You should run relays for ECU, fuel pump, injectors and coil packs. Don't forget the CAS and Idle control both need a 12V feed so some of the ECU manufacturers fail in their instructions. Then just your normal sensor 5v to the others (TPS and Coolant temp etc)

If it's a track car, make sure you avoid using solder as the vibrations from a high revving track car can cause wiring problems later in life. Pretty much every plug on your engine can be sourced from Superior Connection. Re pin everything for a completely bulletproof loom

Well it's mainly the body loom I'm re doing. Motor loom is gonna be the stock r33 loom just neatened up. Does the stock loom already have the relays built in for injectors and coilpacks? And it will have the 12v feed for CAS and idle control already I think.

Also with relaying the ecu, do I need one for both constant and ign?

Yes you will need constant & ignition trigger, fuel pump trigger. If you have a look at my link below you will see what you need. Rb25, Rb20 looms are pretty similar NOT identical

If you are using the factory loom it should already have those relays. The only additional ones you should ever need is injectors and coil packs. It's not mandatory but the more constant voltage you can get to critical engine components, the better.

If the loom is rated to the required current draw there should be no need for these, if there is a voltage drop it suggests the loom is damaged or old and a relay is just a bandaid fix anyway, however most people are using old stock looms so there is probably a benefit in using them here.

If you are wiring it all up from scratch just use the correct guage wire and don't bother though.

Based on what he said in his previous post:

"Well it's mainly the body loom I'm re doing. Motor loom is gonna be the stock r33 loom just neatened up."

Having dedicated relays for spark and injection isn't a bandaid fix for anything. It can be a bandaid fix, but there is certainly ways to improve Nissan's design. Dedicated power is a very good idea if you are chasing reliable horsepower and even more so when you have a track car

What I was getting at is the standard loom should provide dedicated reliable power to those things at all times, if it doesn't then it means the wiring is faulty, they wouldn't have designed a loom that doesn't power ignition properly under all circumstance, hence adding a relay doesn't improve the situation, unless of course the loom is faulty in which case I think it is a bandaid solution and the loom should be fixed.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
