I didn’t see that. I found a crowd in aus called RB factory that make R33 specific ones

Hah, and I didn't see yours when I was looking for some. Looks like it's a similar idea / design.

It's one reason why I like reading the build threads here. Like for example the custom ashtray keypad mount you mentioned a few posts earlier went straight on the maybe-one-day-santa-list :D

Yeah, to be fair I stole the idea from @Dose Pipe Sutututu . The mount is great, it even uses the ashtray spring clips to hold it in place. I’ll get him to update his website to include it (if he hasn’t already).

I like yours more though, the one I have is a bit rough around the edges and is a friction fit. I had to use foam tape to stop it flying out on hard acceleration.

The one I have has no provision to easily swap over the spring clips from the ashtray.

No worries, how did you choose to adapt dbw?

i'm still VH45 TB for now. i need to fix my miss fire that has developed since fixing replacing my head gasket and changing coils :(

So while planning the loom fix for the A/C relay, I thought why not just ditch the relay and power from PDM? It will definitely simplify things and free up an output on the haltech.

my basic understanding of the A/C system (based on vehicle wiring diagrams):

- A/C controller sends signal to ecu (pin 46)

- ecu provides 12v out to engine bay (pin 9)

- 12v from ecu goes via the pressure switch (canister near radiator)?

- pressure switch then enables A/C and auxiliary fan relays, turning on compressor and fan when water temp gets hot?

Based on this, just simply running an 8A output to compressor would seem to bypass pressure switch, witch doesn’t seem like a good idea? I’d need to wire the pressure switch with 12v and an AVI to create a rule to then switch compressor on?

This is the r32 wiring (I don't have the r33 one handy), but likely the same or similar.

The diagram is not clear that ECU pin 9 to pressure switch is +, but it later states that.

So, to move AC to a PDM control just output the AC signal on pin 9 as standard, and run your PDM output to the AC relay, the you keep the pressure switch input to stop it trying to overfill.

Alternatively it you really don't want the relay you need to connect the pressure switch to ground on one side and a spare DPI on the other. Then connect the PDM output to the compressor directly. Then setup the ECU to use that DPI as a condition to turn on the AC output.

Keep in mind that is only half the AC control. The other half depends on what the climate control is set at.

This is what I was thinking, although may be out of my depth wiring/programming wise… I will add the necessary wires into my loom (and not bin the relays just yet) and then give it a go. At least it’s pretty simple to go back to the factory method.

here is a snip from the R33 wiring diagram:

this was a screenshot from the iPhone, so quality may not be the best..

Wiring loom is now complete, with ECU turning on and no fires or fried electronics to be seen… The IC-7 is also working nicely with the indicators, screen dimming with lights on, park brake etc. all working nicely. All the factory vehicle functions that were patched in work nicely too!  

I have upgraded the ECU to the latest NSP software, started with a haltech R33 base map and am in the process of allocating all I/O’s and checking sensor tables etc.

on its way from Brisbane is the FPG fan shroud and fitting kit, where I will run the 3000cfm SPAL fan via the PDM, which will replace the factory clutch fan.

now just counting down for all the fab work then the tune..

So, been playing around setting all the I/O’s and the only one issue I have is the throttle body will not calibrate.. it’s throwing a ‘P2109’ fault code.. will touch base with haltech to try sort.

other than that, everything is good! All that’s needed now is to re-make the turbo oil and water lines (not happy with first attempt). Then I will double check all bolts/fittings before putting fluids in.

a couple of pics of the finished interior:

double, triple check your DBW TB wiring, there are some models the pins are reversed for whatever reason, also do the same on the pedal.

Can you get a screen of all your voltages?

Ok. The pedal calibrates fine though?

below is a screen pic of when the throttle calibration is running:0C0EA587-1C50-4121-AD30-6F4C7A79921B.thumb.jpeg.7f6f14e77fcc6ba6373a0af286193d01.jpeg

its applying duty cycle (and it’s audible) but the throttle barely moves (not even to the fully closed position).

to verify the throttle wasn’t stuck, I physically moved it, with the below results:

It shows the TPS itself (middle graph) is working fine? And the top graph is plotting the APP (pedal press was independent to throttle calibration).

thoughts?

