y the negative,i tried this same thing my 32, turned the ignition off ,disconnected the positive(red) battery wire ,pumped the brake a few times n didnt feel any different,does it only work with the negative terminal being removed?

To answer the question.

The stock ECU is a learning ECU. It will adapt to certain conditions (such as fuel types, sensor performance etc etc). An example of how this works is my stock Air Flow meter started to die on me, but the stock ecu some how compensated for it. When I put the powerFC in the AFM had to be replaced.

When you reset the ECU your car will start the learning process again. Its worth doing on a car thats just been imported as the fuel is different in australia.

I would also leave the car with no battery attached for more than a few seconds.. count to 30 in french then re-connect the battery. :cheers:

would..

the ECU should have a series of decent sized capacitors to filter power into its memory.. Leave the battery off for 10 seconds, pump the brake pedal a few times and you should be right.

If you have been driving the car in australia for more than a few weeks then this whole exercise would probably be pointless as the car would have adjusted to aussie conditions.

There's a thread about this in one of the other sections...

You can also reset it by shorting 2 of the pins on the connector under the interior fuse box (drivers side)... Search for the thread... it's all there.

Turn key to acc, short, watch the check engine light flash a sequence... acc off, turn key, start engine.. ecu will be reset. No battery terminal crap and no loss of stereo settings etc...

**edit: this is for r33 s2's... don't know if it's the same for s1's...

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
