Hey everyone,

Just bought a car and it's running extremely rich. r34 gtr vspec

There is a piggy back system connected to the ecu:

I want to take it off, however, when the mechanic removed it, the car won't start.

He suggested that the standard ecu might not be working correctly in the first place which is why the piggy back ecu is there.

Is there anyone here who could lend me their stock ecu?

Are all r34 gtr ecus the same? vspec non vspec etc?

Or should I just go buy a power fc and tune?

What do you guys suggest?

Thanks guys

No difference that I know vspec vs non vspec as the difference is the abs and 4wd computers. Ditch that piggy back and if it still doesn't start read up on NATS in the bnr34 service manual and get Ecu Diag cable or PFC which will also work

i still have no idea whats going on.. it's pretty confusing. i dont have a ecu diag cable..

i've taken out the piggy back unit and reconnected the standard ecu, however the car wont fire up.

maybe recommendations on where i can take the car to? someone who knows r34 gtrs and the nats system?

Your injectors are probably too big for the stock ecu; could be all number of factors if the car is modified. Get it tuned with an aftermarket ecu and save your money down the track.

im pretty sure my car is stock.. besides the cat back exhaust.

the injectors are original... they are yellow capped.

looking to buy this power fc:

it says it's missing the 'harness'.. i thought all power fc are plug and play?

  • 1 month later...

Okay so...

Bought r34 gtr power fc, installed but doesn't fire up and concluded it's the NATS. The r34 gtr power fc requires an input signal from the factory immobiliser.

Also realised, the car is running an r32 gtr ecu with that piggy back unit.. which means.. the factory immobiliser was disabled anyway. (I have an aftermarket immobiliser)

So the only solution was to buy an r33 gtr power fc, switch some pins around, and tune.

Car is now running fine, factory immobiliser is disabled however have aftermarket immobiliser and alarm system to compensate.

I think a benefit of this set up is that if I were to purchase a spare key, I would not need to code the key.

Are there any cons you guys could think of in this set up?

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
