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!

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
