Rd28 To Rb20E Swap

Hi.

I just finished installing an rb20e in the nissan laurel. First I used all the wiring from the skyline that the rb20e came out of. It started up and ran good. But I had no lights and was missing a few functions.

This was all after I installed fuel pump in the diesel tank and wired up a relay for the pump.

I decided to remove the skyline harness to install the factory laurel harness, but before I did that I split the harness apart and took out all the rb28 (diesel) wiring

that wasn't needed.

After all that I checked all the lights and features I didn't have before, and they all worked. Now I can't seem to get the engine to start it just roles over and I have no power to the single coil wire.

The only think I can think of is the inhibit relay. After tracing it I notice that the skyline harness has a wire coming from the a/t plug to the inhibit relay that seems to work by sending a ground signal to the only plug that wires into the engine harness.

I think I can work it out but I do really need a wiring diagram for a r33 skyline rb20e ecu. I just can't seem to find the one with the 4 plugs in it. Can any one please help.

Thanks.

Does anyone have the tcm pinout. I drove the car today. But it's not shifting Luke a normal car. I feel some of the tcm wiring are mixed up.

I'm looking for the pinout for a r33 rb20e .

thanks again. I'll post photos soon.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?

      You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.

      The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:

      Dumb rich kid tries modding for the first time

      By Hexi · Posted

      Ohhh I see lol To be honest the main reason why I wanted to start modding is because of a business trip to Japan and Indonesia. I saw many cool and modded cars all throughout in these countries, especially Japan. I myself am of Chinese+Japanese nationality and when living in china (never lived in Japan js my dad side lol) I remember staring at these cars pass by with their loud tacky exhausts and insane wide body kits. And when I went back to Japan, I got even more invested even asking people about their cars and why they modded. Most gave similar answers to what you said but funny enough one guy just said that he saw the need for speed movie being filmed once in Tokyo I think near Shibuya Crossing and got inspired to tune and mod. After that I just started to fantasize on owning a car like that. Also tbh I prefer the R32 over the R34 it's just the R34 is more iconic lol (also apparently better aftermarket support than the R32) and my only goal really is just to make the car mine and make it fun to drive. As much as I love my Cayenne it's pretty bland to drive. Sure the interior is nice and pretty, gives you attention yada yada but I've wanted to experience what it is like to have a car that is truly yours. I suppose thats the goal so far. Haha if you find where I'm from, then sure. Ill help you out on your next "financial decision"

      From what I am discovering, the grey plug is auto signal. If you car is manual it's not relevant to your set up man.
