Hi Guys,

i am wiring up my series 2 RB25DET and getting it ready to put in my 240K.. i have wired up most of the connections on the right hand side of the engine, but the left side is giving me some trouble.

i would really appreciate it if anybody knows what these connections are? i need to connect them up i assume.

I will try to describe it as best as i can (and provide colours); the wiring harness comes out of the firewall and then slits into 2, one going behind the engine and to the right hand side (under the manifold and to the front of the engine), and the other goes up the left side of the engine somewhere.

Left hand side harness (from back to front):

small brown box (some sort of control box or something) 7 wires - blue/red, blue/yellow, brown/white, brown, orange, black, purplepost-124-1147000082.jpg

connector coming off near brown box (it was cut on my loom) 2 wires - Black, green/blackpost-124-1147000117.jpg

exhaust O2 sensor

3 wire connector - Orange/Blue, White/blue, Black/White -EDIT- this is the AFM sensor post-124-1147000159.jpg

2 wire connector - Blue/white, light green - maybe AC? although the AC compressor only seems to have a single wire connector

heavy duty 5 wire connector - Blue/Red, green/orange, light blue, green/red, yellowpost-124-1147000240.jpg

i assume one of these are the AFM connector, however the AFM i have (for RB25DET) has 5 connectors, so it doesn't match any of these, so i may have a seres 1 AFM which could be different.

There is also another block of connections with 5 connectors on it, right behind the engine (just near the firewall hole) it has the colours; light green/Black, black, light green/Red, Orange, blue/redpost-124-1147000292.jpg

any help will be greatly appreciated as always!

Fun isn't it?

Alrighty.. off the back of my conversion.. it's fairly fresh in my mind so here goes.. (Note I gained a lot off bh_slo32, and col-gtsx.. thanx for their help!) Now I pass it on..

Some of it is a bit general, others can probably be more specific, or point out any errors. :(

small brown box (some sort of control box or something) 7 wires - blue/red, blue/yellow, brown/white, brown, orange, black, purplepost-124-1147000082.jpg

That's your wiper amplifier. It may be required to get your wipers working, or at least change speeds? Probably not very important to start with, worry about that later.

connector coming off near brown box (it was cut on my loom) 2 wires - Black, green/black

This sounds like the boost control solenoid... Again, probably not very important, unless you must maintain a factory setup in every way. Photos of this would help.

2 wire connector - Blue/white, light green - maybe AC? although the AC compressor only seems to have a single wire connector

Which side? left/right? Think I might know the one... If it's the one I'm thinking of it may be optional. Is it up close to where the loom enters the firewall? Photos of this would help.

heavy duty 5 wire connector - Blue/Red, green/orange, light blue, green/red, yellowAttached Image

That's one of your main enginebay plugs. Light blue is engine check light (to dash).. Green/orange is one of the consult a signals (TX or RX) and i think green/red is like consult CHK. Blue/Red is IGN power to wipers. yellow is ? (i left mine empty).

There should be a grey one here too? This is for 12v (I think its 12v IGN) injector voltage. It's important to have this hooked up or car won't start.

3 wire connector - Orange/Blue, White/blue, Black/White -EDIT- this is the AFM sensor Attached Image

I don't believe so, it should be 4 pins I think for the AFM.. Looks like the plug to the CAS to me..

There is also another block of connections with 5 connectors on it, right behind the engine (just near the firewall hole) it has the colours; light green/Black, black, light green/Red, Orange, blue/red

That's your actual wiper plug.. plugs into the wiper motor

Anyhow, hope this points you in some right directions.

Thanks for that!

does anybody have any photo's of the boost solenoid? (or better yet, one they can sell me :(, unfortunately the connector on this one has been ripped off, so i have no idea what it would look like

the blue/White, light green connector is somewhere on the air filter side of the engine, it is a fair way down the loom, after the single wire termintated thingy, near the AFM cable

from what i have found the series 2 AFM has 3 wires, the Series 1 had 4 i think.

with regards to the last 5 wire connector at the end of this loom (picture number 3), should another loom fit into this? again this would be somewhere near the air filter i assume. what would the check light and consult signals be doing around here? wouldn't they be on the inside of the car generated by the ECU?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
