I have a series 1. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with changing the engine to a Neo with loom and ecu etc so it can be tuned without all of the piggy backs. Thanks. Justin

Not so simple as the Neo auto control is quite different. Much easier to convert to manual then you can use any ecu you like ( as I have done).

Or get a Greddy E-Manage - that's just one piggy back.

Well I have the manual box etc all ready to go. Doing that in the next couple of months. My main worry is the fuel economy. Im getting 17/100 have changed o2 with no difference. So after the manual is in which ecu did you change to?

Its all in my sig at the bottom of the page - Link G4

I changed my s1 to a neo and nistune, step 1 change to manual saves about 1/2 off the loom transfer, but still it's a bitch of a job loom has to be spliced to operate between s1 and s2 , as aircon, abs, altessa all have inputs and out puts running through Ecu , so it's quite a big wiring job even with out the auto and if you had to pay an elecy who knows what he is doing would charge over 1k ,

If your only reason for doing this is fuel economy don't bother, not going to make that much diffrence , . If not piggy back an emu or the likes to a s1, the only reason I changed to neo was it was the start for some moderate decent power, with a stronger engine and it was a step to where I heading now/next with my build I also wanted to run and tune with nistune much more economically viable for me ;) . You can just put a neo engine in swap the cas wires around and it will work but you will still have to piggy back onto original Ecu.this way you can still leave manual. I used and tuned my old e manage ultimate on my old auto s1 set up made 240kw on pump98 with an auto fuel pig though .

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
