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

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
