if u talking the differences between 32 eccs and the nics, then there are a few:

i wouldnt know them all, but as rhino said the turbo is the biggest change.

also the eccs has a much bigger plenum with a 6 intake port head, while the nics has a 12 port head.

eccs has a bov on the pipe just b4 the tb

eccs has bigger injectors

the throttle bodies seem different - the eccs having the cable on the opposite side to the nics

also different radiator hoses and a few other minor things...

comparing the 31 nics to the 31 eccs (still red top), there are less obvious changes - the main one being the bigger plenum combined with the old 12 port head.

to answer your question, the 32 eccs is much better in regards to tuning potential. it is a better base engine to start with - and also a/m parts are much more common.

Ive done a heap of research online as my sister in law can read japanese.. So anyway to the point.. The japs use the old Red top NICS in their more high-end performance cars....

As stated "top secret" used a NICS R31 red top in their record breaking R32 which ran an 8.92 over in japan.... A record that still stands today as the fastest RWD R32 in the world...

Its had the tomei 2.4litre treatment and every other thing under the sun... But yeah they chose this motor due to its larger water jacket.... and larger oil wells in the top half of the motor...

Making this motor cooler and smoother under high end treatment... Less likely to blow up as they put it...

Also the NICS 12 port manifold flows better than the 6 port ECCS... Proven fact.. However for mild performance say 200rwkw most will go fo the ECCS 6 port as it does improve the KW's but when you go highend (300rwkw) then they went back to the 12 port... Due to better flow at high turbo rpm...

So thats why i changed my ECCS for a NICS... I have improved the power on the NICS to the point where we were able to pull 230rwkw's from less than 8 grand....

My car is going in for some fairly major work in three weeks....

PLANS, Stroke to 2.4 (if parts are aviable)

Otherwise 2.2 (allready have parts)

5 speed R33 manual gearbox (R32 not strong enough)

Larger FMIC (going to 720x400x77)

Turbo is going to be rebuilt again, this time with a different front housing... Gonna use a VL turbo front housing (dont ask why, just am, gonna try something new...)

Thats about it... but we aim for 250rwkw all day everyday...

Hopeing to strike the 300rwkw for the first time....

That will then enter the Nissan record books as the most powerfull GTS-X in Australia....

It has a red top RB20det motor NICS from an HR31

It has been stroked to 2.4 litres

Some form of custom turbo (does not say exactlly, just says that it is a twin cermaic bush turbo...) Id imagine its large..

Tomei internals.. ie. oversized pistons, cams, rods, crank, all internals anyway...

Custom 2 speed top shifting gearbox (from what i can imagine its similar to a modified powerglide....

Solid diff with mini tubs...

Anyway it dyno's at 560rwkw.....

Still is one of their shops cars.....

I will go to top secret one of these days.. When i get holidays i plan on traveling to Japan to see what i can bring back cheap....

Which one...

No. 24

The one titled "The new chaser is out"

Also with 3 litre GTR combat ready....

Or

No. 25

The one titled "The secret is out, top secret GTR built in Australia"

With an Evo 7 double test

Cause i went down to the newagent and he said that NO.25 came in today... So you might be talking about No.24... Or are you talking about 25... Please let me know cause he wont let me read them so i need to buy it and i dont want two....

HPI basicly say the NICS is infirior to the ECCS due to the 12 port head so there is probably confusion here to nismogtsx statements, but nismogtsx does state they are better over 300rwkw the problem being not many R31's are going near that, so the ECCS is the better engine to the average bear and even better the Silver top RB20det ECCS. But as HPI say dont dispear from simple changes you can get a descent showing from them...

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
