Hi I am after some info please. I am currently fitting an RB20DET into my 180sx. I am rebuilding the engine as a freshen up so I am a few weaks away. Anyway what my question is regarding the resistor that has 2 wires out of it that is placed up on the passenger side strut tower. What is it for? The reason I ask is after looking in some magazines and looking at S13's with RB's in them, this resistor is in place. The fella who made up my loom so it plugs into the 180sx plugs, say's it is not necessary....But after seeing it in place on other cars has got me a little worried. I don't want to finish my conversion, plug in the harness then boom! Something blows up, I won't be happy! So if someone can please tell me what the resistor is for it would appreciated. It sits in the R32 (I have still got the resistor as I removed the harness myself and sent it to him) in the middle on the passener side strut tower next to the turbo. Thanks

Not 100% sure but I belive that it could be a Noise suppresion condensor for the ignition. I think that this means that the ground for the ignition is routed through this and that the car may not start without it unless the ignition has been grounded elsewhere. Without it there may also be problems with noise which may be evident by a noise on the car stereo. I don't think that not having it is going to blow anything up.

Again I'm not 100% sure on this as I have not finished wiring mine up but I can double check if you like.

      Rb head oil drain dimensions

      By Papichulo96 · Posted

      Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.

      yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
