I have a m35 which has red wires going through the whole car connected to everything with piggy backs and then they are all coiled up where the ecu is they have japanese yellow stickers with a description on it. Where they there for an after market ecu or computer. My model is a 2002 does anyone have these in there car and what they might of been for.

do you have any idea what some of the things are that its spliced into? is the coiled up bit near the ecu connected to anything?

if the wires are running all through the car i would say that its not for an aftermarket piggyback ecu, because if it was they would be in the area of the ecu only. my best guess is that they are wires for a removed alarm system.

They are connected to most of the positive feeds around the car, lights blinkers, looks like all the signal wires from sensors and they are definately all coiled up near the ecu and look like they were never connected. I would have to disagree about the alarm system because there is about 40 red wires and alarms dont need this many and they wouldnt be all red its got to be something else

Dunno but my series I has lots of wires from the ecu connected to a little grey factory box going nowhere and seems to be just a common earth. Maybe yours has a common positive.

The fact they are all the same colour would make me think it could be for an alarm system too.

The high quality systems have all black wiring so thieves can't work out what wire does what. Maybe this is the same only red.

Once its all hooked up to the ECU and working you pull the red stickers off and noone will have any idea what goes where.

Or maybe I'm totally wrong.

Back to my original question now that I took some photos of the red wires the other day. I also found down by the kick panel a plug that went back into the consult plug with an S video type plug on one end for a computer or something. I have slowly been taking these out as they are all connected to live wires around the car and are just coiled up near ecu at the moment. Because i dont wont any shorts. So I just wanted to know if it might of been for factory testing or a prototype for something

The red wires all over the car arent connected to anything one end and the wiring for all the other features is multi coloured. Thats why I thought that they might of been for testing different computers

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
