YO880: Your thread was very handy to me. I removed the GRID for a month, but my problems still occured. I wired it back in myself and soldered all the connections in. It's definately in correctly. Yeah 50/50 is dodgey - The problems started when I set it to 50/50.

Alan: I'll post later today when I ring ICE.

Ok, Seems that some of my problems are caused by my tire sizes. I knew that the tyres had to be the same size front and rear, but my importer assured me that this was ok with the rim and tyre combination he sold me. (Bastard)

ICE put same profile tyres on front and back which has stopped my movement in the rear when I take corners hard. The HICAS light is still on, so they are inverstigating furthur.

My AIR BAG light and ABS light haven't come on for about two weeks after I found a dodgey earth in the engine bay. Thanks heaps to who ever posted that Idea.

Will post more when ICE get back to me.

Sorta, Managed to stop the rear end moving around, with different rim / tyre combo. But still dunno why HICAS light is always on. I'm contacting other service people to see if anyone has the electronic device that plugs into the comupter and tells you exactly whats wrong with your baby. I have the car back from ICE now thou. They had too much work on to look furthur into it.

Will keep you in mind when I solve this problem.... if ever....

Update. If anyone ever gets the Airbag and ABS lights coming on and their battery is slowly looking chage and releasing acid into the air giving a choking smell from the boot. You might just have the same prblem as I did.

Hook up a volt meter to your battery and you will see that the battery is being overcharged when these lights come on. Hence you have a faulty voltage regulator and need to get your altinator reconditioned. Mine cost $200 for fully reco.

      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

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      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.
