HI All,

As title states I bought a r33 gtsts manual conversion and it came with this ecu, Not that I plan to use it was just a bonus thrown in but I am interested if anyone can identify it the blue heat sink looks to be either not original or someone has played with it or just Nissan are shoddy with there work.

Has very neat hole cut in it but from my knowledge if a nistune board has been fitted it is the aux board that the interface clips into not where it has been cut to expose the lower board pin like this one has.

Anyway if anyone can shed some light from the part numbers ect I am more curious as the guy I bought the conversion of is adamant the car went (he has no reason to lie as I bought gearbox not engine or ecu) and it looks nothing like my r33 one when I opened that up.

Cheers lads and ladets

Thanks for that GTSboy it has me miffed as a lot of it looks identical to mine when I opened it up but the alloy side bit has a hole in it with a + and - and hole that looks like you turn a dial but in the ecu on the card there is nothing to turn.

Well anyone else able to help me with what I have ?

If there's a screwdriver hole with +/- on it then it is possibly a case (at least the bottom of the case, not the lid) from an earlier ECU. That was the idle speed adjustment on R32ish era stuff. I don't know if it was still there on R33 ECUs because I haven't really played with them (why would I? They're only good for paperweights!).

cheers

na it doesn't have it on my 33 ecu I am mainly curious as to why there is the cut out like you can hook up to it as its in the wrong spot for anything I am familiar with.

I also did a google images of Z32 240sx and r32 stuff and it doesn't match any images I could find the car it came of was fairly stock as in still had low mount manifold ect so I cant see why it would have any weird ecu in it

Well the plot thickens I figured if anyone knew what it was itd be the guys at Nistune Matt confirmed the sticker same as GTSboy and that the case witht he + - same but the inside he had NFI and stated he had never seen anything like it before it actually runs the car all be it rough as I have a few mods that a stock ecu would run rough on to.

SOOOOO now that even the experts don't know what it is I actually care and want to know (yes curious) before I throw it out lol

Got a 6 pack riding on an answer will drop of to anyone local to me 3804 and I mean local not a hour each way

Yea HR32 you were in first with right answer, I figured it out the night I posted this up as I removed back of the cover and it was just written there it is a link g1 gts ecu ive checked numbers and she is fully programmable.

I am however looking for a link serial link so i can play with this on me dyno so if any of you have one sing out i only want to borrow it so i can copy it and return.

Sorry everyone but no chance id throw this little gem away and the best part was i got it thrown in with a manual conversion i purchased and the guy said and i quote "here you can have the ecu its got a hole in it f**k knows what that's about" i knew there was something about it one doesn't just cut a hole in there ecu

On a different note Matt aka HR32GTS where are you located as i may have to drop a sixer of as a promise is a promise.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
