Hey guys, I've been trying to research this for days, but I have not been able to get the answers I need. I have searched 100's of Google Pics, looked for write ups from various people but I think I can only get the right answers from the people who actually OWN the cars.. The engine is supposedly from an R34, and judging from the ECU connector (since the company hasn't sent me the correct ECU, if you know the number I need, that would be double awesome) it is really from an R34, there are 4 rows, as opposed to 2 on a normal S1/S2 RB25. I can't find any evidence that it's a NEO motor, since it didn't come with the valve cover, and the injectors are side fee. So if you've got that information as well, I'd appreciate it. (I don't mind forking out some paypal fees for whoever helps me out) So here's where I'm at. I took some pictures to show my dilemma.

Here's a picture of my motor how I received it:

I need to know what the connectors in RED go to (yes, I know one is a light, what light?)

Here's a close up of that bundle of wires, I know that they go right around the MAF:

I also need to know about the other half of the wires, the connectors on the right are under the dash, and the connectors at the top are in the engine bay, and most of the wires are contained in that bundle:

here's a close up of those connectors:

I researched Yahoo Auctions Japan and found those two grey connectors go into this box, but one auction says they are an Auto Mission Computer and one says that it's an ABS Computer, it's under the dash:

I'm sorry to hear about your plight Donnie, but you are posting in the wrong section, although some CLASSIC owners have these later models as well.

CLASSIC SKYLINES is for up to and including R31 models, that's 1988/89 sort of era & your R34 is certainly past this.

If you post in the right section you will most certainly get lots of answers.

Below is a list of popular searches, do you think you could see something of interest in there.

Maybe try in other Skyline Imports, or engine specific as above, even the Stagea guys might be able to assist.

That is a Series 2 R33 motor

Not a NEO RB25, so unfortunatley you have been stung there :(

In the top picture, The far left circled plugs look like they are for the coolant temp sensors, a cant see what the other ones are if you get some close up pics I can go check my series 1 loom in the garage

But I dont have a skyline anymore so cant be all that much help

The easiest option would be to drop the motor in. the Ceff Engine bay is similar to the skyline one, once you have done that run the part of the loom with the MAF plug up the left side (drivers side in your case) then you can start to see where everything goes, and most plugs are all individual, so you cant plug the wrong thing in

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".

      What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.

      For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway

      Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.

      My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
