ECU Q's.

[Bigchuckers]

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!!

Noody can help this poor Canuck out ?? :Oops:

Do you need to find out what EG1180-0000 is? I can possibly find out

Yes please and thank you very much, that would be great

There's no1 in CA that can re-map your factory ECU?

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.

I will try and find out what EG1180-0000 is

you can get a software version of the nissan consult from tt-zed.com they do a product called conzult. around $600 aud for serial cable to consult plug with software

Conzult can only be used on 300zx and some 4 cylinder Nissans.

i believe simon released a new version conzult sx and it works on rb25's. so i recall anyway, could be wrong.
