I am about to wire in a solenoid for my rb25, the factory wiring has been removed/shortened/missing.

I have found the factory output wire on the ecu connector but need +12V Ign.

Am I able to use either pin 49/59 as they are switched from eccs relay for the +12V or am I better of running a wire from the Ignition?

Why not look at the original wiring diagram?

As above, wire the mac valve to the original solenoid wiring

got the diagrams and looked over them that's not the issue

who ever did the engine conversion originally, removed half the pins from the engine loom.

I've got the wire on the ecu for the solenoid now I just need +12V. just wanted to keep it neat by using a +12v from ecu

But that's the point. Find out, from the original wiring diagrams, where the factory sourced their 12V from, and do the same as that. They won't have done whatever they did for a bad reason. They would have done it for a good reason. If you source it from the ECU you might introduce some nasty noise into the ECU (from the valve square waving on and off) or you might draw more current than it can handle on that line or any number of other foreseeable (or not foreseeable) possible bad things.

Follow the factory's lead, avoid those possible problems.

Just another question does the MAC solenoid have an outputing voltage or its and inputing voltage. Im asking this because if i sourced the 12V IGN source from the factory solenoid. Where does the second wire go analog/ digital input or ???

The solenoid doesn't care how it is switched. You could either give it permanent 12V on one side and switch it on the earth side, or give it permanent earth on one side and switch 12V onto it from the other.

BUUUUUT...... What really matters is how the ECU wants to switch it. And from what your first post says (assuming you're correct), the ECU will switch the earth side of the solenoid to earth. So the second wire from the MAC valve just connects to the boost control pin on the ECU.

ok i wasnt understanding how it was completing the circuit without the ground. So its connected by 12v then the second wire goes to the ecu boost controll pin. How is the ECU controlling the solenoid, is it applying varied voltage to the solenoid.

nah this is a different case i have stock wiring. Went to a local meet and was told the same to use stock wiring where the old one was located so thats good if said more than once. Just didnt want to start another thread. Not sure if using thw stock will support the boost by gear functions but for now im happy will just wire it on the stock solenoid

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
