Hi Guys,

Just looking at some advice for de-pining a VQ ecu.

Its actually a VQ30DET loom from a nissan cima, but im hoping since the vq is in the maxima that the plug is similar if not the same.





I want to know if anyone has master the trick of removing the ECU pins.

I moved the grey thing up slightly, it dient go far. some nissan ecus have similar locks that come all the way out. Is this means to pull out, or just pop out slightly?

anyother tricks?

I managed to get one out, nfi how i did it, or if i did it right tho.

cheers, Christian

 

No tricks really, pull up the grey tab and pull a pin out of the connector. It'll take some force, but it'll come out.

 

I thought maybe you would need to put a pin tool in the other side to move a locking tab or something

 

it would def be easier with a tool

dunno where to get one tho

and yes that connector will fit


what are you making?

 

Im ever so slowly putting a vq30det into a s13 180sx.
I am removing all the loom parts i do not require.

 

and i see the cat checking your progress, or deciding where he's gonna take a nap....

 

fixed it for ya

 

she is definalty a supervisor. provides no help, only gets in the way when i try to do something.

 

is that a calico? always wanted one. whats the car your trying to build?

 

calico? she is multicoured yeah, i guess thats right?



The car is a 89 nissan 180sx (s13 silvia family)
when it had a sr20det in it
