If your ecu wasn’t getting power the engine wouldn’t start at all. Sounds like your ecu may be fried. Code 53 is a knock control code stating there is a problem with your ecu. I’d look to get another ecu. Have you got a manual or auto, TT or Na?

My wiring isn’t stock, I bypassed the original relay and installed a new relay separate from the one fuse box as I am running a Walbro 485lph. I took a 12v ignition feed and wired it directly into the ecu (pin 31 or pin 33) can’t remember which off the top of my head I think pin 31 on the e10 ecu connector (look at a pinout diagram for the ecu). But yeah that solved my issues with the gearbox not working. What issues are you having? Are you running a standalone ecu for the engine?

Hi, I'm running a standalone ecu for the engine. Due to my stock ecu not powering on my automatic gearbox was not shifting automatically (it would only shift using the manual gear selector and in drive (D) it would lock itself into overdrive). Doing a code check by bridging diagnostic pins showed no warning lights at all. Otherwise car worked fine.

Hi, not any more. Confirmed my ecu is OK, it just wasn't receiving power from the efi relay so wasnt fully powering on. Cheers, Alex

I understand mate. But unlike most people who buy supra's these days and have the cash to take their cars to a garage and get them to do everything I don't have £8k to spare! I've spent around 50k so far over 8 years of ownership (including buying it for 10k) and have done pretty much everything myself (bar putting the bottom end of my engine together). 8k on a gearbox is better spent on other more important things imo. My car is heavily modified, so I've already built my engine and gearbox to handle a lot more power. I could justify 1.5k but 8k not so much.

No problem, I've wanted to go the ZF8 route since 2018 before it was even done as it was such a good box in my 640d, unfortunately I can't justify the cost of doing the swap with how expensive adapter plates, gearbox ecu's etc are.

Hi Burna, Are you still doing these, if so I'm interested! Out of curiosity is this an actuator linked to the original shift lever controlled by an ecu? I don't have the trac butterfly valve or sensors any more (so no Manu mode), any idea if this would this cause an issue or could it be worked around in the software? Regards, Alex

PM regarding seat belts

That's exactly my plan, luckily i've got a 3d printer capable of printing abs properly. If i get round to doing it before everyone gets their sideskirts i'll just print a lode off as long as anyone who wants them covers postage plus a couple of quid for the materials and time to post. Same as you though Probby, depends if i make the time to do it soon

Sorry no clear pics of them yet. I've yet to work out a way of securing the top of the skirts properly. I'm away at the moment so won't be able to get any pics for a few days. If someone reminds me I can get some photos and post them on here.

I've got the sideskirts and they're good overall. One thing to note is the stock side skirts have clips riveted on just above the air scoop, but these do not, and they don't come with anything to clip the top of the side skirt to the car, so you'll have to work that out for yourselves. The edges aren't smooth like the oem skirts, so you might want to sand them down to get a round finish. Overall they're good, but if your expecting perfection then you might be disappointed, but either way 10x better than fibreglass or carbon alternatives, and preferable over 2nd hand skirts which are expensive and often cracked and brittle.

More than I want to pay to be honest considering I'm not even sure mine is broken (just the gearbox not shifting automatically)! I only need it for gearbox control as I've got a standalone engine ecu. Good luck with the sale though.

Hi, How much for the auto engine ECU?

Cheers

After an auto ecu in good working condition. Standard auto not tiptronic
