R32 Gts4 ECU burned Resistor...advice

Quote


 

let me preface this by stating I am no electrical guy.  I can do mechanical, but thats about it.  Anyways, I upgraded my turbo and injectors and then installed my Nistune ECU a few weeks ago.  The motor when fired up sounded like a wrx...found that unplugging coilpack #4 yeilded no change...boom, dead cylinder.  Pulled the injector, injector is fine....then thought to check ecu since it was just sitting on my floorboard...Burnt resistor that corresponds to cylinder 4.  Now, i dont recall disconnecting my battery before doing all this work, and am hoping that may have been the cause as i was moving a lot of stuff around and out of the way.  I am replacing the resistor, but would like to know what else I should be looking at that could have caused this, besides me being an idiot and not disconnecting my battery before doing all this work.  Thanks in advance for any tips or advice.

Yah, a computer repair shop is replacing it for $15...should have it back today....just trying to prevent a failure again....battery is already disconnected and will be connected after everything is in position.  Posted on Nicoclub.com as well.

I sent the ECU straight to Nistune in Australia to ensure it was installed correctly.,,no way thats the problem. I just installed the ecu with the new resistor installed...cylinder 4 still dead, but resistor is good.  Ran noid tester and injector is firing...going to test ignitor next.  Finding conflicting info on how to test...

Ok, so installed the repaired resistor ecu, used  the injector nodes, injector is firing and the the problem is still there...definately no spark.  Since the harness goes to the ecu and resistors off the ignitor, i measured the resistance across the 6 pinouts..all measures the same except cylinder 4 wire, which read .02.  I need to do more testing, but does that imply that wire is being grounded somewhere? Can someone please test theirs and see what they get?

Has your coilpack been blown out? Burning out a resistor isn't a small feat. It looks like a 22 ohm resistor, and it probably had a constant 12v across it to burn it out like that.

However if the output was stuck on, that would have burned out the coilpack?

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
