Hey guys not sure if its the right section but anyways. Have all the ecu hooked up and everything else

Need help with the wiring guys. I have it all done just no fuel, cant here the pumps running and i have done this:

The first thing you'll need is a 12V 30Amp relay.

Connect one side of the of the relay COIL to wire 49.

Connect the other side of the relay COIL to ECU pin 18 on the ECU.

Connect one side of the relay CONTACTS to the INNER conductor of the shielded cable. Should be the white (W) wire. (This is from an r31 or a pintara not sure) I just connected it to the violet wire which is to the fuel pumps

Connect the other side of the relay CONTACTS to earth on the cars body. Now the relay will cut the fuel pumps earth when the engine stops or it has finished priming.

However this has not worked and I have got no pumps???? Its kinda got me stuffed

The conversion is from an r32 gtst silver top rb20det into a vl

Basically the information regarding wire 49 and 18 is correct and relevant, because it's a VL but you will be looking at a slightly different body loom/wire colour scheme as you mention. From memory 49 is IGN and 18 earths out via the ECU to trigger the fuel pump relay.

Find the existing VL fuel relay in the car, then look at the diagram on the top of the relay to find the trigger, the thin gauge wires are generally your trigger. Using the trigger wires, wire one side to pinout 49 and the other side to pinout 18. Then establish if the pump needs 12v or ground in order to run with the IGN on, then wire relay accordingly.

The R31 pumps get 12v on IGN, then ground out via the relay, some pumps are the opposite depending on the vehicle in question.

If you have done all of the above, go back with a multimeter and re-check what your getting on pin 49, that is usually the culprit. Make sure your ECU grounds are bolted down as well.

OK OFFICALLY DOING MY HEAD IN!!!! ARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!

Now, I have this

A wire from pin 49 from ecu to Relay

A wire from pin 18 from ecu to Relay

A wire from earth to relay

A wire to the fuel pumps on relay

What do I do now. Im confussed!

I think what your trying to say is this. I have that part set up right and all I need to do now is:

Find the trigger wire off the factory vl relay and put it to the same wire as pin 49 on the relay?? Yes/no

Now there is 2 relays factory on the vl for the fuel pump

Ok guys, new day new mind on things :)

What I have now....

Disgarded relay that i put in.

Have a dark green wire from the vl loom which is trigger i think. So I connected it to pin 18 on ecu which is fuel pump relay

Pin 104 on ecu I have put the violet wire too from the vl loom which is to the fuel pumps

Ok turned the key, it primed but backwards.... So what do i do now to change it so its forwards??

thanks guys

Its flowing backwards and blowing bubbles in the tank. Instead of flowing to the fuel rail its pupming the other way. So in other words flowing backwards (the wrong way)

Pin 104 is what controls the pump thought yeah? Which its connected to the positive wire that runs to the pumps, which is violet

All sorted guys. Thanks for your help!

Feel like a bit of a dick......I could here bubbles and thought it was flowing backwards..ended up being the fuel lines around the wrong way on the fuel rail and it was blowing buubles in my surge tank!

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
