Hey all m35 Nismo ECU owners having an issue with the nismo ecu after install seems to idle really low and stall at the lights or sitting in traffic and has thrown a CEL.

Has anyone else had an issue with there nismo ecu idling low,stalling and throwing a code or any ideas on what the issue could be?

Cheers fellas

Have you done an idle air reset? Every car is different, if you've just thrown in a used ECU I'd suggest that it doesn't know that your car isn't set up for what its used to. I'd give that a whirl, procedure detailed here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/275099-m35-still-stalling-not-idling-properly/#entry4662009

Ok so I did idle learn reset and all other diagnostics I could but to no avail car is still stalling.

I took out throttle body, BOV, MAF and cleaned it all, still stalls when at a stand still or coasting under 1000k. Then I took the vacuumed line off the FPR and I didn't stall as quick but inevitably still stalls after about 30-40 seconds at a stand still. So I'm stumped as to what the issue could be. Maybe MAF maybe FPR?

I thought it weird that it idles better with the vac line off the FPR though.

Any more thought gents?

Yeah it was sweet before Scotty just put in the nismo ecu and it has started stalling. I'll change back to the OEM ecu tomorrow and see how it goes but not sure why the nismo would cause it.

It's from a highly regarded m35 owner on this forum. I'm sure he wouldn't be selling shit parts as it runs well just not that great when at a standstill. It's given more low to midrange torque speed limit cut and revs higher all is sweet except the idle.

Lol sorry mate didn't mean to sound like a dick!

I know brick was selling it and he's a top bloke. Did he have issues running it in his car? Think he said it was a bit rich...

When we do tunes on cars at work, whether it be a re-flash or a piggyback module, if they do what your car is doing, we always send the tuning file back and keep trying till we get a good one, or we send the module back under warranty. The point I was trying to make was, if you changed absolutely nothing else on your car except the nismo ecu and it started stalling, it's very likely an ecu problem.

Get an emanage on it, at least that way you can adjust the fuel.

No point adjusting the idle screw on an electronically controlled car. You need a consult 3 to set the idle properly, but if the AFR's are out it won't help.

Hey scotty, does that mean a nissan dealer would be able to adjust the idle?

ECU may have run well on the sellers car but is yours exactly the same configuration... exhaust, intake, turbo etc?

Most probably. As long as the map is suited. If it's overfuelling then a throttle re-learn won't help much.

All good dave I didn't take it as an attack. Lol

Brick was running a touch rich but was still running rich with the OEM ECU still in after. It runs ok with the vac line off the FPR which I thought was wired and not sure why that is but any ideas on that would be helpful.

Scotty I plan to go down the route of an emanage just saving up for it need to pay a few parking fines first lol.

I plan to take it to Nissan on Friday and see if they can adjust the idle through the consult. Otherwise I guess I just have to learn to have a aware right foot and manually keep the revs up where they need to be till an emanage can be sourced fitted and tuned!

But brick all idle issues aside cheers for the ecu and enjoying the better low to mid range torque and repsonse it gives!!! Thumbs up mate!!

So it's running lean at idle then... Taking the vac line off at idle would richen it up I think. Perhaps it was just setup with an adjustable fuel reg initially...

I would be getting it on a dyno before anything else... Perhaps with an adjustable reg in place so you have some control over mixtures. Otherwise, go back to the stock ecu until you have the Emanage installed.

It's unusual, I would have thought the o2 sensor would have sorted it out, it must be a fair way out...

So I couldn't get the car to Nissan today as worked dragged on. In the mean time I'll get my hand on a nismo FPR and gauge to adjust the pressure. What should the stock pressure be for the fuel? Is it around 30-40PSI? From memory.

I spoke to a few dyno places a while back and said they can't dyno tune my car as they don't have a suitable harness for it? Would that be the case as I thought there OBDII and most can connect to that.

Seems to have some hesitation when accelerating hard now aswel feels like air cut!? Weird!!

Cheers for the advice guys.

If no luck with Nissan and a dyno tune I'll just have to go back to OEM and wait for the emanage to get it all sorted.

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
