GTR-Ben and BHDave, Thanks for the great advice guys! Really helps clear things up for me when you guys take the time to type out the above. We should get some sort of 'Virtual Beer' credit setup on SAU so i could shout these lads a beer for their efforts!

Just a couple more questions

1. What is the SMJ?

2. What type of adaptor did you use for the heater hoses?

3. What is an EGR valve?

Sorry I didn't finish guys.. lol

SMJ = Super Multi Junction. Thats the big plug by the ECU on the Rb25 rather than have several small plugs like the R32.

EGR = Exhaust Gas Recirculation. I think he means the ACC valve?

Heater hose adaptors.. $5 ones from repco will do it. The size of the RB25 is large 19mm or so where the R32 size into the firewall is 16mm or so.

Now for the wires.. I didn't hook up A/C as there was none.

In the R32 engine bay there are 2 plugs by the passanger side headlight.

You use 3 wires from one of them only. The other plug is for an Auto.

The 3 wires on the R32 are (Black/Red, White/Purple, White/black) the 2 large ones, are for the power to relays etc, the White/Black is power to sensors etc.

Now in the same location there is a single plug that runs from the RB25DET. From this it is only the grey wire that is spliced into the Black/White on the R32 plug. This is power for the injectors.

Under the dash at the SMJ you need to run 3 good sized wires up to the 3 in the engine bay on the R32 plug.

There is a Red/Black, Red and a Black/White

R33---------------------------R32

Black/Red---------------->White/Purple

Red------------------------>Black/Red

Black/White-------------->White/Black. (has the grey injector wire also attached to it.)

This is all that is needed for the car to run.

Now you just need to attach water temp, fuel pump relay and tacho under the dash.

On the R32 under dash loom there are two plugs. The colours are similar.. you need to use the ones on the smaller or the two. 14pin. The other has 18.

R33----------------------------R32

Blue/Black ---------------->Blue/Black. Water Temp. ( you also need to use the RB25DET engine sender. (single wire)

Yellow/Blue---------------->Yellow/Red. Tacho

Black/Pink------------------>Black/Pink. Fuel pump.

Ok I think thats it... Beer credits would be good. :)

I may have missed something.. i'm sure others can fill any holes.

When i talk about the egr i mean the second valve on the plenum that is effectively an anti stall for when the car is cold (or so i have been told). Also found out today that the second plug going to the aac valve on the rb25 is supposed to be triggered by the AC on to step up the idle speed rather than having the other side of the aac compensate as in the r32.

There are a couple more wires in the under dash plug that you may want to hook up but they are not esssencial. These are the fuel pump speed control, exhaust temp light, engine check light, ac on input, and the consult CHK, TX, CLK and RX and i think, though i'm not 100% that the earth and power for the consult plug are connected in here too.

In the big plug at the front i have found that the ac relay trigger wire and power steering idle up trigger are in it as well as the neutral switch to ecu input and injector power that ben mentioned.

And then you need to run 3 wires for the constant power and switched power for the ECU and switched power for the ignition relay as ben stated.

My r32 actually has the same big plug in the front corner as the r33 loom but earlier models that i have worked on have a 4 pin with the main power and power steering idle stepper.

g'day im looking at doing a rb25det conversion from a r33 s2 into my r32 gtst and using a rb25 wiring harness. Is there much of a differenence in the harness from s1 to s2? Can someone directly experienced with this conversion help with a detailed wiring conversion? muchly appreciated

the power wires for the 25det are wer the cefiro rb20de power wires are (ECU POWER IGN PWER) just next to pwer steering pump and resovior,now i can see to find the aac and the power to injecters wires.so im at this hump at this moment,

PS this site is so fkun helpfull honestly im in the wopwoops in NZ and no ! knows nuffn apart from here say sh1t :worship:

      Turn signal wiring question

      Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Turn signal wiring question

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
