Hi,

Currently one of my mates had a Series 2 RB25DET motor in his car that melted 2 pistons so we have gone out and bought an RB25DET from an R34 GTST to replace it.

We only got the long motor and coil packs, so we swapped the S2 plenum and turbo onto the new motor (along with all the oil pressure switches) and got everything in the car again looking exactly the way it was, and we went to start it and there was no spark...

My mate runs a microtech and when we cranked it over it had no RPM signal which leads me to beleive that the R34 CAS and the R33 CAS are different and we need to re-wire that as you cant swap them over as the R33 CAS has a star that goes into the cam and the R34 has a half mooned that goes into the cam...

Also while doing this the neo coil packs somehow melted themselves (im assuming because the wiring between the R33 and R34 is different) so we are stuck on what do do with the coil packs as the R33 coil packs dont exactly fit the NEO motor...

Now my main questions are:

- What are the EXACT wiring differences between the R33 and R34 CAS in regards to pins?

- What are the EXACT wiring differences between the R33 and R34 coil pack arrangement? And if there is a way to use the R33 coil packs on a R34 motor what is it?

Any help will be GREATLY appreciated and thanks for reading a really long post!

Further to the PM I sent you..

R33 CAS wiring:

x x x x

1 2 3 4

R34CAS wiring:

x x x x

4 3 2 1

Just reverse the CAS wiring and it'll work.

As for the coil packs I'm not 100% sure what's happened.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
