The door open light won't go away on my 32 GTR. I've noticed about a month back that the cabin dome light would flicker on and off when I close the door.

I have checked both door sensor and they works fine. The boot light turns off when I shut the boot, so thats working too, although I don't think the 32s have a boot sensor?

Just wondering if any one else on this forum have experienced this problem? There must be an exposed wire somewhere thats grounding sensors. Anyone knows how does the wiring go? I have a feeling it might be my alarm system.

all i know about the door switch is, as you probably already know, when the door is opened the switch moves out and it grounds the wire on the back of it to the chasis. i'd say your right in thinking that one of the door switch wires either has, damaged insulation and is grounding itself out somewhere. or the connection for the alarm wasn't re-insulated properly and is grounding itself.

to check if its one of the door switch lines that is grounding out. when you have the problem, pull the door switch out and use a multimeter set up for a continuity test, and test between the wire at the back of the switch to the chasis. if you get continuity then that line is grounding out somewhere. then just trace the wire back and see if you can find where.

I know on the R32 GTS-T there is a boot sensor to. I had the same problem when I got R32 I replaced both door sensors and the problem was still there. What ended up being the issue on my car was the wire that runs to the boot sensor had broken so once I fixed that no more problems. The wire for the boot sensor runs under the drivers door sill garnish (unsure if that is correct name but the plastic garnish near the bottom of the door that says skyline) behind the bottom mount for the seatbelts and through the rear seat. My wire was broken behind the drivers side bottom seatbelt mount.

      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.
