I'm in the midst of revamping my R32, which has a Neo RB25DET. It's running a Power FC R34 ECU/engine harness. I'm adding the Power FC Boost Controller. However, being a Frankensteined car/engine, I knew it didn't have the R34's boost solenoid, but I found it doesn't have the connector that would have gone to it. So the engine wiring harness was modified previously for the installation. On the harness going forward on the side of the bay, it only has connectors for the O2 sensor, one of the fwd harness mating connectors and the MAF.  

I went digging, first looking at the ECU's connector to see what wire is there. Looking at diagrams, it's pin 104... but there's no wire there. I've attached pics of what told me it's pin 104 and pics of my ECU connector missing that pin. I believe the pins and wires not needed for the install into the R32 were removed. So now I'll be adding the pin terminal and wiring.  

I'm here to see if anyone with RB25DET Neo ECU experience can confirm that my sources for pin 104 are correct?  Looking at the diagrams, it should be pretty easy to wire in since the power source is shared by pin 1 on the O2 sensor in the same harness, which is powered in the ignition switch's ON position.

Now I know ditching the Power FC Boost Controller is an option. However, I don't want another device taking up space on the dash or in the glove box. So I want to keep this boost controller method.  Thanks for any advice/tips!

104 is correct.

It's not hard to drag a cable through the ECU loom's gland in the corner of the firewall. Just need to remove as much as you can to make it possible to poke a stiff lead wire through alongside the loom and then tape on and pull back. This is how I have all the extra wiring for my boost control solenoid, exhaust pyro, etc coming through there (R32 with Neo also).

Just getting back to this after being unable to get away from work to do the wiring.  Thanks for the confirmation!  I had to get a harness pin kit and wired it in today.  Hopefully I'll try running the car in the next few days and be able to make sure it's working.  Thanks again!

    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
