hi guys

i just bought myself a ceffy off the boat rb20det AUTO (been here 3 weeks) and it still hasnt got compliance yet

i was trying to hook up the batery on it when i onnected the wrong terminals to the battery

this simply means that i connected positive to negative and negative to positive and then a big spark tried to burn my eyebrows off.

i searched around and replaced all the fuses in the car because the car then wouldnt start and none of the electricals would work. I replaced a blown fuse in the engine bay and now all of the electricals work perfectly

the only problem is that the car wont start now and im afraid that i have blown the computer up. does anyone or has anyone had this problem? the car tries to start and just comes before that point of starting and it doesnt turn over.

i know my mistake and i will probably lick myself really hard when i find out the real consequences of what i have done. the question i got is:

1. What computer do they use? is it exactly the same as the r32gtst because they are the same engine?

2. Could it be anything else?

3. How much is a computer and where can i get one from?

thanks for all yur help people - i need this thing on the road so i can start drifting the thing,

thanks guys

steven

skyline r32 ecu is different because of different electrical accessories try to get onle from just jap kirawee the will have one. Have you cheked the fuel pump fuse ??? give that a try before any thing or pull the fuelm line off and turn the car on reds if there is no fuel comming out thats your problem. Alsochek the plugs to see if they are firing.

Check your relays too I'm sure the fuses should protect these but yeah.. Also make sure there is no alarm/immobilser in there if that's blown up and not working there's a chance it may be still immobilising it.

You may like to open your ECU up maybe theres a fuse in there too ? (just guessing).

i wouldnt recommend anyone opening up their ECU that has just put the battery terminals on back to front.. lol no offence.

u can use any R32 GTST ECU from memory but it will need to be retuned (make sure its an AUTO too obviously).

can u hear the fuel pump?

also try sss automotive girraween (i think).

Before you go buying ECUs for rare-ish cars you should probably pay your local sparky $50 to come down after work if that's a feasible thing ...just to tell you what's wrong.

Question for you - I *think* when you put your car on reds the light on the ECU should come up... can you get your car on reds? Does the light come up?

I did this on my brothers BMW E30 M3... He wasnt impressed.

The fuel pump wouldnt work (Called BavariaCars and they told me how to short the Fuel pump to make it run. But I still was getting a spark when I put a screwdriver into the lead and looked for a spark on the block. Got it towed to sydney (from Newcastle) and it ended up costing about $1500 for bits and labor. I'll track down the invoice later and see what they did, the Haltech ECU is still there so I guess that was unscathed, but some of the ignition controller modules were fried methinks.

      If the gases flowing in those two tracts had the same properties, you could maybe use such broscience. But the exhaust has a different composition, different normal density, different actual density (because of different normal density, and mostly because of the massively higher temperature), and different viscosity (again because of much higher temperature). Consequently, all of the fluid dynamics parameters that matter, that you calculate from these inputs, such as the Reynolds number, friction factors (for wall friction) and so on, are all incomparable.

      And we shall have to presume that Canada is the same?

      In the US almost everything is E10. It can't exceed 10% by much or fuel systems have trouble adapting. At the same time because MTBE, MMT, and TEL are all banned they need as much ethanol in it as possible to boost octane.

      I was mostly jesting. In my experience (and probably only my experience) the R34 GTT physical airbox space is actually too small to flow the amount of power it wanted. By sealing the box, I made it so it could only be fed by the ducts themselves. So you can seal it up and get nice cold air which IS good, but at a certain crossover point: More Hot Air > Less Cold Air I don't think you're at this point. In my case merely ducting the hot air intake with a very focused set of ducts counteracts the fact it's in a V8 engine bay. More cold air obviously best. The solution looks great.

      Nah, the OEM CAI pipe is still installed behind the bumper, it is about 5" x 3" oval at the engine side, tapering down to a 3" pipe behind the bumper where it gets all the ambient air it needs Engine side of radiator support OEM intake pipe "oval hole" that is right in front of the filter My OEM NC1 CAI pipe: From NC2 onwards, below pic, they come slightly smaller at 2.75" diameter with corrugations and a resonance chamber to reduce intake noise, lucky for me my NC1 has the bigger noisy one, LOL   Basically, the "sealed" airbox will just get ambient air from a 3" pre filter intake tube that is the same size, 3" as the rest of the intake pipe post filter, and if a 3" intake isn't big enough to flow enough air for 150 killerwasps then there are other issues The whole intake is basically the same length as OEM, but it is now about 30% bigger from the airbox back through to the new intake plenum than OEM, and the intake plenum is port matched to the head And the intake is now about 30% bigger than my 2.5" exhaust, so the suck, squeeze, bang and blow black magic should be fine, well, to my uneducated understanding of fluid dynamics anyway Talking the the guys at MX5 Mania, it may even make a few more killerwasps as the intake isn't sucking hot air, especially off idle or when in slow traffic when it would be sucking hot air  As for the difference in IAT, I haven't logged IAT yet, as I don't currently have a OBD2 reader, but I will have a play with my thermal lazer thingie next time I take the car out to sèe how hot stuff gets under the bonnet near the intake filter prior to installing the air box, my "assumption is it has to be much better after the air box is in and sealed up compared to what it is now The aftermarket "performance" CAI elephant in the room: Aftermarket CAI intakes typically have the air filter tucked up behind the bumper, with a 2.5" intake tube (the OEM intake pipe is actually about 30% bigger than the fancy pants "aftermarket" version.....WTF), and you need to remove the bumper to service the filter, which is a PITA Like dis:
