Sydneykid from what i have read from other people that have used this ecu in their auto skylines, they havent had a problem with the ecu except for the gearchange to be a little jerky.

Yep, that's the problem I found in the one (and only one) I have driven. It was a bit annoying in that R33 GTST. But in a Stagea, towing a trailer with an R32 GTST on it, it may well be terrible. I don't know. :confused:

BTW abu, when your manual has done a 9, then you can sling off at R33 autos. Until then :wassup:

Hey MJ let us know when you get it done and how everything went.

The Map I sent you I got from Steve_SST and when I tested it on my GTST everything seemed to work fine other then it wouldn't idle properly. I found that gear changers were a little jerky but only from first to second all the other gears seemed fine.

I haven't got it properly installed as yet so mine just needs some fine tuneing just waiting to get some more parts together and do it all at once.

hey guys strutto and i put the ecu in today and its great. It was pretty damn easy to install, only had to run a vaccum hose from the engine to the ecu (for the map sensor) and then plug the ecu into the loom, after that we loaded the map to the ecu.

At first the car wouldnt idle. So we increased the richness by 15% and it idled great. We tried to lower the richness but the car wouldnt start then. But i have a feeling there is alot of caliberation that is meant to be setup to help with this, as we had trouble setting the air temperature and we didnt set the load caliberation table etc.

The car blows a bit of black smoke when it starts as its getting way too much fuel into it but that only lasts 2-3secs while the car is starting then when it idles it goes away. Im still reading how to over come this, as there are alot of fuel modifiers to play with.

The gears from 1-2 is jerky and then from 2-3 it seems to hold the gear much longer then the stock ecu and sometimes i have to take my foot off the accelerator for it to change to 3rd. I also have to push the accelerator further for it to downshift too. Apparently this can be fixed by running the TPS and Tacho singal from the ecu to the auto ecu. I havent tried this yet as it was getting late.

Performance wise the car runs like a rocket, when i floor it the car is very smooth through the rev range and pulls much harder then before. Im only running stock boost too as i havent sussed out the boost control yet.

So i still have alot to play with but its been great learning how it all works and im sure with more time and playing around with settings ill have those problems sorted. Then it will off to the dyno for a final tune :D

Im just hoping it will start tomorrow morning on a dead cold engine :)

Cheers

Good work MJ when you can get the $$ together i can't recommend highly enough getting it dynoed!! I just had a Link ECU installed on my auto (running a pod, FMIC, and a 3" exhaust from the turbo back and using the standard boost solenoid) last week. BEST MOD EVA!! I got just under a 40rwkw gain. They used a TPS to control the gear change and is smooth as!! Only drama I’ve got is its a bit more difficult to start takes longer to fire?? Apparently it’s to do with the map sensor i don't know weather you noticed that?

40kw gain id be stoked with that :)

Dyno tune will probably be next week depending how quickly i sort everything out. My car is hard to start now but that can be due to a number of things, the bosch fuel pump needs to be primed before it will start and i have to setup the fuel modifiers correctly. I hope the plugs dont get fouled from the rich starting.

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the r33 auto ecu? I need to find out which wires are the TPS and rpm signal

Cheers

Matt

Good work MJ, Mine done the same thing with changing from 2 to 3 and also changing into overdrive a couple of times I had to let my foot of so it would change up, but it did run smother and went well, did you callibrate the TPS?

What MAP did you use?

I used the map steve sent me, the ignition maps were quite a bit different to yours. Have you got ur ecu in the car and completely tuned? So you did fix the gear changing problem by tapping into the TPS wire of the auto ecu?

I havent caliberated the TPS yet, where in the pc software do i do that?

The map I have is the one that Steve_SST sent me it hasn't been changed, I haven't gotten round to getting all done as yet. No I haven't tapped in to the TPS.

I'm not to sure where it is in the PC software I just do it with the Hand controller.

    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
