I read your thread title and thought, "how the heck can it run without a main fuse!?" then I checked my fuse box too...

By that logic my car shouldn't be running either! :( No main fuse.

For RWD don't you have to remove two fuses? Not just the top left (or wherever?). I assume you've checked them all but the fact that there is no ABS and no 4WD implies they are linked. That or your rotors are shagged and your ATTESSA reservoir is empty! :P

you legend cowie. yeah i read on another forum that someone else's gtr is also missing the main fuse. :(

my attesa problem gets more and more curious.

can't seem to get a stable reading of resistance across the control unit/g sensor terminals but maybe i'm just not doing it right. that said, voltage seems to be stable 8v for both plugs on the g sensor...hmmm maybe i should make a separate post about that too...

i am missing three fuses in the cabin - in this pic i'm missing 33, 34 and 35 but i have no idea if they'd affect attesa.

hey mine is missing also!!

i wonder if its done on purpose?

Yeah it's weird Steve. There aren't any terminals there either. I wonder if it is taken care of elsewhere? I wonder if the fuse box is common to the R32 motors...? No main fuse seems bizarre.

I'll bet that's why my headlight switch keeps burning out :(

Was helping my gf's dad with his VT Commodore two nights ago. Ran into problems. Long story short, no main fuse! I thought it was odd, but he said he never had one there. Still doesn't, and our problem lay elsewhere in the end.

Go figure?

no fuse for me either !!

Same here.... wtf... doesnt even have the connectors/prongs for the fuse... just an empty socket. Anyone get an answer for this?

I assume seeing as its reproduced on more than just mine that its not a problem??

Does anyone know what is connected to the "MAIN" fuse ? I swapped a RB25 in my R32 and even when I remove the key, something is still taking power. I removed the "MAIN" fuse and it stops.

      Rb25det s1 igniter pin out

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It's definitely not firing order. But I think it should also be made clear that the output that gets fired is the one that corresponds to the input that was switched at the ECU. So you could scramble them up totally so that the numbers meant nothing, and so long as you had the inputs and outputs matched up, you'd be fine. The reason I make that point is that blanket statements about what it is supposed to be don't always hold out in a world where there's been 30 years for the wiring to have been stuffed with.

      Rb25det s1 igniter pin out

      By EndZee · Posted

      Hello, im asking about this guy - coil igniter on rb25det series 1 r33 s1 engine. I need to know if pins on coil side indicate coils itself from 1-6 or it’s firing order so pin nr1 goes to 1st fired spark plug:(1pin-1firing spark, 2pin-5order firing spark, 3-3, 4-6, 5-2, 6-4…)   photo: https://files.fm/f/k9pdug38uq

      Powder coat on mating surface

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Remove it. Certainly from the hub face. I'm not in love with leaving it on the wheel assembly surface either - but if it is common to do so, then....maybe fair enough. It's not difficult. Just time consuming. For the hub face you just need a large enough block and suitable grades of abrasive paper to get it off flat. The same would be true of the assembly face. Just more time consuming, probably needing a lot more care. It's defo going to be easier just to assemble the wheels as is, seal them up, and check them periodically to see if there's any movement or loosening of the fasteners, than it will be to remove it though.

      Powder coat on mating surface

      By dyl33 · Posted

      Hello, I got my wheels powder coated and they've powder coated bloody everything the mating surface and hub (even told them not to lol) anyway should I leave it or remove it. (Would be very hard) I've searched a lot and lots of powder coaters don't mask the mating surface but do mask the hub surface. How bad it powder coat on the mating surface or hub? My question is what should I do?

      R34 Gt Auto Tuning

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, R34 with RB25DE likely has a 4AX01 box in it, which is a medium duty auto ~ with the RB25DET mill, it would've been fitted with 4AX00 (4AX13) heavy duty build (same case, different internals). An RB25DET will lunch on a medium duty 4R01 auto in pretty short order ...to give you some visual idea of differences between the 'medium' and 'heavy duty' boxes, you only have to look at the 2/4 band for comparison...it's chalk and cheese...(plus bigger high clutch, extra pinion in the planetary sets, higher oil pump output, different bearings, higher TC stall speed )... You can control them with just about any aftermarket TCU for electric-over 4-speed with TC lockup clutch (ie; the GM 4L60E and others)...I have a custom standalone TCU that includes MAP sensor (for turbo applications) along with TPS, RPM, and line pressure monitoring...in other words, I don't use any ECU signals...no real need to.
