Ok Guys,

i have followed the tutorial for the Idle adjustment and they said that there is an idle adjustment screw on the ECU.

I have a series 2 R33 and i just checked my ecu and there isnt any adjustment screws?

According to this thread i have the correct ECU part number, just wanted to make sure.

I have uploaded a pic of the part number and ecu for your reference... Anyone with technical advice i would much appreciate it.

Thanks..post-32501-0-96646100-1404692871_thumb.jpg

Well....... it wouldnt be the idle screw on the ECU if it has one, which I dont think it should

Thought that was more a thing on RB30's and maybe RB20's. I dont remember my stock ECU ever having an idle screw, but that was a while ago

If your boosting over 7psi with stock ECU chances are its the famous R&R. The ECU assumes a problem because of the higher then normally expected airflow and it cuts the ECU in some cases (mine used to do this) In other cases it just adds a heap of fuel and timing and doesnt really cause higher boost to necessarily create significantly more power

I understand the idle screw isnt causing my problem, however the car does idle erratically every blue moon so i figured id chase two problems at once.

It seems as though i do have the right ECU.

As for the famous R&R, i will lower my boost settings and see how i go.

Cheers for the replies buddy

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
