ok i have 2 decks with me, both 4x50w, 1 is pioneer with 1 set of RCA outputs, and the other is kenwood with 3 sets of RCA outputs 1 goes through the sub control. later on i was thinking of putting in a 4 channel amp and sub (please dont try compare diff types of subs and amps, i can get a 4channel amp and 12" sub for very cheap off a mate) so for the pioneer deck ill have to use 2 of those double adapter cables (1 male input, 2 female outputs) 1 for the red and 1 for the white, as for the kenwood deck the RCA's will plug straight in + ill have sub control. id rather be using the pioneer deck because its got an auxillary input in the front and the kenwood's face seems to half pop out when the face flips down.

would there be much of a difference in quality and performance of the system using the kenwood over the pionner the way im hooking it all up? if it helps ive got alpine type s splits in the front and rear.

Try Mobileelectronics Australia. I'd saying duplicating the pre out's wouldn't be the best idea.

I've got a Pioneer with USB that has 3 pre-out's, front, sub and rear is there, I'm only using front and maybe sub one day :)

I think the one with the sub control.

i had a pioneer with 1 set of RCA connected to my alpine V12 amp which powered 2 12" kickers and i didnt lik the way it was soundin. felt like i couldnt control the Sub sound and felt helpless lol

i currently have a pioneer with Sub control deh-p4050UB and it sounds really good with the 2 Kicker Subs.

i have never used a kenwood Deck, but would choose that since it has Sub control and (might have High pass filter and stuff). but its better you get someone elses opinion over this coz i really dont know bout Kenwood.

if the kenwood has 3 pre outs its obviously a better deck, and newer model with lots more flexibility for amps

use the kenwood mate. unless you plan on running just basic speakers in front with a small sub setup(either one will work for that) , anything more then that and you will want the extra options the Kenwood offers.

both are good brands. I have both myself Kenwood in R31, Pioneer in R34...lol

    • 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..
    • 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.
