Do a search for "Z32". this has been posted about many times before. Unless you're going for big, big power, (400hp+) spend your dosh elsewhere. IMHO you should check out rev210's sticky threads in the performance section if you want to get the most from your Skyline.

The Z32 is an excellent upgrade if you are maxxing out your standard air flow meter (ie: 5 volts)

I have done this upgrade on several R32 GTSt's that have had turbo upgrades. One car was maxxing the stock AFM at around 5000 rpm on low boost.

If you max out your AFM it means the ECU has no idea how much air it's getting, so as a precaution it just dumps in loads of fuel.

The factory ECU in R32's are easily modified, and I have some excellent maps for the z32 upgrade.

My old R32 is now running around 200 rwkw from the RB20 with a high flowed turbo, FMIC, 3" Exhaust and pod filter.

Feel free to call on 0411 878 961 if you'd like to discuss it further.

Yes. More than that you need one to use it. It still gives 0 - 5VDC, but the 5V is a high flow. Putting it in without something to rescale it would mean your ECU thinking there was lower flow that what you are getting. Bad

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
