anyone here know how to wire a microtech in to a rb25 in vl a workshop wants to charge me a fortune because i have done all the mechanical work for the rb25 in my vl but nothing has been wiring in all the rrb25 wiring loom is on the motor just not wired into the vl.

Hi Joel ,Mate Try ROTOMOTION ,

To be HONEST i seen many a Car which someone has tryed to do what your now doing & IF you do have a problem it will cost much more to strip & repair the mistake,

They have a lot of VL`s in having all what your doing to your`s.

There a better PRICED WORKSHOP then many other`s & to be HONEST MIKE is one of best guy`s that tune with Microtech,

Ps call me about HKS lowmount,

cheer`s Chuckie.

yeah i was thinking that just i been slowly pulling all the wiring harness for the fuse box back through due to having the engine bay painted and it just seems to be becoming a bigger and bigger job than i thought and seems to be getting over what i wanted to spend on wiring and tuning. ill give you a call regarding the hks lowmount tomorrow

have you already got a microtech and loom for it?

Mate of mine has one ready to go....

yeah i already have a microtech lt12s with hand controller loom and x6 ignition and 6 bosch coils

It's a labour thing as it can take several hours, get a few tools and clips and slowly follow the manual, if you are not confident to physically start it up have it running use the factory gear and have your new loom ready in place to take over the ignition and fuel.

nothing is wired in yet so i dont really want to touch it because i wouldnt have a clue

Unfortunately you may have to pay for the 5 or 6 hours to set it up at a workshop, at least you have confidence that your car will not transform into a barbecue doing it yourself lol

yeah exactly im not very confident with any wiring thats why i prefer to get it done elsewhere wiring is not my expertise

DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR TO ROTOMOTION.

I have taken my skyline there and had nothing but trouble.

Rotomotion will do things like:

You take your car there to ask them to run it on the dyno, check your afr's and see what it's making power wise. Should take 15 minutes. They'll keep it for a week, when it was booked in for a single day, then when you pick it up you'll get a stupid excuse like "Oh, there was a car/box/feather in the way". Seriously, I know there's a rotomotions account on here, if there is a car in the way of your dyno, how about just just move it?

You take your car to do a fuel pump, they quote you x amount, when you pick it up (again several days after they had told you it'd be done) it's double that. A year later you go to a real workshop and they tell you that you need to redo all of their work because the wiring is dodgey.

You take your car for a clutch job, they take much longer than expected, charge you much more than they quoted, and then after a week it all comes apart because they haven't installed it properly.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR TO ROTOMOTION.

Seriously, shits me that people still talk about going there as if it's the best place in the world. I've heard nothing but bad things about them and had several bad experiences myself.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
