I have a 89 skyline gts-t. I drove it for a couple weeks and i was having problems with what seemed to be fuel cutting around 4200 rpms. So i took the computer out and it reads MEC-R109 also has a chip in it. Well now the first 4 to 5 starts it starts up and dies. Then after that it stays running but poorly. It has no throttle response, it acts like it is hitting a rev limiter around 3 grand. So i unplugged the maf sensor and it will not start without it. When i get it running i can unplug the tps and it runs the same as well as the maf sensor as well nothing changes but maybe 200 rpms and it goes up thats all. The little red led light in the computer blinks as well as the exhaust temp gauge on the dash. They just keep blinking all the time and will not throw a code. I just dont know what else to do I looked at my wiring and it all seems to be in tact. Any advice would greatly be appreciated.

If I had another one I would, I live in Ohio so it's not the easiest thing for me to get but I can buy another one and wait for it and try it. Also should i get another one with the same exact numbers on it? I was really hoping it wasn't the ecu. But i'm also new the Skyline scene.

Nah, get an ECU for RB20DET (standard), manual I presume?

Do you guys have Japanese spares wreckers? If not, maybe import one from Yahoo Auctions Japan (via a third party shipper, in Aus we have Jesse Streeter and Import Monster to name a couple).

    • Nice one, I'd argue that the white S1 RS260 is certainly the best looking of the Stageas. And yes, fully agree on the forum situation. It's a bit of a shame, but at least SAU is a good place to be. I found the facebook groups to give me FOMO because people were trying to one-up each other and show off in some way. Feels much more natural here. There are people with seriously nice builds, but I can appreciate it rather than it making me question my life choices. Might be that people are more open with sharing how much work/money/suffering it takes to actually get there. 
    • Evening, wanted to pop in and finally register to say hi to everyone here on SAU!   It's been a while since I've been active on a forum, but back in the day I used to be relatively active on ClubLexus and other hobby-related forums. I'm glad to see SAU is still around, since with the advent of Facebook and Discord it seems forums aren't what they once were. As a recent new owner of an S1 260RS Stagea, I've found so many older guides and helpful tips from SAU that I figured I needed to join and say a grave thank you. My recent acquisition has only become legal in the US for the past year, and knowing that similar car enthusiasts from across the pond have already figured out the kinks and tricks to get these 25+ year old cars running well. I look forward to diving into more of the SAU forums as well as hopefully contribute some info myself for future posterity.   As a pic tax, here is one of the few good photos I have of my Stagea. I hope to get way more in the future!    
    • Is this where I say "Hey man my airbox cost me horsepower in my Naturally Aspirated Engine"? (I know you need them for legality in NSW)
    • 1.5mm alloy folded up, it will need a tweek, as the angled bend only got to around 45° as that was the max that the break press would get with the other bends, and I needed a fair bit more, but and the alloy is easy to bend too my will by hand once I trim the lower section out I'll Dremel out and form the angle and mounting point on the lower section when time permits  As for the lid, I'm looking at going a "cap", instead of a flat lid to hide the fixtures a bit
