Hey guys,

I'm going to be picking up an S1 cluster for my GTR this weekend as the S2 doesn't work properly, issues with the electricals or something causing the ODO and fuel guage to not work properly. I am wondering how hard it is to swap these out? Is it a case of take out the dash undo plugs, install new one put back together and go?

hehe yeah. I had done it once with my ole' VL many many moons ago, just not sure about the dash setup for the R32's. I am wondering aswel, being that I have an S2 cluster in there at the moment, would I have to get it calibrated for the S1? Or you think it's likely it was never done for the S2? Just so as the speedo is not out at all ..... Guess the easiest way would be to speed test next to another car heh

Okie dokie, finally got around to installing the new cluster today (had to switch out some of the bulbs from the old one but no biggie) and I have noticed 2 things. The water temp guage does not work (when you turn the ignition to accessories it maxes out then when you kick over ignition it goes flat) and the rev tacho is not working. However ODO and trip counter now working which is waht I wanted. I have put the old one back in again for now.

I was wondering, what would be causing this issue? Would it be the PowerFC? Because it was originally calibrated for the S2 cluster? And then of course would I need to get it recalibrated for the S1 ?

Cheers

The one that is currently installed is the S2 and the one I was installing is a S1 cluster, which the water temp and rev tacho don't work in at the moment. I'm only replacing the cluster because the S2 I have at the moment doesn't have a working odometer or trip counter, the ODO I need to keep track of for me log book.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      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
