hey lads, doing an rb25 conversion into an s13, using the rb25 loom and ecu, have (well i think i have) all powers and earths wired into the car and ecu, etc... (Couldnt find a wiring table anywhere for it, just have to go by the wiring diagrams for both cars).. Now i have everything working as it should, just no signal coming from the ecu for the coilpacks, have signal leaving the CAS, injectors are clicking, fuel pump relay working, everything else seems to be working as it should, even have a power and earth at the coilpack, just no signal?? anyone got any idea's??

have checked the ecu, have no signal leaving it, just a very small (weak) constant earth...

Another thing i have noticed, if i leave th ign turned on for 5 min's or so the igniter pack get seriously warm, when i checked the power going to it, seems to be coming back though the coil packs to it? maybe this is normal? i dunno...

now, only thing i havent wired up yet are knock sensors? shouldnt have ay affect on the spark? should it?

Any help would be appericated....

Knock sensors have no effect on the workings of the coils.

Coils have power, then feed power to the ignitor, then each ignitor circuit is switched to earth by the ECU.

Yeah, i thought so..

So, why would the ecu not be sending a signal? the signals seem to be coming from the CAS to the ecu..

What did I say? The ECU DOES NOT have an output signal - it switches the ignitor to earth to fire the coil.

Is this question because the coils don't actually fire?

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
