I need some general info on replacing the ecu and how much this improves economy . Give us an rough cost involved for someone to replace it . I have a 01 250 t rs4 stock it could be a bit better on fuel knowing they are a thirsty car generally .A few other things while I'm on the forum for the people who are way more technical minded than me ; 4 wd light comes on intermittently ( dealer reset the comp and found no fault ). Auto trans , are the adjustable as the car kicks into second on slow turns into streets with normal driving and only wants to go into 1st if you really gas it ,it may just be the trait of the auto on these cars .

What is a quality muffler for these cars that resembles the factory twin tip ( mine sounds fine but only one seems to have any flow to it .

Lastly can u recommend a quality touring suspension upgrade and where in Adelaide would you trust to have a detailed check on the existing set up ?

Cheers Aappreciate any advice...

Can't wait till they start hammering those v8 nissans around clipsal !

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
