Greetings fellow petrol heads. Scara from Perth.

 

Looking to get educated on ECU's how they work, tuning prospects, idle maps, load maps and alike. 

I am old school and have only learnt the black art of carbies, mostly on sports bikes.

ECU's are new to me and therefore where else can you learn by; but from people that play in the realm all of the time. 

I must admit, I have a project underway and this knowledge I hope you will share with me, will help my understanding of what I need to do to get the job done.

There is much talk of whats best and whats not, I have no illusions of that, only that if its got spark, fuel and programming instructions with the right sensors, it has to start and run programmed with the correct information. I am looking at a fuel only ECU installation, so Ignitions, crank sensors, over and above are not an essential, so basic to the most of you, it may be mind numbing, but we all have to start somewhere. Nothing you ask of me will be considered an insult, nor shall I presume you to be a smart ass. I am in search of genuine discussion, real talk.

That being said, you''ll always get an honest frank and open response every time.

Looking forward to chatting and a million questions.

Cheers and regards

Welcome Scara, 

High performance academy run some fantastic youtube videos for free and you can sign up on there website for more detailed information on tuning engines with different ecu's. from memory it might be $30 for a detailed video on how to set up ecu's, so it isn't too bad considering.

I find the link / vipec software easy to navigate on laptop, and with the help key it assists you in really understanding what you are altering. There are alot of forums out there with people asking advise and how to set things up correctly

 

happy hunting

Not assuming anything about your level of knowledge so just for the record no RB ECUs are tunable. You will need as a minimum a device to interrrupt the signal to or from the ECU or a replacement chip (Nistune) or an aftermarket ECU

      R34 GT-T cycling ABS pump

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
