hi all ,after removing boot sub/twin amp setup from my r33,i then installed a new stereo useing the aeropro connectors,

wouldnt work ,connected up a earth where the factory plug had none but the aeropro plug did,great all working,park car in shed.

next morning went to sort out electric aerial(motor working but no up or down),removed from bracket and left connected,ignition on,door beeper slowly stops beeping(quieter and

quieter then nothing),

stereo not working now.

test red wire from stereo(ign on acc),power good,test yellow wire from stereo very faint power but only after switching ign on,

(still no door beeper and no radio power)

run power from other switch(from one of the climate control plugs)to the yellow wire,door beeper works and stereo works,

so some how after removing the electric aerial from its

bracket,and fitting a new better battery,im looseing voltage to the yellow wire on the adaptor(also tested on oem plug side and same there),

also since this has been happening the battery light is now on in the dash,checked and rechecked both earth strap and pos lead at battery end,

at soem stage during all of this i was moveing the aerial about while still connected and noticed a change in the beeper sound,but since no beeper..

un plugged the elec aerial ,no change,

all seems good and there is plenty of cranking power when starting the engine...

help please!

Hey Jamie, you checked all the fuse? i just replace my died battery today on my R33 Gtst with stereo sound system. and then after that i start my car then the battery light is on on my dash and no power on the radio as well. Pretty much same what you having right now. but have power on window/light/Air cond etc. And then i went back to SuperCheap because i got the battery there, the guy checked for me and my power was on 10.5v on starting engine and V doesnt go up when we rev the engine. And then he said to me, the alternator is broken and need to get it replace as soon as possible otherwise it won't charge the battery and the battery will go flat very fast. I am not 100% sure he is right but i will go around and ask about the alternator.

hey thanks for the replies,actually after the post from DVS JEZ,I went back and went over the fuse`s again,

found 2 were in fact buggered even though to look at they seemed fine.

so thanks guys much appreciated,your prompts lead me to sorting it out.

I spent hours pulling my hair out over something I should have checked more carefully.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
