Hi All,

A mate has a R33 Series 1 which he has had a Series 2 block installed. However, the car now will not start. The car just doesnt seem to want to kick over.

I believe he has a set of Spitfire ignitor coils for Series 2 and he has had the wiring redone on the ignition side so it is compatible with the Series 1 setup. Was this required? would Series 1 ignitor coils in conjunction with the Series 1 ignitor pack work with the Series 2 block?

I've also heard that the wiring for the crank angle sensor needs to be re-wired as well.. is this true?

Lastly, the only things i can think of that could be causing the problem is that the crank angle sensor is faulty or the immobolizer is kicking in. My mate did have an alarm on his car, however is now not working.

So if anyone can help out, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

Regards

Steve

you can't use S2 splitfires and an ignition module from a S1. S2 have inbuilt ignitors so make sure that has been taken care off.

The S2 has a WHOLE heap of changes in sensors, i think i have a S1.5, a bit of both. The S2 cas is different to S2 and so forht. But aslong as the S2 block has all the S1 sensors, it should work fine.

Okay....

I pretty definite he's got S2 Spitfire ignitor coils and the wiring re-done..

I dont think he has the S2 ECU.

I dont think he has the S2 AFM but i'll double check.

Lastly when WogsRus says "as long as the S2 block has all the S1 sensors" ... is it as easy as taking it off the S1 block and putting it onto the S2 block? or is their re-wiring to be done?

Thanks again... probably cant do much till the weekend so anymore help til then will be great.

If he has S2 spitfires he may need a S2 ecu.

no he won't. i have run a s1 ecu on a s2. he would just need to remove the ignitor pack, and have the wiring sorted.

was it just the block that was changed, or the whole motor, or a mix of parts? if it was just the block then it would be in the wiring of the coils. it may be that there is an earth problem with the coil wiring.

make sure your fuel lines are around the correct way too...

bit hard to give advise without being told what it is, and isnt doing when turning the key.

does it start after spraying carbie cleaner/rp7 in the intake?

Ok...update...

My mate is still running the S1 ignitor coils back to his S1 ignitor pack...Will this work?

So what the car is doing.. when the key is turned over you can hear the car trying to kick over but just cant make the last jump (ie almost almost almost nothing).

My mate that installed the block (a friend of mine and a mechanic) has done a rb25/30 conversion with forgies etc to his own skyline and its up and running without a problem. He's puzzled on what could be causing it.. he does think its immobiliser so i assuming he's checked fuel etc...

Tomorrow we'll go through checking earthing, loose wiring etc to see if we could find out anything. Lastly, as i mentioned above in my first post, is there different wiring between the S1 and S2 CAS? are you able to put the S1 CAS in the S2 motor? i believe they look different.

Once again, more help would be great. thanks again to all.

    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • 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  
    • 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..
