hey guy just need help or suggestions with my wiring/engine. i have a vl calais with an r34 neo engine and manual box. bigger turbo, bigger injectors, aftermarket greddy plenum so wiring also dosnt fit. have standard computer etc. spent ages wiring up as loom was cut in several spots. managed to get it to a stage where it was cranking but would fire. had no injector pulse or spark. cas is new but had to use harness plug from rb 20 to fit. after a few weeks of playing got over it and ripped whole harness out. ive heard ill need and aftermarket comp anyway and also heard that rb25 wiring will fit just will have to use r33 aftermarket comp such as apexi power fc? so what do you think i should do. either go with that set up to save dramas or send my harness out somewhere if possible to be wired up correct. any help would be appreciated as ive searched heaps of places and sites etc over the last few months. all where helpful but not mush info at all. cheers

really there quite a few things i can think of to check, you may need to be more descriptive about what is and isn't working? fuel pump priming, ecu got power, etc.

and yes, if you have a bigger turbo and bigger injectors you will need and aftermarket ecu. depending on what ecu you choose, if you can get the standard engine loom wiring up right you might be able to get a plug in ecu. if you cant get the wiring sorted then just get a full wire in aftermarket ecu.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
