Rb25 Starting/ignition Issues Any Help Appreciated!

Hey all,

If this needs re-directing to another forum please do not hesitate to do so.

I have just finished reinstalling the RB25 into my R32 Coupe, all be it with a new turbo, front mount, ecu etc..

however, on going to turn the key this is what I found:

Dash lights come on, but when I go to turn the key to the starting stage I get NOTHING. (I swear I heard the starter solinoid flick over once)

Then, with the key removed the dash lights STAY ON?, its not until I disconnect the battery that they turn off again.

I removed the immobiliser, but I am reletivaly experienced and it was a pretty straight foward job, everything is now back to factory.

Its a factory manual, but the issue is exactly like that of when a auto-manual conversion has been done and the sensor for the automatic "park position" hasent been wired correctly (car thinking its in a driving gear) I dont get the starter solinoid noise, nothing. and keep in mind that this is a factory manual car and the trans has not been played with at all.

Im pretty sure its nothing too major, as not alot has been played with here, but im stumped as to what it is.

Any help appreciated!

Cheers.

    • Y'know what, after reading a topic on a 360kw build using a nistune (who ended up going LINK), im now considering a LINK over a nistune. The engine protection alone would probably be worth it. And id like to learn to tune so would be nice to have that safe guard. Which means i probably wont need a boost controller then, or the R35 MAF.  Becoming a bit of a blog now but oh wells. As mentioned previously, the goal is around 300kw, for a daily driver. Will be looking at fitting a highflow turbo or similar (something that doesnt require downpipes, manifolds etc to be changed out) when the current stock gives out or the money for it is there. 
    • Thanks guys. Are you meant to tighten the converter bolts through the starter motor hole? Think my plate between gearbox and engine is one piece. Im heading up there tomorrow.
    • Picked my tailshaft up yesterday arv!! Test fit it and because they've gone to a ford centre bearing and CV I had to modify the mounting bracket a little bit. 5mm of each side and she went up into position and fits well. It has a 1350 uni and flange on the gearbox end so it should be plenty strong!  Got stuck in this morning and started on the wiring mess. Cut out all the wires not required that go to the body connector and cut the engine harness out. Need to go through and work out which ones I need to keep and rewire into the new ecu. Should save a small amount of weight as well. I'd love to get in and rip the dash and everything out to completely remove wiring but cbf.  Next up was the power harness for alternator, starter etc. It has a few connectors from factory that run out of it. Cut it all apart and removed what was no longer required and put some new corro and taped it all back up and bolted it all back into place.  After that I worked out where I can mount the new flex sensor. Found a couple of factory bolt holes and drilled a new hole on the bracket to suit. Need to go get a few fittings and adapters tomorrow so I can keep going.   
    • Nah, im after the more newer looking, one with the OLED display
    • We revised the neutral wire instructions. The old way was wrong.  R34 gearbox change.pdf
