Hey SAU people,

Been stalking this forum for a few weeks now as i have recently purchased an R33 S1. I have read most of the diy and have done them. i.e. climate control diagnosis (due to problems but have figured it out) & have cleaned the acc and was resetting my idle (as it was idling way to high 1500rpm then only sometimes sit on 800-900rpm) and while i was there was going to do a ecu diagnosis & tps voltage set but a problem occured.

Before i start the main problem i have is that i bought a car that i dont know the history on, which is okay in my books because its my toy to play around on, pull apart and learn even more. All i know is that it had an engine swap about 4 months before i bought it with receipts to prove.

Cleaned the acc valve and connected it back up, now while i was resetting the idle via the idle screw on the acc with the tps disconnected i wound the screw all the way in and the idle was still on 1500rpm @ operating temp. So out came the ecu to look and adjust the idle screw on it, Nothing just two hole with no screws just chips and resistors down there... Okay hmm interesting, looked at the sticker on the ecu to see if it is genuine or aftermarket and i cant tell, on the sticker it says " Nissan genuine remanufactured electronic control unit ", (refer to pictures) now the thing that threw me was the word remanufactured on the sticker is this right?? So i thought to myself okay while i am at the ecu ill do a diagnostics test, okay where is the selector screw cant find the either. Great so stuff that off the set the tps then come back to it. So away i go probing the tps wires nothing coming up, okay multimeter stuffed? probe the battery up comes a reading, wtf is going on, it was getting late, so i decided to see something now i disconnected the tps plug, started the car still idling on 1500rpm. Took off expecting to stall nothing, everything was normal, took it around the block hit the limiter everything is the same with the tps disconnected. Pulled over on the side of the road and the idle came down to 700-650rpm because the idle screw is screwed nearly all the way in, cool its idling good now but why?. Turned the car off for 5 mintues started it again back up to 1500rpm took it for another thrash still idling at 1500rpm. Now wtf is going on??

The car is a 1993 R33 with hicas, abs & A-lsd, please refer to pictures for the questions below:

- Does s1 A-LSD models ecu look like this?

- Is this a standard genuine ecu?

- What is that orange button thing next the screw holding the harness in the ecu?

- Is it possible the engine swap was with a s2 engine with s2 sensor? are s2 sensors the same as s1?

- Shouldn't the car behave like a pig with the tps disconnected when throttle is applied?

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
