R34 GTR ECM/ECCS Relay power source

Hi Everyone,

For some unknown reason my ECM/Coil relay is not getting its supply power, as such the ECU is also getting no power on pints 49/59.  I have spent days trying to locate the reason for this and need some assistance in confirming a few things regarding R34 GTR wiring.

First thing of course was that I've checked all the fuses.  Initially the top row-left use (10A Electrical components fuse) was blown.  I replaced it, and it has not blown again since.

The ignition circuit that switches ground to one side of the ECCS relay is functional. 

I have tried hot-wiring power to the ECCS relay by connecting pin 3 to +12V, and the relay operates as it should and the ECU powers on properly. So there's my fix should I give up on fixing this issue properly.

The next thing I started to bypass was the aftermarket black widow alarm system, as I suspected the immobiliser relay may have gone open circuit (although it does click).  Bypassing most of these circuits, (and confirming the immobiliser relay was actually switching) was easy to confirm.  Still no go.

Yes I run a Haltech ECU, which in theory ignores the factory immobiliser.  But the immobiliser is still in the car, and there might be a fault with it. 

Does the factory immobiliser isolate the ECM relay?

Other than at the fuse box, is there another place in the car that I can check the power to the ECM relay?

Other than the alarm install, the loom is relatively unmolested.

Any idea's or suggestions appreciated.

 

Cheers,

Ian

Fixed it, and it was more simple than I had thought.

ECCS relay power comes from the fuse box at the back of the car, being constant/unswitched power. 

Who knows the odds of blowing an IGN Electrical components fuse and a rear constant power fuse at the same time.  Possibly something to do with my upgraded ignition/haltech or all of the above. 

Either way who cares, so long as I can drive the car again!

Have the same problem with my friends R34 and at the same time coolant all leaked... strange ... will check the fuses at the back first.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
