Well the good news is a bad ground might stop something working, but it won't break it. Even if a short is caused you should only lose a fuse, not the control unit.

There is a ground from the body to the rear subframe that is often removed or broken, particularly if the subframe has been out. That ground missing is the most common cause of the error you saw, but not it this case it seems

Duncan thanks for your input throughout, in fact I was up late trouble shooting and wow I’m glad I did that I forsure would have wrecked another ecu. I attached the workshop manual page with the procedure I followed for code 24. I got to testing the coninutuity and the numbers were super dodgy sometime getting low reading but jumping all over. Sure enough rear ground was completely loose at the frame but still making somewhat of a connection. Would have eventually ate my ets cu. the rust was misleading but helped me fix my washer fluid issue. Hope this thread helps lots of people with code 24. Follow the manual it never lies.

Duncan,thanks for sharing

Yes smart guy has helped me lots much appreciated.  the manual is good for trouble shooting. Having good grounds, good ets connections, clean abs sensors, bleed atessa, replaced ets control unit(used) check for codes, address codes.  topped it off with a du-lock v2/quaife diff on circuit setting and cars a totally different machine with no issues anymore. grounds were a big one as well, cleaning contact points with new ground cables on rear diff to subframe, battery/frame/engine, added a engine to frame ground where a/c used to bolt to engine, ground from firewall to engine.  

forgot to add and also covered a zillion times but make sure your tps set to .4 max .5.  This also threw a 4wd code on my ets unit when I replaced it. I set to .4 and she was good to go. I did this with car not running.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
