Driving home last night, and i put my foot down, the rev needle went up to around 4000, 5000 rpm and started to flicker back down to 0 then up to 5 again...

It kept happenin in a spliut second flick down to 0 then back up again..

I pulled up then took off again and it happened again...only happens when i put my foot down, its like a nervous twitch or something

It has to be something wrong with my electrics? Anyone else had a similar prob and can provide some feedback

Thanks in advance!

if it only happens when u put your foot down which means u are obviously running through the rpms range quite quckly it seem that maybe the motor/system for the tacho has worn or something like that and just cant keep up with the quick rpms to be displayed as it can when u the tacho climbs slowly in normal driving. Or it could be something that pushead stated above. My 2 Cents

what i did with mine is take the entire cluster out of the dash and have a closer look at it. play around with the needle but DO NOT put any pressure on it as you can bend the needle or accidentally change the alignment of it quite easily. The needle has a range 3/4 of the gauge. simply move the needle clockwise and you can feel this with your fingers whether the needle is smooth climb or not. (Note: I held no responsibility if you damage this as the needle is really sensitive) :P :P

      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

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      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.
