Hello everyone,

I want to thank you for any info in advance. I have searched the forum but need help finding the answer. I Have an R33 Gtst and swapped it to an RB25det NEO with NEO ECU. For the swap, I used a wringing specialties harness, and it has come together prefect only issue is the AC does not work now. I did keep all of the R33 AC components. I noticed that the R34 has a two-wire AC pressure switch, and the R33 has a four-AC wire pressure switch. Has anyone else done this or know the fix?

The R32 & R33 skylines have the refrig pressure switch in series with the power supply to pin9 on the Ecu. If you press the AC button the the Ecu earths this pin and the ac compressor switches on. If the refrig pressure is low it will open circuit this power supply to the Ecu and prevent the ac compressor from switching on and damaging the compressor. 
in the R34’s the refrigerant pressure switch is wired independently of the power supply to pin 14 (equivalent of pin 9 on R33) the controls the ac compressor operation. The refrigerant pressure switch provides a signal to the ecu at pin57 to tell it the refrigerant pressure is ok. Without a signal the ecu won’t Switch the ac compressor on. The plugnplay looms I have done in the past for this swap have included a small power feed to pin 57 to make the ecu think the refrigerant pressure is ok. I use the 5v power from pin48 through a couple of 2.2kohm resistors to drop the voltage to approx 2.6v.
The alternative to this is to install a switch in the cabin that simple earths the old pin9 to manually switch the ac compressor on.

Thank you for this information, I greatly appreciate it. When you drop the voltage on pin 48 to 2.6v are you connecting it to pin 57 Or does the voltage just need to be dropped inline to send the signal to the ECU ? Thank you again for your help.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
