Hi guys,

I bought a loom + ECU which was from an R32 but was on an RB25DET.

I was told this was an R32 RB20DET ECU and loom, which is what I need for my RB25DE head on my RB30E bottom end, for my RB30DET.

I am somewhat worried that it is in fact an R33 RB25DET loom, and ECU, and thus is not chippable, and will not be appropriate for the sensors on the RB25DE head, and the injectors, etc.

The serial number is: 23710-21U01

Only hit I could find on that was this guys post who says it is an RB25DET ECU (R33) http://64.233.187.104/search?q=cache:FmHd5...710-21U01&hl=en

I have taken some photos:

I was originally posting this to ask which one was the consult port, but now Im concerned this isnt an R32 ECU at all!!

It seems this is a chipped R33 ECU, that has had a daughterboard installed, and a reprogrammed R33 chip.

This will not be compatible with the sensors on my R32 RB25DE now will it. :)

Hmm. Anyone interested in swapping an R32 ECU and loom for an R33 ECU and loom? The R33 loom would be easier if you are planning on using a PowerFC since the R33 PowerFC is substantially cheaper. :)

Looks definitely R33.. no standard replaceable chip there that I can see.

The ERPOM on the R32 are lot smaller and skinnier..

Actually.. I just pulled out R33 ECU I had lying around.. same part number .. Its a series1 ECU for R33.. sorry bud

That ecu wont fit an r33, the brackets are wrong. The brackets are for an r32.

But the internals dont match what i found inside my r32 ecu either and the part number is slightly different. could it be an rb25de ecu?

got picks of the loom? Thats pretty easy to confirm r32 or 33 from the under dash plugs.

its interesting as it has the top chip socketed.. whereas most of the standard R33 ones don't..

Maybe it is possible to chip them, its just quite expensive?? (that programmer on g-grid site was up around $1000).

Can you see what looks like home solder jobs around the top socket there at all?

Not that I can see. It looks well done.

From what I understand there is nothing inherently different about chipping an R33 ECU compared to an R32 ECU, other than that you need to do a little bit of soldering on the R33 ECU, and that the chips suitable for the R33 are write-once only.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