Also for shits and giggles I switched the pins for the motor + and - at the ecu connector to see if it made a difference. No bueno.

hmmm

I see that APP1 vs APP2 has difference voltages, they "should" be nearly the same.

Maybe try borrow another pedal from someone or from someone's nan's Nissan X-Trail lolol...

I thought they are supposed to be offset by approx 50% for fail safe? Would the pedal cause the throttle calibration issues?

I better look at mine running again, I just pulled up old logs and saw the same voltage for APP 1 and 2.

Ok, I was just reading some googles that said they are offset.. I’m definitely no expert! I’m running a 370z pedal if that makes any difference.. thanks for your help!

I have just unplugged the pedal connector and checked the voltages supplied to both APP circuits with a multimeter. Both are getting 5v, so that rules out any of my dodgy wiring (to those pins anyway).

    • Welcome to the site. Any more pics? That colour is gorgeous.
    • I didn't even know that existed!!! Amazing, good work Andy at Haltech! A bit off topic here, but I actually met Andy at a Aus Lancer car meet at the old Shell Space Station in Ryde back in 2003 or so. He brought out this aluminium case and showed everyone this basic circuit and said he was making an ECU that was capable of using closed loop to self tune. Most of the people there dismissed his idea.
    • I actually was using 4D tables with my old AEM WMI system. I'm now using "Water Injection Advanced" under engine functions to control my WMI. The timing and fuel corrections are easier to use as they have WMI in mind. Example, my fuel correction is based on my WMI solenoid duty cycle, they also included built in timers to delay corrections before and after spraying, timers to ramp up pulse width, etc.   
    • Just a thought, how come you didn't use a 4D table? So you essentially run 2x fuel and 2x ignition tables, and the table/map switch is handled when there's enough WMI pressure detected. This is mine, but using the flex sensor as the 4th dimension, note the slider at the bottom. Between 0 to 70%, the timing is blended/interpolated , once it goes past 70% ethanol full send
    • Hi guys, after dreaming of owning a JDM legend for 20 years, I got the chance to buy a 1995 R33 GTR.  I live in a small country called the Solomon Islands which is in the pacific. There is no performance car scene here, however 90% of vehicles here are 2nd hand Japanese imports so there is a handful of JDM sports cars here, tucked away.  3 Evo VI’s, 1 180sx turbo, 2 GTO’s, 1 R32 GTR and 2 R33 GTR’s.    Only 1 Evo and a 33 (mine) are active. I’m hoping to set up a club to get these cars back in the road.    I’d known of my GTR for 9 years and always dreamed of owning it. At the start of this year I found it sitting outside a workshop waiting for a respray. It was in pretty bad shape, although running and driving perfectly apart from a big exhaust leak and worn out bushings. My brother in law who is a huge GTR guy came over for a holiday and I took him to see it, he got into my ear and I bought the car 2 weeks later as is.   I’ve had a pretty bad problem with alcohol and weed since 2020 and I really wanted to quit. So I used this as my motivation. I quit everything cold turkey and have been investing all my spare time into restoring this car. It’s honestly been the best experience and has been such a positive impact on my life.  There is no market for these cars here, no parts and no mechanics that can work on them, so if you wanted to sell one it would be pretty impossible unless you found the right buyer. After a bit of negotiating with the previous owner (a good friend) I got the car for $15,000 AUD ($85,000 SBD) which is insane.  I’ve almost finished doing a refresh on the engine, new turbos, spark plugs and split fire coil packs. Also new gaskets and seals, This car had no leaks to begin with, but it’s due now being 30 years old. . Next I’ll be working on the suspension, all new bushings, ball joints, king pins and new coil overs.  Then it will be body work, it has really bad rust in the boot floor, I have purchased a rear beaver cut from my bro which will replace the rusted out one. The car is originally KL0, but was burnt orange when it landed here, then it was resprayed toxic green and then Bayside Blue. I’m probably going to get it redone in Bayside Blue.  I’m super grateful to be able to enjoy this car and couldn’t have done it without my bro Chris from OG-JDM. Looking forward to the future with this car and hoping to get it on the runway at the airport here 😂  cheers fellas
