative ease of use. As plug-in play as possible. I know this has been discussed before, but Im still a bit lost. Does Apexi make a PFC, or can one from another engine be adapted? How programmable is the factory ECU? At what levels of power and modifications should a standalone be considered for the RB20DET?

My next question, how difficult is it to find a good used (or new if I can get it still) Electronic System Diagnosis Tester, in English if possible. I noticed there is a number in the R32 GTR service manual, EG1180-0000, would this be a Nissan part number? Is this devise compatiable with all RB ECCS's? And lastly, anybody have a clue roughly what this would cost new and or used?

My last question is in regards to the ATTESA and HICAS control moduals. I have yet to find this in the manual, but does anybody know the pin out wiring diagrams for these two?

Thank you much for any help!!

At what levels of power and modifications should a standalone be considered
When your budget allows for it basically. The factory maps can nearly always be improved upon by an experienced tuner - every car of the same type leaves the factory with identical ECU maps, but each will have slightly different engine characteristics. This'll be exaggerated even more when you start doing exhausts/pods/boost or more, which takes the engine further and further from what the ECU was originally programmed for.

In a nutshell: You will more than likely gain power from a programmable ECU even in a stock car, particularly earlier models, but they really come into their own once you've started modifying.

R32 ECU is reprogrammable, but by the sounds there wouldnt be too many workshops that know how to do this?

There is a power fc for R32 plugs straight in and comes preloaded with a base map so you can start and run the car without dramas.

The only Nissan consult I have seen cost the guy around $7K AUD second hand, so he told me.

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
