if it dose not make sense its because I was at work typing fast not to be caught lol.

I have a s1 c34 stagea and am looking to upgrade the ecu. I read hear a while ago that u could use a z32 ecu in the s1 so it could be nistuned. so I was after all the info on making it work. a guy hear in wa has a ecu but I not know if it can be plugged in to my existing loom. the stock ecu plug now is a grey plug

so yes I think it is called a z32 maf

The z32 maf is not an ECU. It's the air flow meter. I'm not a c34 guy but I believe it allows a higher flow rate before it hits cut compared the the standard maf sensor

I have heard that story too but I don't know anyone who has done it. You are looking for an ECU from an auto Z32 but it is far from a simple job and as I say I am not even sure that it will work. You could try emailing Nistune as I am sure they would know about it if anyone has done it.

Sorry I don't know much about the Nistune options either, but I do know a Z32 ECU would be a full wire in job which is a bit of stuffing around. You may well need the z32 AFM as well but getting the ECU in and wired is the first trick.

or swapping pins. but I am still finding out. according to a few tuners hear the triptronic has its own module to control that. so he said u will just need to find out if the auto shifts the same still. the awd is not affected as long as the signals to the awd module are right

The only other time I have heard of a 34 ecu in a stage a was in a thread in forced induction. A guy from the UK had it done, and the trans wouldn't shift properly. And heaps of power was missing"

I can't remember exactly but the title had something to do with t2 turbo,as apparently that's what his tuner fitted....

Anyway I'm predicting this will be way harder than you think. 4bidn1 has done a neo conversion so would know a thing or two about the neo Ecu's hidden traps.

yer I am talking with a guy in the uk about his s1 that was running a r34gtt ecu. trying to get all the info. if I can get a r34 ecu for bugger all I will try what a tuner hear said. to plug it in swap the cas wires and see how it runs if it starts. then take it for a slow drive to see how the auto is. if none of that works will just look as a decent piggyback ecu

    • Congratulations on your find  Did you mean it has 6k miles or was that a typo? Firstly, keep in mind some movement of the shifter is normal...it is a long rod hanging out of a box bolted to the engine. Having said that there are 2 next places to look: 1. Transmission and engine mounts. If these are worn or broken the shifter will move around more. They are reasonably easy to source and replace on a hoist, and possible but uncomfortable to replace car stands 2. On the bottom of the shifter there is a nylon cup that sits over shifter's ball end. If this is worn or broken the shifter will move around more than it should (but will still shift OK). That is a cheap part and requires removal of centre console, rubber shifter hole covers and a circlip in the gearbox shifter hole to remove the shifter. Re maintenance, as with any new import you should change all the fluids including transmission when you get it; never trust the seller and previous owners to have done the right thing. I am pretty sure R34 GTT is the same as earlier big box transmissions, so use any good quality GL4 75w90 trans fluid if it is shifting well (if it is hard to shift due to synchro wear, redline shockproof lightweight will keep it alive a bit longer before rebuild is required)
    • Well considering I have the exact same problem with that as the original one I don't think that the ignitor is the problem. I would imagine that this being such an uncommon problem the possibility of getting a new ignitor that is bad in the same way as the old one has to be very slim. I'll definitely pull everything apart this weekend and check the turbo out. Got quite a bit of things to check out Saturday like fuel pressure and the pcv so I'll report back once I do that.  Thanks everyone for all the replies this is all really helpful
