unfortunately i cant id the processor to find a datasheet/disassembler. i'll have a look into the addresses however when i get some time to sit down and go through it completely

  • 2 weeks later...

there is another board NSX10AA which is a ER34 daughterboard also (not a multiboard)

do you get instructions with the mutliboard on which part you modify on the ECU to get the Microcontroller (big chip) to read from the daughterboard rather than internal PROM?

someone had to figure out the actual chip pinouts (and even the address table) from somewhere to make and tune these things. haven't had time to hunt through the binary properly yet....

I'll scan and post up the installation instructions tomorrow.

They are in jap though.

no probs i might be able to translate some of it

well looks like the badbiki mutliboard is almost finished. no more burning EPROMS since he is using NVMRAM programmed over USB. estimated about $200 but you wont need a burner/eraser. at this stage its program only...

www.bikirom.com

it has provision for the ER34 connector (must have copied the multiboard for the pinouts)

btw for some reason administrator wont let me view my private messages??

thanks for that. i'll see how we go with the translation!

sorry i haven't got around to disassembling the code yet. i'll try and get that done soon.

someone has also sent me pics of other R34 ecus with a Hitachi H8/539 CPU on board. this looks similar to the R33 ecus. thinking about a daughterboard for this since badbiki isn't doing those

if you could get some closeup high res pics of both sides of that daughterboard also that would be helpful to compare against the documentation. if you could email me those since those would be pretty big

I have a busted R33 ECU here that has the H8/534 chip with daughter board adapted to run a single 256 EPROM...

Want to copy that?

thanks for the offer but i've got the r33 daughterboard imaged (h8 chip) just need the er34 multiboard (previously pictured) pinouts.

about a year i borrowed an r33 ecu with h8 daughterboard and took some closeups, pinouts etc. the main problem is getting the parts (84 pin connector onto the board etc). the chips on the daughterboard have had id markings removed but we should be able to come up with a new design to replace this. the hr34 h8/539 measures up 128kx8 in size.

i just haven't had time to work on that since i've been doing retuning software for the emulator and maptracer im currently using

the hardest thing with the multiboard is getting the correct pitch cables but badbiki has got that sussed

:) Alrighty - trying to make heads and tails of this mixed up thread - WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THIS??

Got a Neo6 Stagea and interested - but only if this thing is getting close to being sorted out.... ANY UPDATE??

:D

Ed is getting his daughterboard fitted soon and I have identified the main maps and some of the tables for modification. Next thing is retuning the board with an emulator (16 bit for this daughterboard)

Last available version of LiveEdit for 16 bit did this but no trace... I last knew Lawrence is almost finished another version of this with calc'd maptracing in it. Sam may be able to provide more info on this

I can currently do 8 bit emulation and real tracing with my Nistune software

(http://home.iprimus.com.au/darkhalf/nistune/)

and possibly maptrace on this ECU once I can ID TP RAM location but would need another transitronics romulator box for 16 bit (romulator in short term until I get my 16 bit emulator built)

darkhalf - I am using this same board in an S15 next week, and have two emulators here already. Going to try and help lawrence nut out some problems, one of the issues is the grid boards high / low maps. I bought a second emulator and nissan datascan for Larence to help sort out the calculated map tracing... I'll check on progress....

Hmm I know nothing about this stuff - sounds like a few of you doing some good work to get this sorted - but the first post was like October last year!?

Am keen on this duaghterboard - can someone please tell me how long until we might see a post that goes something like this:

"ok EVERYTHING is sorted for the Neo6 Tiptronic/manual daughterboard group buy - just post your name if you are in, price will be approximately $xxx depending on numbers, and I'll order them on [enter date] and post them to you once I get them, along with all the info and maps you'll need for tuning to give to Hyperdrive; Dr Drift etc"

That kind of post would be WONDERFUL to see soon! :(

Guys, we are still trying to sort things out.

Can't really give you a time frame as everyone is putting in their spare time to get the fuelmap address table done.

If you can't wait, you can buy the table for $300AUD if you really are in that much of a rush.

yeah if you can post it that would help in the mentime in terms of me trying something with disassembly ... until we can get another binary out of Eds to upload to his daughterboard. the binary size needs to be 64K since 32K seems too small (like not all the code is there)

dr_drift did you just upload the 64K image straight out of consult (nissandatascan or whatever program) and burn it split it even/odd into the two 27C512 EPROMs (or emulators?)

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
