if it dose not make sense its because I was at work typing fast not to be caught lol.

I have a s1 c34 stagea and am looking to upgrade the ecu. I read hear a while ago that u could use a z32 ecu in the s1 so it could be nistuned. so I was after all the info on making it work. a guy hear in wa has a ecu but I not know if it can be plugged in to my existing loom. the stock ecu plug now is a grey plug

I have heard that story too but I don't know anyone who has done it. You are looking for an ECU from an auto Z32 but it is far from a simple job and as I say I am not even sure that it will work. You could try emailing Nistune as I am sure they would know about it if anyone has done it.

Sorry I don't know much about the Nistune options either, but I do know a Z32 ECU would be a full wire in job which is a bit of stuffing around. You may well need the z32 AFM as well but getting the ECU in and wired is the first trick.

or swapping pins. but I am still finding out. according to a few tuners hear the triptronic has its own module to control that. so he said u will just need to find out if the auto shifts the same still. the awd is not affected as long as the signals to the awd module are right

The only other time I have heard of a 34 ecu in a stage a was in a thread in forced induction. A guy from the UK had it done, and the trans wouldn't shift properly. And heaps of power was missing"

I can't remember exactly but the title had something to do with t2 turbo,as apparently that's what his tuner fitted....

Anyway I'm predicting this will be way harder than you think. 4bidn1 has done a neo conversion so would know a thing or two about the neo Ecu's hidden traps.

yer I am talking with a guy in the uk about his s1 that was running a r34gtt ecu. trying to get all the info. if I can get a r34 ecu for bugger all I will try what a tuner hear said. to plug it in swap the cas wires and see how it runs if it starts. then take it for a slow drive to see how the auto is. if none of that works will just look as a decent piggyback ecu

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
