Hi Forum,

I need to know what information a RB25DE 5-Speed AT Gearbox management ans the ECU are Exchanging. I already look on the wires. Two of them have a sqarewave signal and on the other signal is some noise I don´t understand. The things I guess these both ones are exchanging are ignition cut for gearchange and some diagnosis data. So I´m searching for all information about it I can get. Maybe you guys can help me. That would be awsome.

Now the part why I need this Information. I want to hook up a RB25DE 5-Speed AT to a RB26DETT ECU :-). Because the RB26DETT some much more cool features.

The engine will be a RB25DE that is modified to be a RB25DET including the piston cooling.

Regards Alex

I hooked up a datalogger to my 4 speed auto in my R33 and found 4 wires of interest

Pin56 - Throttle position sensor signal to gbox (variable voltage)

Pin5 - Was some sort of decelleration signal that seemed to trigger when decelleration was above a certain level. Signal from gbox to main ecu (goes low on activation)

Pin 14 - Power upshift signal which activated on 1-2 or 2-3 upshifts at high throttle. From gbox to main ECU (goes low on activation)

Pin 15 - Was some sort of acceleration signal that seemed to trigger above a certain throttle position but this varied a little. Main ecu to gbox (goes high on activation)

Might be similar in the 5 speeds but i don't know for sure...

I would be interested to find out more about what is happening in the computers but there doesn't appear to be much info around.

Well I must say i am after similar info (which I also can't seem to find on the net). My R32 5 speed auto is really on its way out. Prob never looked after from the start and I want to fit in a R33 DET 4 speed (3 + O/D for the purists) with the associated gearbox ECU but I wonder if it is straight forward. Are the signals all going one way? i.e. from engine ECU to gearbox ECU.

Essentially I'd like to know if I can get the R32 RB25DE ECU to operate the R33 RB25DET gearbox ECU without hiccups. Thanks for your opinions :laugh:

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!

    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.
